The solution to mass killers

https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/motivation-mass-shooters-decide-to-kill-out-of-a-quest-for-significance/   explains the mental illness which leads to mass shooting incidents.  Which is why the Some Asshole Theory (AKA Media Responsibility Theory) needs acceptance and use.   Here's a brief explanation , from the very liberal The Daily Kos. Dr. Dean Ing, a media studies academic and adventure novelist, explains it in better detail on page 110 in his superb SOFT TARGETS , also available on Inter Library Loan . (Just ask your local librarian). "It boils down to two points: We turn every act of terrorism into a joke at the terrorist's expense;  and we absolutely must refuse, ever again, to do a straight report on their motives in connection with an act of terrorism." "The medium can give coverage to the event, sympathetic to the victims, but we must deride the (murderers) as a bunch of (witless fools)"  With more guns in America than people, do you really  thi

THE COUNTRY WITH 40% OF THE WORLD’S FIREARMS COMMITS LESS THAN 4% OF THE WORLD’S HOMICIDES

THE COUNTRY WITH 40% OF THE WORLD’S FIREARMS COMMITS LESS THAN 4% OF THE WORLD’S HOMICIDES by Kevin Ryan When a new study came out finding that America is home to 40% of the world’s firearms, the media had a field day. “America has 40% of the world’s guns, despite having just 4% of the world’s population!” blared headlines across to country. What the media left out, however, is that, despite having so many firearms, Americans commit just 3.7% of the world’s homicides. The data (2014): World Population: 7,298,453,033 U.S. Population: 318,857,056 (4.4% of world total) World Homicides: 384,553 U.S. Homicides: 14,249 (3.7% of world total) In other words, Americans commit just 3.7% of the world’s murders, despite having 4.4% of the world’s population and 40% of the world’s firearms — further evidence that other factors, NOT gun ownership, are responsible for homicide rates. But that headline doesn’t play into the media’s gun control narrative, which is why you didn’t see it. SOURCES: ht

Vikings left Greenland because of an 11' rise in sea level, under six centuries ago. https://www.livescience.com/agu-floods-drove-vikings-from-greenland And, sea level is rising again. https://www.france24.com/en/video/20230420-arctic-amplification-climate-change-diminishing-sea-ice-raising-temperatures-at-alarming-rate https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/ice-sheets-in-greenland-antarctica-melting-faster-than-previously-thought-research-shows What will that do to Naples? Just one meter drowns Four Corners, the water treatment plant, and the airport, making the town uneconomical:               The hospital is partially underwater at two meters (6.5') sea level rise.   At 11', goodbye Port Royal, Royal Harbor, Naples High, and most of the Moorings.
