YouTube and Reddit are sued for allegedly enabling the racist mass shooting in Buffalo that left 10 dead::The complementary lawsuits claim that the massacre in 2022 was made possible by tech giants, a local gun shop, and the gunman’s parents.

The village (community/lack of community) makes the villains. Everyone's a problem. We are all to blame.

That. Or, just spitballing here, it’s the guns.

Not saying something shouldn't be done or not done with the gun situation. But I believe it's the community driving these kids to want a gun to kill people. Gun laws are just one part of many problems that are a part of our broken community. I guess the guns are a result of a broken community is part of what I mean. Banning guns alone in my eyes is an extremely over simplified bandaid fix. Tbh these days I see the gun debate as crooked politics just trying to get votes... They want that free publicity.

Edit: a politician is never going to speak negatively about the general community. They can't, it would kill their career. I think that's a big problem in why nothing changes. Politics is money and business it's like gang life for white collars

I’m not even sure what you mean when you say community, or who’s part of it.

No problem. It's hard to talk about this stuff with out generalizing. I'm at work I can't really get into it.
