Is the problem guns or American people? The scientific approach would be to compare American murders and extreme violence with that of a similar country. I nominate England -- my impression is that the English suffer from American pathologies like irrational anger, fear of immigrants, and pandering politicians. Do they also have mass shootings or major non-gun mayhem?
We both agree there is problem to be addressed the question is how. You want to blanket curtail freedoms for the whole population because of the deviant few. I would rather solve the root source of the issue, suicidal people who do not value their lives or others.
And your suggestion on how to do this is what?
In this order:
1) Strengthen unions where ever possible to increase wages of labor. Especially manual labor that men do.
Agreed. Income inequality has reduced when unions were strong, and increased when unions were weak. Income inequality is a root cause of many socioeconomic woes.
2) Strengthen the traditional family unit, make it possible and practical to raise middle class families again. Decrease the welfare state.
Unlike many on the "left,"
I support family values. But I don't see the relationship to the welfare state, at least if welfare programs are properly designed.
3) Tone down the white male bashing for a bit. Females are plenty empowered now, this is not the 1900's anymore.
White male bashing would be bad.
But is this not a largely "made-up" problem? Americans do not see "white male bashing" in their lives; they just "learn" about it when listening to Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, and other liars. (Yes, a tiny number of hard-core leftists poison the debate. That ilk needs to be booed down.)
4) Provide government assistance to science to determine toxicity of the environment in order to understand why men are losing fertility and more and more turning into girls. Pass more regulation against plastic bottles and pesticides. Figure out why sperm counts are now 50% lower than they were in 1960 and still in decline. The Romans killed themselves with lead pipes and we are killing ourselves with plastic bottles.
Are sperm counts down? I'd heard that testosterone levels were down; that would seem more important. I don't have a particularly pro-testosterone agenda, but I want to conserve the natural order. (Yes, one might argue that such changes are the "natural" result of our new society, but RAPID change is often for the worse.)
5) Make it politically acceptable to be able to talk about science as it relates to the 2 genders. How evolution gave us male and female and that other half sexes do not make the population more fit. We do not have to bash transsexuals but science can not prefer a half biological gender "it" for the population in general. We can not fix our environment unless we can admit there is a problem with increasingly more half genders that should not be the standard.
I do NOT see the problem. Are you worried about a lowered birth-rate due to same-sex partnerships? Or is this just more of the Hannity-Carlson ilk babbling bullshit about public restrooms?
There are far too many incels running around today and far too many young men who are involuntarily not getting layed. That is a recipe for extreme violence throughout the population, whether or not there is a 2nd amendment. In pre nuclear days a conventional war would resolve most of this. We do not have that option today. But what I do believe is that taking away the 2nd amendment and feminizing men is not the right solution either for the US or humanity. Because even with high testosterone most men were not violent in the 1960's because they were able to participate in a life worth living.
What are the statistics on reduced testosterone? Which countries are most affected? What are the levels in incels? In gun nuts like Kyle Rittenhouse? Any stats on the testosterone levels of recent mass shooters?
Is low testosterone caused by pollution? Or by social changes? Are plastic bottles really part of this problem?
