You can buy guns in American Supermarkets, but you can’t buy Kinder Eggs as they are banned for health and safety reasons? Lets work that out?

You can't choke on an assault rifle.

On my previous post regarding the root cause of these shootings, I recomend Dave Cullen's book 'Columbine' description reads as:

"The tragedies keep coming. As we reel from the latest horror . . ."

So begins a new epilogue, illustrating how Columbine became the template for nearly two decades of "spectacle murders." It is a false script, seized upon by a generation of new killers. In the wake of Parkland, Charleston, Newtown, Aurora, and Virginia Tech, the imperative to understand the crime that sparked this plague grows more urgent every year."

This book was published in 2010 and since then think of the sheer number of mass shootings since then.

As America will never change their gun laws they really need to start addressing the reason why so many disenfranchised people in their society take such drastic acts for 15 minutes of fame - and crucially how the media fans the flames for future incidents.
 
The people will believe what the media tells them they believe.

Aye but that comes from a book, which itself is a type of media, so it could all be lies.

Lies?, what lies?
A man who lies to himself, and believes his own lies becomes unable to recognize truth, either in himself or in anyone else, and he ends up losing respect for himself and for others. When he has no respect for anyone, he can no longer love, and, in order to divert himself, having no love in him, he yields to his impulses, indulges in the lowest forms of pleasure, and behaves in the end like an animal. And it all comes from lying - lying to others and to yourself.

Fyodor Dostoevsky
