I don't give two shits about what the fuck is going on in Macedonia.
The mall where this shooting took place is somewhere my daughter and granddaughter could have been.
You used to just be a pest. Now you are a pain in the ass.
I am sorry, but, in order to solve the problem of mass shootings, we need to properly diagnose it. It doesn't make sense to blame mass shootings on lax gun laws if mass shootings are more common in places with much stricter gun control, such as Macedonia or Norway.

Which tells me that Macedonia and Norway need MORE restrictive gun laws.

Okay, let's diagnose it. What do the mass shooting problems in macedonia, norway, and the us have in common?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Quote:There is a common misperception amplified by mainstream media and government officials that people “go crazy” or enter some altered state of consciousness and start shooting. Rather, executing murderous plots such as mass shootings at schools, grocery stores, places of worship, and public events requires a mind that is lucid and capable of producing rational thought, planning, and logical cognitive processing.

A madman with a gun, obviously. Now, how they get their gun is another question. In the US, as far as I know, basically around 50% of mass shooters get their guns legally and the other 50% get them illegally. Now, how it is in Macedonia and Norway, I don't know.
Andrija Drežnjak, the shooter of the mass shooting in Đakovo in 2019, allegedly bought his gun on the black market. I have no idea whether guns on the black market here in Croatia are manufactured legally or illegally.
Kosta Kečmanović allegedly stole the gun from his father, who got his gun legally.

You claimed that people with a diagnozed mental illness should not be allowed to have guns because they are significantly more likely to commit a mass shooting, right? Well, the evidence does not support that.

If most mass shooters there get their guns on a black market, and those guns are produced illegally, more restrictive gun laws obviously won't help. I suspect that's the case, although I don't have hard data confirming that.

So, mass shootings are more likely to be done by people with no aberrant mental processes? This means that Safir Ahamdi Musthaveanibble who shoots up a dozen Israeli schoolchildren because he believes that will create a Palestinian homeland is a perfectly sane, rational person.
Think it through, whydoancha?
