In the land of the free there is almost one mass shooting every month. Most would attribute this to the availability of guns. No guns, no problem right? Thing is, this course of action would attempt to treat the symptom, not the problem. We know very well that prohibiting X does not result in the control of it. Alcohol and Drug wars of the last century made this pretty clear. Freedom works best, always.
America has the most gun owners per capita than any other nation yet. Other countries like Switzerland, Finland and Cyprus also have a high percentage of gun ownership yet we almost never see any gun shootings in public places like schools. If there was a correlation between gun ownership and mass shootings these countries would at least have some incidents. There is almost no incidents.
What appears to be the different in America is the imperialistic mentality. After WWII American established itself as the planet's ruler. Wherever one lives, there is exposure to American TV shows and movies, american products, lifestyle, slang, software, you name it. The influence is almost everywhere and in a way that it has become part of us. McDonalds work better than any embassie and some would have hard time imagining their life without them. Same applies to jeans, iphones and a bunch of other things.
This influence on the world has made America feel much like the center of the world. Generation after generation this is taught in schools, family gatherings and presidential elections. What made America great was violence and the imperialistic stance. It got the best of both worlds after the greatest war the human species has ever gone through. Since then America has engaged in the most armed combats in more than 30 countries worldwide, all in the name of "keeping the peace". The rest of the world bowed down, accepted this mentality and life went on. It is the country that has been at war almost constantly since its existence. Denying that this has no relevance with the violence in the U.S has rather become the norm though. Nobody wants to face the elephant in the room.
The amazing American war culture has to be maintained within borders if America is to enlist professional killers. What is the army after all other than a welfare program for psychopaths? Ofcourse this kind of marketing doesn't work so these people are called "heroes" defending the "ideals" of some piece of land that they just happen to be born upon. It makes sense to most people because this is the narrative since birth. This is also why all army enlisting processes work great for poor areas. They are the best livestock and the most likely to buy the narrative since they are useless at pretty much anything else. The heroes that help protect the wealthy and privileges who would rarely join them in the battlefield.
For those who see this situation as problematic, I have a solution for you. If you are indeed an American and proud of your country/heritage then the mass shooters are a true blessing. All these people need is a little direction. Since the killing and dominating mentality is deep engraved in imperial America, these young Jedis should be spotted early on and shipped to war zones. Interview most marines and soldiers and you will see exactly what I mean. Most of them are what we call "troublemakers". The best use for them is the battlefield so they can be face to face with their true nature. If every army did this, everybody wins. Assholes killing assholes benefits everyone. It keeps schools safe, the American machine running, the patriots proud and human nature satisfied. The only ones that will keep bitching are some politically correct millennial plebs that are never satisfied with anything anyways.
To the idealists that dream of a peaceful planet where everyone joins hands and dances to kumbaya, I would say to pull their head off their own asses. People are different from one another. There are people who are peaceful, there are people who live on quarrels and trouble. Such is the nature of our species. To those who attribute this to "mental problems" I would point you to the fact that every single medical and behavioural treatment for changing one's personality might actually result in more violence and death. In fact, such has been the case with psychiatric medication. It claims more lives that heroin itself. In over 30 years of research and medical treatment there has been no decrease in violent gun crimes. It actually increased. So unless psychiatry becomes a real science with real treatment it should refrain from making things ever worse, heck even causing them in some instances. (I am talking about medicating children because they don't obey or don't want to be in school).
The system that works best is the one of absolute freedom. Anarchy in that sense does not mean without rules but without rulers. Some children do not belong to schools and will never fit in. Some are born assholes and we can blame it to the imperialistic culture, the parents or the genes. It does not matter. What matters is what a group of people does in order to direct these people to the right channels of society. The problem begins when we try to force troublemakers into a system they don't belong because of our naive belief that everyone should be schooled or "helped". It is much like trying to dress a feral cat for the sake of cuteness and then wondering why the cat fucked you up in the process. The problem was never with the cat. The problem is with the one trying to change someone to fit their own ideals and beliefs.
In martial arts people learn about the flow of energy. You shall never try to block or deny the force coming towards you but rather tunel it for your own advantage. This is how an organised ad mature society should treat these people. Fuck human rights, fuck political correctness and keeping appearances. The solution is extremely simple. They love guns and trouble? Give them one and ship them to a place where they can have fun.
