Malcolm Gladwell put forward an interesting hypothesis that school shootings inspire copycat behavior, and that the mass shooting at Columbine was ground zero for the phenomenon.

I thought it was an interesting take on the issue, and seemed intellectually sound.

Left out of the article is any mention that nearly all the shooters have been on psychiatric medication.

Can anyone explain why the media ignores this data, and why the public is not screaming for reform?

The article has some points to consider. There is something beyond guns but what is it. Guns have always been around. When I went to high school I belonged to the rod and gun club. We carried . 22 rifles into the school and shot targets in unused classrooms. Kids carried guns in their cars so they could go hunting after school. No one shot at each other. If a fight broke out, it was fists behind the building, you didn't come back with a gun after your ass was kicked either.

SDO seems to be the bigrst thing: [en.m.wikipedia.org]

I think this may point us toward what is going on:

Interesting article.

Also most of these knuckleheads share a common interest in far right web sites to reinforce their sense of frustrated entitlement. Whether, racist/white supremacist, xenophobic, homophobic, anti-Semitic, misogynistic etc. most are regular visitors to these sites. SPLC and Extremist Watch are 2 good websites I use for this info.

I pass. Remove the Fucking Guns of civilian population and see how everything falls in place.

The USA has become the wild, wild west, shoot first and ask questions later! It makes you famous for a little while before the next gunslinger arrives and takes away your fame.
