NewfieMike Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 you can't change aggression. We have been aggressive for millennia. Therefore I don't believe the "behavior" can be changed. If you want shootings to stop, access to firearms has to be more difficult than walking into a Wal-Mart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO Agression =/= delinquency, and here we have more Delinquency than aggression, You are right, we've been aggressive since we are as a specie, and this is maybe the first answer we give when we have to protect our own property/image/position, I mean, we have point...but those shootings are different...

We get very similar video games, movies, TV programs and have a similar cultures in many other ways and yet there is something else going on top of this because we don't routinely have all these shootings going on. Certainly access to firearms is part of it in my mind but still if you wanted to get your hands on weapons in Canada you can. There are still big differences between the countries.

AtomSmasher19 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Depressed? Suicidal? Want to draw national attention to your suffering? All you have to do is shoot up 10 kids at your school! School shootings are going to keep happening until the mainstream news media stops reporting them. But of course, the mainstream news media is anti-gun, and school shootings cause people to rally around anti-gun legislation, so that's not going to happen. Which is ironic, because gun grabbers are supposedly about saving lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
