I’m 52. Guess what we had and didn’t have when I was a kid.
Plenty of guns, and even laxer laws (excepting conceal carry!).
No mass shootings.
To be fair, I should include the mental health thing. I remember watching MTv as a teen in the late 80’s and they made a big thing of homelessness. I figured it had always been an issue but people ignored it and, as a kid, I was just then finding out.
Yeah, turns out we shut down our mental health centers. Probably a correlation there.
