They aren’t as easy as buying a gun and pulling a trigger. That’s the comparison, not to ease compared to the 70s.

So then we're back to one of my other arguments: It was far easier to buy a gun, including full-blown machine guns back then, but we didn't see mass shootings like we do now. What's changed?

mofos acting like 3D printing isn't as accessible are in denial
I'm not gon dry snitch but with a approx $100 and a standard drill press u can make an AR15 lower
plus the argument about how expensive it would be doesn't follow when the Uvalde shooter had the money to afford a Daniel Defense AR........Daniel Defense is one of the most expensive AR manufacturers when there are plenty of cheaper ones available
these mass shooters are not worried about expense/availability
what's being ignored is people don't want to go past the surface to figure out what is motivating these people to commit mass shootings
and gun control people simply focus on the gun instead of looking for real solutions to provide safety to the public

and u betta not be one of those "black lives matter" people who were protesting police brutality
but yet u also somehow support gun control
cuz how u expect the same govt institutions u protest against to keep u safe while u are also advocating for them to take ur guns
how do u expect to be able to protect urself from crime

And now we’re back to one of my other arguments. When societal dynamics change, access must change accordingly.
When there’s an opioid epidemic, they don’t say let’s figure out why people need opioids and make it even easier to get them. They cut the access.

I don't understand why it's not being discussed more. It's definitely not games
Seems like key factors are parenting and infamy IMO. Majority of people can go to the movies and see a violent shooter and not want to go replicate it
Perhaps the idea that your life will become public knowledge and people will remember something about you decades after you're gone

did you not read the article I linked??? Bombing WAS commonplace. It was so common that folks were getting that "oh, that again???" attitude towards bombings like hood niggas in the late 80's and 90's about drug shootings like this:
No crying, emotion or anything but "yo ole boy got smoked..." "damn... that's the streets for ya".
People do discuss those things. Alot. It's all over this thread. There's plenty of posts about why America specifically seems to have the relationship with guns and viewing them as the solution to problems. And that all involves mental health, societal influences and more. That shit isn't being ignored at all.

From the article:
"Consider what happened when another Puerto Rican group detonated a small bomb in a Bronx cinema while a rapt crowd watched a movie called The Liberation of L.B. Jones. When police ordered everyone to leave, an NYPD spokesman complained, the audience angry refused, demanding to see the rest of the movie. When police insisted, “They about tore the place apart.”"
Think about that: A bomb goes off in the very theater you're in and instead of running or leaving when police tell you it's time to go, you get mad and wanna continue watching the flick.

Again I get it the 70s was bombing everyday and etc I’ve never heard my parents talk about bomb threats in the 70s or 80s at all tho. I’ve heard them talk about guns. We have more guns than people not more bombs. Bringing up other weapons which are not used as much as guns does what?
Again the mental health part is valid but mental health gets no support so idk why you keep saying that.

Uh….no.
In Washington & Oregon, they’ve legalized possession of a lot of hard drugs because it’s become beyond them to control. Opioids run the streets more than ever. In Seattle. people can smoke their fenty pills in front of the cops and they won’t/do anything but help you if you overdose.

3D printing has come an extremely long way and I don’t think a lot of people understand all that’s possible these days.
Y’all seen this 0% lower printer? It takes a raw block of aluminum and makes it into a AR lower.
