Gun stores want to make money. Show me the incentive and I'll show you the outcome.
Exactly. Being known as the gun store that supplied a mass shooter with his weapons is a good way to kill future business. Being known as the gun store that cares about its community enough to partner willingly with mental health professionals is a great way to bring in future business.
the root cause is the mental state of the would-be shooter
Absolutely agree.
That the solution is to wind back the clock to narrow moral codes is something I disagree with. The number of shooters that come from "happy families" suggest that's not a universal solution.
And the other solution are redundant if you can solve the root problem. In the Uvalde case, I haven't yet seen or heard any explanation for the murder of his grandmother?
I believe that it will take a bunch of different cultural changes to mitigate mass shootings. Its a very tough issue because the root cause is the mental state of the would-be shooter. Here are a few of my thoughts on the matter. Fair warning, many of my views are very, very conservative.
This is getting long so I'll end here. OP is right that this is a complicated issue. However we do need to recognize that we need to tackle its root causes, not the symptoms.
