I'm not a professional. I don't know how to implement positive change that would increase prevention of such incidents. That's why we have politicians and lawmakers; that's their job.
You're right. It's obvious you're not a professional. However teh puma doesn't see it as typically troublesome to ask someone to outline/describe what they mean by "prevention" when they intentionally draw away from what is normally looked on as a good act of courage ect.... Those people normally have something to back up their causes, but apparently that is too much to ask?
We need proper safety checks to make sure mentally unstable people don't have access to firearms. Logistically, I'm not sure how we could institute that. We also need to have a serious national discussion about access to mental health care. Nobody who is mentally stable shoots up a mall/school/temple/movie theater.
And teh puma can at least agree with that.
edit: Well look at that, apparently that is already in place.
