Finland school shooting leaves multiple wounded

The % of these who are on ssris is so wild I would not even call it a conspiracy theory. Like 99.x%

Right, shootings have nothing to do with guns.

Guns don't king people, mental health kills people. Especially when the mentally ill have guns.

People kill people, and guns make it much easier.

Fool. If someone is bound and determined to commit a heinous act, they’ll find some way to do it, and the type of weapon is irrelevant.

I’m sure OP is willing to take a baseball bat against somebody armed with a Kalashnikov to prove that point.

And I’m confident that the cops in Uvalde would’ve stayed dithering in the hallway if the perp had been armed with a knife or a pool cue.

Knives don’t cut vegetables, people do, so you should be able to just cut vegetables with bare hands.

You also don’t need toilet paper coz toilet paper don’t clean ass.

Don’t go off script, man.

Remember: when someone suggests that a certain type of gun control will reduce types of gun violence over the long term, bring up shootings in locations where there is gun control to prove that such laws don’t eliminate gun violence.

At least you have one part of it right : if the gun control advocate is an idiot, then you’re all set. If not, make sure that you recast their argument so that it sounds like they’re making the most idiotic version of their argument, then rip that to shreds. Simple.

So what are you proposing here?

Universal/free access to mental health services?

And don’t forget to scream at the top of your lungs about the Second Amendment being the only true guard against tyranny.

Look at the low quality of life of people in Scandinavian countries and Japan. They all live in fear of the tyrannical regimes under whose iron fist they dwell.

It’s not like the US, where the Second Amendment has made every true Patriot certain that their government is held in check, so they are delighted with their elected representation at the moment. Because they’re certain the ability to own powerful weapons is the surest path to maintaining civil society. You know it and I know it. Let’s keep making these smart arguments, and then maybe even the thickheaded Libs will know it.

don't they already have that in Finland?

To my knowledge, we have not found a "cure" for mental illness

Not sure what the "solution" is however

But they have WAY LESS mass shooting than in US, so clearly the universal health care is working.

Maybe something else too? We might never know.

Let’s fact check your statement.

Actually, the frequency of mass public shootings per capita in Finland is higher than the US.

So “clearly” the universal healthcare is not working??

“A 2015 CPRC report stated that the frequency of mass public shootings per million people in the US was 0.078 which placed it 12th in the world on this measure. France had a mass shooting frequency rate of 0.092, placing it 11th. Finland was seventh with a frequency rate of 0.184. Switzerland was fourth with a rate of 0.249.”

“Japan has the highest number of beds in mental hospitals per 100,000 population as 269 as against 68 in average among OECD countries (Kanata 2016 )”

…and Japan’s rate of mass shooting per capita is extremely low.

There is no “cure” for mental disease, but it is possible to keep them in a safe place, where they will not be in a position to “also” take street drugs…

LOL

Yeah let’s fact check your CPRC source.

Do mass shootings occur more often in France, Switzerland and Finland than in the United States?

If you think Japan and inner city Cleveland or Baltimore is the same, then you’ve got a shocking amount of epiphany to be had (and probably some unsheltering to do).

You also don’t get to pick and choose which amendments should be/not be followed, despite any amount of sarcasm or elite level of snarkiness you use.

Yes, it’s straight from that article

what she said was not correct. She did not state it properly.

What really matters of course is the rate per capita.

That’s where the US falls behind Finland

That’s probably what she meant, but she did not express it properly

You can’t possibly have read the entire article or is your comprehension really that horrific?

apples and oranges. our country is nothing like those two. Japan and Finland would probably have a much different look if 1 out of every 8 people was a foreign resident. it's not difficult to imagine how that changes the way you can conduct things like social services.

that's to say nothing of the vast cultural differences we have even among our own citizens.
