    I mean… he took his shot with her 5 years ago, was rejected and then stayed friends while she went through all those other guys to then come back around and try to settle for him. I can see how he’d struggle with that. I’d probably feel like a last resort in that situation too. Also I think this story is rage bait so don’t get to invested.


  • There’s more to it than that. It was pretty normal where I grew up to have guns in the house and accessible. Almost all of my classmates grew up similarly and nothing happened. I’d wager it’s the same in our demographic back then. All those developing brains with access to guns and school shooting were a rarity. There’s other factors that we should be working to identify so that those individuals can get the help they need before they do something terrible.

    That’s not to say that gun owners shouldn’t be more responsible about locking them up than we were when I was growing up but we can be doing a lot more than that bare minimum.






  • Yeah, grew up around guns and always had easy access to them. I also grew up learning gun safety for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is my grandfather teaching me how to handle the bb gun he bought me for my first Christmas safely and that guns were dangerous and not to be treated as toys.

    I also had a terrible time in school and easy access to them if I had wanted to do a school shooting but the thought never even occurred to me. I did get into fights and some of those I instigated but that was all. Something else is wrong with these people that do mass shootings. Gun owners should be keeping them away from unsupervised kids but also there needs to be counseling in place to catch the ones that are prone to violence before they do something. Even if you take every single gun out of circulation violent people will still do violence.
