http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-02-15/florida-shooting-17-confirmed-dead-several-people-surgery/9449...

one wonders just how bad these shootings will get in the future

seems each one is worse than the last and they are happening more often.

@myoclon1cjerkwrote:
The reality is it's only mid February and events like this will probably happen at least a half a dozen times before year's end.
Trump will front the cameras and say the assailant was mad,evil etc.and the gutless politicians won't do anything about it. I

The Florida shooting was actually the 18th school shooting already this year. The kids that saw their schoolmates killed in Parkland Florida have actually started a movement and have made some real progress. They are bright, well spoken and angry at having grown up in an age where school violence has become somewhat 'common place'. And they will be voting soon. Some companys are cancelling their contracts with the NRA and no longer giving incentive discounts to NRA members. It's seems small, but more has been done in the last few weeks than has been done in the last two decades, so it's encouraging.

US citizens destroy their guns in viral #Oneless campaign in wake of Florida school shooting.

A movement that is growing is the US

my guess is the crazy gun people wont join the movement

I know this is most likely a stupid question but as school venue public mass shootings ( 4 or more kia)  seem a regular event but only happening in one country of the world at such alarming frequency, what is it about the school system there or young life in general there that garners such extreme violent behavior  ?

Nobody seems to be asking this question. 

I might have overlooked glaring in depth studies into the motivations and issues of the shooters relative to their interactions with their environments of influence but if such studies exist I would be  interested to be enlightened.

i think when you have large sections of the community living in pretty poor conditions whilst another sections of the community lives in comfort there will allways be those who want to 'get back' at those they see as the enemy.

when you then arm those down trodden individuals it a recipe for disaster.

on top of that you indoctate the idea murder is the way to solve problems, just watch american tv and films. people getting slaughtered by angry people is a common theme.

its not the reason behind all gun deaths in the USA but i believe its one reason why it happens so often.

very few of these mass murders are truly by terrorists in the true meaning of what most would call a terrorist. that being a person or group with a religeous bent on killing anyone not of they're beliefs.

its just easy for govt to yell 'terrorist' every time some bugga grabs his weapons after someones 'upset' them and kills are bunch of people. schools are an easy target, lots of people and low security.

This gives an idea of how it is in the US when guns are involved:

which still begs the question , as it is not other venues that get targeted , what is it about the US school system or social environment therein that garners such extreme violent behavior from some ? 

Is there a common denominator ? Are there common factors ? ie Do those schools promote an accepted culture of distain and prim loathing amongst peer groups ? I ponder , there has been some hints from some of the surviving shooters , as there was from our own M***** B. that allude to a rationale ( a rationale unjustified but still a rationale ) 

But nobody seems to be asking this question.

i did say, easy target, lots of people, low security.

until now, i suspect as we have allready heard from the mouth of prez trump, the fix will be more security. (read weapons)

arm teachers is his first idea.

prolly build a big wall will be in the mix too.

Same conditions exist here , and i do not recall many shooterings , in fact none at all - so why the difference ? More sectarian in the class ?, emotionally aggressive ? bullying tolerated ? gun culture as an instrument of enforcement of wills or defense cultivated rather than recreational use only ? Lost in the crowds ? 

so i am still puzzled
