Of 27 Deadliest Mass Shooters, 26 of Them Were Fatherless

@Ex-Pat

But he wasn’t fatherless, which is the point of this thread.

The point of this thread is that the father did not guide their son into adulthood due to either no, a broken or poor relationship. What’s left in the son…is anger. I thought I saw this pattern years ago and am glad it’s now being exposed. I don’t know what to do next but…it is the first step.

[Plasmaball]

In a sense he is right. They dont understand right vs wrong with something’s.

@Plasmaball

Fatherless is part of the problem…but guns have become part of it as well because it’s become an outlet for these men.

Damn dude…what will we do with alcohol if they start drinking?

[Plasmaball]

We have regulations on drinking…what will you do when you make a good point?

Who knows!

Oh…so we don’t have regulations against murder?

You are talking about different degrees and issues.

A husband who kills his wife could be because of a whole host of issues.
A bf who beats his gf could have gotten that from a father figure.

A person who goes and shoots a bunch of people typically are trying to fill a vacuum where a role model or friends should have been.

It’s not complicated to be that evil…either you do it or you dont.

[Cynic]

I think he is trying to find a point to this thread.

Let me ask you a very simple question. If a father dies should all his kids be removed from that family because they no longer have a father?

I’m not an expert but in my amateur opinion, it’s a natural occurrence and in that way, doesn’t inflict the same emotional damage to the children.

We can’t keep people from getting a divorce.
We can’t keep people from being evil.
We can’t force parents to be good role models.
We can’t keep people from learning hateful ideologies.

We can keep people from getting guns.

I’m watching everyone dance around the edges of this issue. Some blame guns. Some are saying mental. Some are saying parents or lack there of.

It’s all of it. Its steady little ticks that eventually rise up and give you these shootings.

It’s the kid who was picked on through school.
Who had basically no friends. Who was always alone or maybe had one other friend.
Trying to fill a space inside them that they are a good person, but with no guidance other thoughts can enter ones head about more radical things.

It’s the kid who’s parents split up and falls I to a deep depression and hides it rather well.

It’s the young teen who gets rejected by girls and for that matter is basically ignored by them. So they search out other forms of communication… sometimes its online. Where we tend to form bubbles for our collective thoughts.

So the kid needs an outlet…you have parents who reject him. A society that rejects him. An online forum that accepts him but feeds him things like illegals are rapists and drug traffickers…

So they turn to trolling, Racism, arguing against society changing and for some they get pushed to the extreme because nobody is listening to them that matters. Their online friends can only do so much. Our politicians arent doing anything. Our cops arent doing anything so they must.

So they reach for something that will cause maximum impact…a gun…yes while it is a tool it is part of the problem. To talk about this issue you must accept that guns are part of the issue here. Are they fully to blame? No.

Nothing is ever 100% full proof…

[tnt]

True.

But while we try to untangle that difficult mess of a problem, let’s just make it harder for that kid to get his hands on a gun.

Of course not. But I’d take a 50% reduction in mass shootings, wouldn’t you? Hell, I’ll take 25% of the kids in Sandy Hook alone…

Kon 1…where’d ya go?

@Smyrna

The weapon of destruction is symbolically close to the weapon of success. A mother and father created this child. It was born from love and not just lust. The two are united for the child to enter adulthood and have a successful, fulfilling life. The father is the barrel. He’s strong, keeps the energy developed from with in, contained. He keeps the dirt and other contaminants outside the inner barrel. The mother is the rifling. As the clock of time goes round and round, so does the rifling with in the barrel…properly guiding the family forward in life. The child is the bullet. The strength of their marriage is the gunpowder. The longer they’re together in loving unity, the longer the barrel. The mother and father unitedly aim their child at the target of success and at the time of graduation or some other appropriate time…they unitedly squeeze the trigger and pray their child hits the target. This is the natural methodology of passing on life’s lessons from one generation, to the next. When this breaks down, there is much sadness and anger…and who knows where the bullet will land

No its not. You want to equate a strong family mechanism to that of a mechanism of a gun.

A bullet’s reason for being is destruction, devastation, death. To equate that to the role of the child raised in a loving family system is a ridiculous analogy even for here in hannityland. In no way is a complex family system similar to the simple mechanical system of a gun.

[CaughtInTheMiddle]

We simply need to be like other countries where there are no divorces.

[Konssurvative1]

I added your post to mine…so other readers had it as reference. It’s back.
