In the 1950s there was much less gun control, yet now we have much more gun violence, particularly among youth. Why is that?

Lots of things were different in the 1950’s
Some of it better some of it worse than the way we live today.

The complicated combination of consequences is impossible to untangle strand by strand, but it’s a great place to hide when you are trying to avoid solutions to today’s problems.

You tell us what you think is the single thing that’s different.

What has been the increase of the general population since the 195os? There has not been an increase in guns per person.

Very simplistic....Availability of most products has increased....But you'll ignore that because it doesn't suit your agenda :rollseyes:

Ever considered that it's a breakdown in society?.... :oyvey

Half the 300,000,000 guns in the US are owned by 3% of population. Every notice how these mass murderers have lots more guns than they can use? It is an insight into the mentality.

By the way, check your facts before choosing a title for your topic.

There were no mass shootings, there were shootings.

That does not alter the availability factor.

Yes. And as availability of "most products" increases so does their use by the public and depending on the product , their abuse.

While firearm homicides are a major cause for concern, suicide by firearm makes up almost two-thirds of all gun-related deaths in the U.S. In fact, the number of firearm homicides has been on a general decline since 1993, while firearm-related suicides have increased in recent years.

Guns don’t get thrown out. They just add up and add up.

Keep posting this all up. I’m not one to differentiate between what guns are used for.
All,of it boils down to killing for some reason or other.
Not so fun fact.... suicides by gun often take innocents along for the ride.

There weren't "zero school shootings in the 1950s", there were 17 to 21, depending on start and end dates, and whether you count one incident that started in school, but ended outside as a "school shooting"

Thread fail.

There were fewer causalities overall probably because of the type of weapons used (fewer rounds) so 1 or 2 at a time, vs 10 or more and because the school population then was only about 40% of what it is now -- fewer people, fewer crimes, even with the same rate.

You are committing the same fallacy that we saw earlier. Going by number of events rather than events per 1000 people.

So it has nothing to do with a breakdown in society?....

Inner city crime, especially in black neighborhoods wasn't nearly as bad as it was today. I'm putting a lot of the blame on the War on Poverty which basically destroyed the black family unit and created generational poverty. There's also a general decline in discipline and mutual respect. Today we have smaller families, children are selfish and showered with material goods. They can't accept it when they aren't the center of attention. They can't even accept losing so we quit keeping score. I would also put a lot of blame on violent video games and social media. In general all too many young people can't cope so they explode into a violent rage. The other reoccurring questions is where were the parents?

I agree....An open and shut breakdown in society....Now if only some of our resident Leftist's will bless us with the comments....My guess is they'll keep dodging.... :rollseyes:
