Taking guns away is not a viable idea in US, in fact it's even less viable than overthrowing Putin in RussiaPlease present disinterested evidence that press coverage of school shootings helps angry youths to get a gun and kill people at school.
You're focusing on the wrong thing. While you might be able to take away the guns you aren't going to be able to take away all the weapons. We aren't going to take away all the cars!
However, going after the motivation doesn't require removing all the weapons.
Look later in the thread, you'll find an example of what I have in mind actually working.
You are so right. If guns are unavailable, these attacks will take place using other weapons. That's why there are dozens of deadly knife and vehicular attacks on British, Canadian, French, German and Australian schools each year.
Oh, wait.
Shit.
Your hypotheses really don't stand up well to even the slightest scrutiny, do they. And yet you keep on trotting them out...
So I have a better idea which I suspect will work - voluntary total ban on coverage of school shootings by the media (TV, facebook, etc,but mainly TV). CNN&Co just need to air the statement saying "This is a last time we cover school shooting, here is why...." and that should be it.
All these coverages are exactly the same, same story, same script, what's the point to repeat it each time?
