  1. most of all people in America must get together with powerful plans against gun violence which are . . .
    nobody can stop them.

  2. Anyone on pharmaceutical drugs.
    CIA MK ultra programs
    FBI surveillance on individuals
    MsM yellow journalism fueling radicals.
    FB algorithms feeding negative emotions on individual feeds
    IG algorithms
    TikTok algorithms
    State ran schools and colleges indoctrination programs

    Did I miss anything?

  3. What about not having glass doors entrances at the schools to start ! She blasted those glass doors to get inside the building. Glass breaks and is not safe ! And physical barriers works ! Let go of conveniences for more safety for the kids

  4. Easy. Close down the Guns Factory, Guns shops. Go into every house in America and take people guns away.
    Then, Make a law that it's is a crime to have any type of guns.

  5. How does this happen? GUN USAGE

  6. Doesn't matter. Without background checks, we can't do anything about tracking them. If you are law abiding, you don't have to worry about background checks – something would have immediately got flagged when buying 7 guns in like 2 days. But no. We can't even have the basics. It's because of that refusal to just have basic protections, that now I'm for banning assault rifles and AR-whatevers. I'm done. Someone runs on that platform, I'm voting for it.

  7. A$KING THE GOP FOR $OLUTION$ IS LIKE ASKING EL CHAPO TO PROVIDE DRUG COUNSELING

  8. One obvious warning sign that you might be the victim of a mass shooting is if you live in the United States

  9. Nobody asks why America is creating so many mass murderers.

  10. Really? A book plugin? 🤮

  11. Schools are banning books, depicting classical art as pornography but taking guns away from citizens to protect children is violation of another's rights.

  12. Warning sign one: a fixation on msm

  13. prayers for the victims & love one's, smh https://youtu.be/_WGFoxh2xt0

  14. Schools should be hard targets not soft targets.
    Take the armed guards away from anti gun politicians and put them at schools.

  15. She said days like today following a mass shooting but every day is following a mass shooting .

  16. Your country was built by killing 19 million Native Americans (According to American Experience-PBS). Your country got rich by killing millions in Latin America (ex: Banana War, coups, etc), Middle East (War, coup in Iran and Iraq, etc) and Asia (Philippine Vietnam, etc and coups). You are the most violent country and violent people among OECD nations.
    “Reap what you sow”

  17. Why don't warning signs assist the police before a mass shooting?

  18. A lot of the most recent ones were all suffering from gender dysphoria. Otherwise known as transsexuals. Exactly what is being pushed on the kids in America. Has nothing to do with guns and everything to do with mental disorders.

  19. It is ridiculous to blame the tool instead of the perpetrator.
    The current political and medical systems don't help mentally ill individuals one bit.
    Unsecured gun free zones only help the perp by creating defenseless victims.
    If a place wants to be a gun free zone, it must provide security at every entry point.
    If a senator's daughter attended this gun free school there would have been security at every entry point and this mentally ill individual wouldn't have gotten past the sidewalk.

  20. another me me me trans with no empathy for others

  21. This topic has been talking in the media for 1 million times since the Constitution was passed to the street people.

  22. Lol funny too many guns 🔫 It's your constitutional right to take up arms against innocent people." get rid of the guns.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

  23. "It's easier to fool people than it is to convince them they've been fooled."

  24. "Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock was quite the fan of President Donald Trump…" "Cesar Sayoc was a Trump fan before the president's entry into politics…" "1,003 Trump supporters have been arrested in the Capitol insurrection so far…"

  25. How to spot a potential mass shooter? THEY OWN ASSAULT RIFLES!!!!!!!!!!

  26. Wow this interesting. A lot of praying has to go in the world. I’m praying for the people

  27. They don’t know their gender should be added to the list I’d say. Gender dysphoria is after all a mental illness.

  28. She was mentally ill. The signs were all over the wall. For God's sake She thought She was a Man. That is a mental illness🤔

  29. How to spot a potential mass shooter? Well, just keep an eye out for transgender people that are shooting down your glass doors, that should be enough!

  30. To Much Video Game's AND Movie's.

  31. More hate and violence from "prog ressive" extremists

  32. Warn your children of this evil world, tell them about Christ, insulate them from the evil LGBTQ agenda, teach them that God's word is truth and that He "created them male and female"…(Genesis 1:27)…! Absolute truth is the foundation of a healthy upbringing for children, unfortunately the government of the US has turned it's back on God's truth and replaced it with lies while simultaneously legislating immoral agendas, children need to be brought up in God's word…!!!

  33. Wait where all the teachers with the guns the Republicans SAID WOULD PROTECT OUR children 😂😅🎉

  34. Go Google the district leader standing with his disgusting family on a Christmas card all holding AR-15s 🖕

  35. LOL, FOX News said all recent shooters were all done by sexual confused gamers.

  36. The most important sign of a potential mass shooter ,he is a gun owner !

  37. First sign is that their transgender

  38. Warning sign is mental illness and the person that did it was Trans. There it is.

  39. How about stopping bullying in school? This individual went to this school and had an agenda against it. Determine what happened to them during their education and work to remedy that.

  40. what I go by is.
    1. Are they white?

    thats it.

  41. Just stop. Take the assault rifles or no dice.

    We don't need more protection, you can't protect us, they can make do with handguns and hunting rifles. Enough.

  42. The biggest warning sign that you might be caught up in a mass shooting is that you live in Amerikkka.

  43. small price to pay for having the right to have a well armed militia for when those pesky british naval fleets come-a-knockin' again …

  44. Repeal the 2nd Amendment and you don't have to spot a pregnant kite in flight

  45. Our increasingly Godless, Post-Modern, society is mass-producing mental illness.

  46. By training teachers to spot them and giving them the arms to stop them, in their desks.. behind biometric locks in a safe so deep in the desk no student would have any business even touching the exterior much less having a chance to get it open….. that's how you do it.. you train teachers up as SROs after stringent vetting and excellent training then if something goes down you got an army of cops right there to deal with it on campus.. you can't legislate evil out of existence.. but you can pull it up at the root..
