Let’s try treating boys better.
It won’t completely eliminate them, but there would be a lot of societal benefits to it.

How many girlfriends did the gunman have?
Just this week, on Tuesday, using the handle lithium_love, he commented on a post titled “How many girlfriends have you had?” by saying “0. Never had anyone.” When pressed further by another user, he responded “Well, it means I’ve never been with anyone, no woman nor man (nor dog or animal or any other).” Then, on Wednesday, responding to a comment that he “must be saving himself for someone special,” he said, “Involuntarily so.” It was a day before the killings.
“He did not like his lot in life, and it seemed like nothing was going right for him,” a law enforcement official said, describing the writings found at the crime scene. “It’s clear he was in a very bad state of mind.”
You don’t say.
Obama likes to point to Australia as the Utopia of gun safety…..

SYDNEY — Oct 2, 2015, 11:14 PM ET
An Iranian teenager fatally shot a civilian member of Sydney’s police force in a killing that authorities believe is linked to terrorism, officials said Saturday.
The 15-year-old, who is of Iraqi-Kurdish background and was born in Iran, shot a New South Wales police finance worker with a handgun at close range as the man left work in the western Sydney suburb of Parramatta on Friday, police Commissioner Andrew Scipione said. The teen then fired at responding officers, who shot and killed him, Scipione said……………….
Too bad for Obama.
How many would have been saved if Chris Mintz had been armed with more than his bare hands?
In Switzerland everyone is armed and part of the national defensive force. In that heavily-armed nation there have been a grand total of TWO mass shootings, one in 2001 by a possibly mentally ill parliamentarian and another in 1912 by a man who was later found not guilty by reason of insanity. That’s it.
An armed society is a polite society.
