But ultimately a weapon can be used for a recreational and generally speaking non-harmless way, and on the contrary, can be used to fabricate these horrendous school shootings. To use a extreme analogy, in the UK crimes are taking place with butter knives, the most unconventional and innocent utensils can be used for these atrocities.

Many times, these problems are created in the early ages and cause issues later on in life. Also, mental illnesses also hold a role in this system of issues. Depression is a good example in hereditary mental illnesses. In which doctors provided information on the presence of a gene that increases the likelihood of getting depression. Once again, people with these issues are subject to difficulties in rational decision making. A possible and simple way of aiding people with these problems could be implement and regulate school p...
