Instead of stricter gun laws, many people putting the fault on the mentally ill. But, about 60% of mass shooters have had a serious mental disorder history. ]]> 2019-05-17 14:04:05 UTC https://padlet.com/amygmoe92/jjo0rkql69q2/wish/361185839 amygmoe92 https://padlet.com/amygmoe92/jjo0rkql69q2/wish/361185900 Homicides and mass murders are more common among extremists.

The long term effect on the brain of violent games is still being researched and there is no solid evidence that lack of morals/religion in our society is a leading cause. Extremists are known for their gun violence and many mass shootings were committed by someone who was mentally ill, but the root of the problem is the number of guns that are accessible. ]]> 2019-05-17 14:04:30 UTC https://padlet.com/amygmoe92/jjo0rkql69q2/wish/361186012 amygmoe92 https://padlet.com/amygmoe92/jjo0rkql69q2/wish/364155558 Some people believe faulty parenting, separation of government and church, and violence entertainment are the problem.
