The affect of guns verbaly, physically, and though tv

Today’s children are more and more likly to act wih violence due to video games and the violent movies, but then that leads back to the way they were raised. In today’s world, both parents are working, there is no family time to teach, to learn, to love and to be able to deal with problem by talking it out. If parents don't show children love and that they are cherished, how can that child grow up and show love to any other person? When you don't care if the person in front of you, beside you, and in back of you lives or dies, it is pretty easy to pull a trigger.  There Also issue of mental illness. Most mass shooters have severe mental illness that could have been treated prior to anyone being shot. Access to mental health treatment is only available to people with money. So a combination of things are causing young people too helpless in our money-driven society.  I believe the most influencing factor is the widespread use of drugs like Xanax, and other anti- psychotic, or mood-altering prescription drugs. It was not until their use became so popular in the mid-80's that we started to see these horrific shootings. And most every shooter has been on some kind of prescription drug. It is a combination of pop culture influences and the decline in parenting and family values. Video games train to kill and parents are too busy in their own life to care. There is no understanding or respect for another life and an unrealistic sense of entitlement so they solve problems with a gun just like they have for years in the games.  Nature of the beast: some people have poor social skills and will be violent, no matter what the weapon.  The news airing these mass shootings and making statements like "this is the biggest shooting yet.” The sick people want to top that and have the largest body count.
