If used correctly, a vehicle is just as deadly as a firearm if not more. Our problem here in America is mental health.Kukulkan wrote: ↑Sat Dec 04, 2021 2:04 amI think the Sandy Hook shooter could have achieved similar outcomes even with a knife. Obviously with no guns the amount of deaths from mass violence would decrease. I guess what I am trying to say is that it wouldn't disappear, so the better solution is the one that helps for a long term remedy (addressing mental health, toxic gun culture, etc.) rather than a short term reactionary one (ban all or most of the guns owned in the USA currently).

I think the kid needed a social circle, some friends.

Do you think Paddock could have achieved a similar outcome without his AR-15?

Unless the reporting on the story is false, a kid drawing graphic depictions of death and gore most likely would benefit from psychotherapy. I don't think 'having friends' addresses those kinds of issues.doubtingthomas wrote: ↑Sat Dec 04, 2021 2:21 am"Most infants, children, and adolescents facing mental health challenges - including autism, psychosis, mania, depression, anxiety, and substance use - do not receive evidence-based treatments."

According to authorities, on a piece of paper in front of Crumbley, the teacher saw the words: "the thoughts won't stop, help me" and a drawing of a bullet and the phrase: "blood everywhere."
There was a sketch of a person shot twice and bleeding, a laughing emoji and the final lines: “my life is useless” and “the world is dead.”

Tell me what you think is at the root of that issue?

Considering the perpetrator in the Nice, France 2016 attack managed to kill 86 with just a truck, yes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Nice_truck_attackdoubtingthomas wrote: ↑Sat Dec 04, 2021 2:26 amDo you think Paddock could have achieved a similar outcome without his AR-15?

In a more recent context, the pandemic has obviously exacerbated a lot of underlying issues.
On a bigger scale though, I think poverty, lack of social mobility, increased political tension, substance abuse are a few that come to the top of my head.

I am just pointing out that most children "do not receive evidence-based treatments."
