RE: Why it's Not the Boys in the Above Picture Who Grow Up to be School Shooters

...are sexually frustrated and therefore more likely to go on shooting sprees.

I'm not sure if it makes them "more likely," but there is a pretty high correlation of that in mass killings. I'm not sure if it's the most prevalent cause, but it seems to be a popular contributing factor and part of the whole "outsider" or "marginalized" persona of many of these shooters.

...and a lack of appropriate gun control.
...and has access to guns

This is ancillary to the problem. As stated in my original comment above, mass murders are committed with a wide variety of tools, some of them not necessarily tangible. When mentally ill people have a desire to kill, they will find a way to do so, whether with a cargo truck, a knife, homemade bombs, a gun, or a shitty economic system that they force on a society.

We may disagree about the availability of certain tools, but I try to leave failed prohibition laws and policies at the door. Unless, of course, you are the target of the prohibition. :)

I never said ban guns, i said they - the mentally ill - have too much access to them.

Don't ban me. Who else would you make fun of?

So you want to ban mentally ill people? You’re a monster!
