What changed? Did you not read my post? Almost everything I listed has been a big change since 1976. And there's lots more in the etc., etc., etc. like social media issues and that we've manufactured like ~300 million guns since 1976.cradleandshoot wrote: ↑Wed Mar 29, 2023 3:15 pmSo what changed from when I graduated from HS in 1976 to graduating from HS in 2023?

What you fail to address is why a new generation of young people, or at least a disturbing minority of them, want to kill innocent children before they commit suicide by cop.
Why do young people (and some old people) wanna kill innocent kids and adults before getting killed themselves? Have you taken a look around lately?
Economic inequality, working 3 jobs just to afford the basics, medical bankruptcy and sky high bills, easy access to guns, inability to buy a home/land, billionaires owning everything, media stoking irrational fears like the trans are coming for you and your kids, the inability to pay for a 4-year college by working a summer or part-time job, global warming, physical abuse at home, easy access to guns, drug epidemic, covid pandemic issues, lack of parental involvement, lack of extracurriculars, feeling like school is a prison, copycat shootings because of media coverage, cultures of violence and easy access to guns, lack of mental health treatment, lack of hope for the future, daycare costs, etc., etc., etc.
Oh I read your post alright. You list a litany of different assorted issues that you believe are serious problems in the USA today. Many of those same issues were a problem in 1976. They didn't just magically materialize overnight. There were still millions of guns in the 1970s. There was rampant drug abuse in the 70s. Alot of people went bankrupt in the 70s. Medical bankruptcies skyrocketed in direct correlation to medical costs skyrocketing. Alot of kids could not afford 4 years of college in the 70s. Do you remember what interest rates were on a home mortgage in the 70s? Of course I'm concerned that our kids are forced to learn in schools that resemble maximum security prisons. Do you think the kids don't understand that this is not what going to school is suppose to be like? Right along with fire drills they have to conduct active shooter drills. Do you think school children get use to going through metal detectors and having an armed police officer walking the hallways?? Maybe when little Jimmy leaves school and goes home to his video game to shoot up the world he fails to understand in the real world you don't come back to life. Guns and easy access to them is a huge problem. Those other issues are cultural and almost impossible to fix. I suppose we can be grateful our school children no longer have to duck and cover.NattyBohChamps04 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 29, 2023 11:30 pmWhat changed? Did you not read my post?

I remember air raid drills circa 1962 and being under my desk to avoid the flying glass in the event of a Soviet missile attack. A lot of good that would have done. Something to keep them safe, whether a guard, an armed teacher or a metal detector is a lot less scary than a drill to deal with a total wipeout of life as you know it.cradleandshoot wrote: ↑Thu Mar 30, 2023 6:56 amOh I read your post alright.

I remember that going to school in the 60s and 70s was a much different experience. It wasn't always fun for many of us. I know speaking for myself I never feared for my life while I was inside the school building. It is a sad state of affairs that our nation has to convert our schools into minimum security prisons. The times they are a changing.get it to x wrote: ↑Thu Mar 30, 2023 7:22 amI remember air raid drills circa 1962 and being under my desk to avoid the flying glass in the event of a Soviet missile attack.

So what is your solution? My solution is there is no solution short of banning guns altogether. The number of weapons is meaningless. It is trying to minimize the use of weapons by unstable people and criminals.
You just confused a huge gaggle of forum posters who can't comprehend the meaning of your short, succinct little post. They are the same people who believe SUVs randomly take control of the vehicle and drive into a tree.
Hey kid, go kill 17 kids in a few minutes without a gun.
The guns in people's homes weren't 5.56 semi-autos with 30+ round magazines. They were hunting rifles, shotguns, revolvers.cradleandshoot wrote: ↑Thu Mar 30, 2023 6:56 amOh I read your post alright.
