Some respondent here is obviously pro-NRA. To claim other modes of mass killing are just as easy is patently absurd. There is zero credibility to that argument. Once upon a time, the NRA actually stood for the interests of law abiding gun owners. Now it is shamelessly all about maximizing sales for the gun manufacturers. This started with NRA change in leadership in the 1970s, and now intentionally distorts news to try to alarm rank and file NRA members, all because that promotes gun sales. The NRA leadership has become a giant pox on this nation.

I think you are wrong in your attitude about men just being killing machines, because some mental dysfunction most have them to the start they are at, you can not tell me someone rational would load up a gun then go out and shoot the hell out of ten plus people or worse.....they must have something troubling them mentally, some kind of mental illness to be able to do so to start with even if they can't declare insanity, they most certainly must be.

TESTOSTERONE: the root of 99% (give or take) of social ills. ?
But honestly, I am not sure how to separate the effects of biologically driven aggression from fucked up (toxic) notions of masculinity and what is "supposed" to be important to us as men. It is depressing.

Nice propaganda ???? But not all mental illnesses are the same because if they were men would drown their children or kill them so that can pursue a sexual relationship with someone who doesn’t want to have anything to do with a child created with someone else.

But to be fair not all mass shootings are committed by mentally ill some do it because they see themselves as being something more than what they really are and the rest because they’re simply terrorist.

And it has absolutely nothing to do with the weapon itself I have a loaded weapon within a foot of me right now and it’s been there every night for roughly a decade and it is often on me while in public and not once has it ever tried to leap out of my holster and kill someone so blaming a firearm is actually ignorant.

If someone really wanted to they could use dozens of other perfectly legal items and do as much or more damage than they can with a firearm but since society has chosen to demonize an inanimate object those who use them for mass shootings do so because of the fear and outrage they’ll receive. But this is purely from my personal experience, you and everyone else is entitled to their own opinion even if it’s inaccurate.

I'd be interested in the 2% that aren't. I can only think of one female mass shooter.
