Every mass shooting has three elements: the killer, the weapon and the cultural climate. As soon as the shooting stops, partisans immediately pick their preferred root cause with corresponding pet panacea. Names are hurled, scapegoats paraded, prejudices vented. The argument goes nowhere.

Collapse of the traditional two-parent family, removal of Christianity from the public square, control of thought & speech, unfettered illegal immigration, media sewage pumped to every electronic device, massive Leftist government.

It’s all going to plan.
Every mass shooting has three elements: the killer, the weapon and the cultural climate
—————————————————————
I agree. And the element of least importance? The weapon. And actually the killer is a natural result of our culture climate.
And even if Americans repealed the second amended and confiscated every last weapon in the US, we still would not change our current cultural climate. We still would not find an answer or solution to the hatred and violence ongoing every day here in America.
So what’s the answer to curbing gun violence? What’s the answer to stop these massacres in school shootings?
Ending liberalism. Ending the culture of hate, racism, perversion and evil that is predominant in the Democrat party.
Rush Limbaugh: ‘Abortion Is at the Root of So Much That Has and Is Going Wrong in This Country’
https://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2013/06/14/abortion_at_the_root_of_our_cultural_decay/
We seldom seem to talk about the culture and how it affects problems in our country.
We talk about it a lot here on Free Republic, but in the popular political discourse, it’s scarcely mentioned.
Which means it’s news to liberals and many ordinary citizens, to think about issues such as fatherless homes, single mother households, how children are raised, as being problems.
Remember how Dan Quayle touched on some of this years ago, in criticizing a TV show with a single mother. In the popular culture, it was portrayed as an attack on single mothers. And the discussion of some serious issues was stillborn, due to the liberal and media portrayal of Quayle attacking single moms.
I recall hearing how Justice Scalia, when he was in school in New York City, took a rifle on the subway to school, as he was participating in after school shooting activities.
I recall other stories, from other parts of the country, in which students took rifles to school in their vehicles, as they took part in shooting activities as well.
Of course this was all decades ago.
Excellent. Thanks for posting.
and the 19th amendment is the root of abortion ...
While 19 children were killed by sicko, in the same time, about hundred were killed by abortion.
Yes, it does. And thank you for using the term "pre-born" instead of "un-born".
“Unless you are prepared to confiscate all existing firearms, disarm the citizenry and repeal the Second Amendment, it’s almost impossible to craft a law that will be effective.”
And you can bet your bippy that is exactly what the Democrats will ultimately try to do. This is what happened in Venezuela and look at the results. The elites have the weapons and food and the defenseless plebes eat out of their garbage cans.
Sorry Charles.
There are more factors.
We can go strictly on the defense with these murderers.
More fences…..more guards…..more locks….
Or we can go on the offense.
Identify them…..remove them from the general population…..intimidate them…..
We probably need both.
I don’t recommend being strictly defensive.
“Generation Abortable” is very angry inside, because they’ve been told their lives have no value. They will act out accordingly.
Doing away with the death penalty started us down this path to murder and terrorism!
God out of the school, even if you didn’t believe .. you were still discussing morality!
Bail, no money bail for violent crimes!
Making it nearly impossible to arrest.. Let alone prosecute races other than the evil, racist white men!
Ruling that a minor cannot be sentenced to the death penalty .. Regardless of the number of people they murder!
Can’t serve life without a chance of parole either!
These are but a few of the reasons we are in the turmoil we are in today!
It isn’t and never has been the gun!
I carried my rifle to school on Wednesday’s and Friday’s as a kid and so did others.
The gun never escaped from my locker and went on a killing spree!
All of the above problems were caused by leftists, communists and Democrats with their policies to help the criminal element!
Now the same leftists, communists and Democrats want to take my gun, my self protection?
Like someone once said .. “Bullets First! “
I don't disagree with the three points I see, but here's another factor: Severe Mental Illness, beyond what "society" can impart on an individual.
Here's a picture of the demon of the Sandy Hook killings:
Does this look like someone that is even aware of the (abominable) abortion rate?
I'm all for ending abortion, for all sorts of basic justice and societal reasons. But we have to be honest about just how sick - truly sick - and needing PRIOR institutionalization - these murdering demons are.
has three elements: the killer, the weapon and the cultural climateKrauthammer is wrong, because if your take away the particular weapon, you still have a mass murderer.
Contempt for pre born life leads to contempt for post born life
How about “Without GOD, all things are possible”. (Hint-Not good things)
People used to turn churches and communities through rough times. They used to have a sense about people. Now, since Welfare and Roe v Wade, Fedgov has replaced community and church, and GOD.
Now, for many, their is No GOD.
What a wise man. He is sorely missed.
