You think people do crime because they're bored? It usually because they need to survive or provide for their families in a capitalist dystopia, because they are discriminated or because they lack appropriate physical mental health supports. Often, the three a the same time.
This is a good point, but school shootings. School shootings are a type of terrorist attack that accomplishes nothing except killing innocent children. This is why they won't do anything about it. Conservative values are more important to conservatives than protecting children. If terrorists ever decide to start attacking corporations or government installations, guns are getting banned 5 seconds later even if both the senate and house are loaded with Republicans.
The Republicans will flip on gun control eventually. Kind of surprised Jan 6 didn't get things rolling tbh.
To be fair there was a mass shooting at YouTube HQ
I'd do a crime out of boredom.
