Solution is for the mainstream media to STOP PUBLICIZING THIS CRAP. I’m not advocating for censorship. I’m arguing for a gentleman’s agreement to give this kind of lunacy a passing mention vs putting it on a 24-hour news cycle and using it to gain attention and push agendas.
It’s well-known that media attention promotes copycats.[/quote]

Again, just ignore the elephant in the room and blame everything else.
We’ve already blamed videogames, psychiatrists, bullies, parents, being godless, too much medications, being off medications, media, the government, even not enough good guys with guns.
But plenty of countries have much much lower death from gun violence despite being godless, despite having videogames, despite having populations that shun psychiatric care, despite taking the same meds, despite having the same medication non-compliant problem.
And please remember the former penal colony of Australia has much lower gun death and incarceration rate than us, so it isn’t in our genes either.
