“When I was a kid, we had shooting clubs at our school.” “There’s never been a time in America, in the history of humanity, where people walk into a crowd or a church or a movie theater or a school and just start randomly shooting.” “Something changed, and it dramatically changed human behavior.”
I corroborate this. In my school, the first day of deer season was a holiday (and still is). Teachers brought their guns to school. We had guns and played and hunted with them in the woods. As kids. Everybody knew we were doing this. Nobody worried, nobody was shot.
Guns are harder to get now than then. It is therefore not guns causing shootings. People do the shooting, not guns. Guns don’t shoot.
Another young man, addled and ruined by years of drugs and treatments by doctors and Experts has shot up yet another group of kids. Those doctors and Experts missed, and chose to ignore, the madness of their patient (this is remarkably disturbing reading, so do not click unless you are prepared). Worse, they aided and abetted his insanity. They told him his insanity was normal. They were, by their own admission, his allies.
They ought to be made to pay for their crimes.
Many after the bloodshed, aided and abetted and indirectly caused by doctors and Experts, called for prayer for the victims and families. This is well. But pray first for the downfall, ruin, confusion and conversion of the doctors and Experts behind transanity. Transanity: that which is beyond sanity.
(Some, sodomized one too many times, and in their hatred of Reality, called for people not to pray at all.)
You will recall earlier this year the Supreme Court in the UK, shocking all (me included), ruled that sex as used in the UK’s Equality Act of 2010 in Scotland referred to a person’s sex, and not to any fantasy or make believe or doctor-and-Expert-defined category to evade Reality.
This good, and sane, news was not cheered by all. Indeed, a large number universities, the home and nesting ground of Experts and doctors, announced publicly that they were “dismayed” by the ruling. These gate-keeping degree-awarding Experts said:
We reject the framing in the media and in public discourse that puts women, and/or feminists, at odds with trans people. This is especially the case in relation to the inclusion of trans women in women’s spaces. Womanhood is lived; it is not biologically given or legally bestowed.
This is not sane. It is not lucid. It is pure Fantasy. Yet it is taught. Initiates in the Ceremony of the Degree must swear they embrace the Fantasy. Why are you sending your children to be awarded “degrees”?
Early in the summer the American Supreme Court, in US v. Skrmetti, ruled that a Tennessee law banning child mutilation and drugging in service to transanity was legal. (The Court’s DIE hires voted against it, of course.)
Doctors and Experts reacted as if they were shown a crucifix. The American Academy of Pediatrics put out a blubbering statement which said Fantasy-affirming care was necessary. Affirming. Their word.
They said “Gender-affirming care is medically necessary for treating gender dysphoria and is backed by decades of peer-reviewed research, clinical experience, and scientific consensus.”
This is proof positive that peer-reviewed research, clinical experience, and scientific consensus as guides to knowledge and morality are bullshit. There is no better word.
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (before the shooting): “We have sued Trump for gender affirming care. We are not going to scapegoat the transgender community.”
Doctors and Experts do not, or should not, get to decide what treatments to give any person. This may sound alien to you. But I mean it not just for transanity, but in any malady. Has the covid panic taught us nothing? Doctors, I have warned us many times, do not gain a moral conscience by memorizing the names of bones. They are not imbued with ethical greatness by learning how to fill out insurance reimbursement forms.
And, when not otherwise tittering about “climate change” or DIE, when they have publicly stated, as these and many, many others have, that Fantasy is superior to Reality because they say so, then we are right to see that they are removed from any chance of contact with the public.
Doctors are body mechanics. No more.
Like auto mechanics, there are good and bad ones. Ethical and moral ones and Unethical and immoral ones. Those who boost Fantasy over Reality are unethical and immoral. And ignorant. Willfully ignorant. They have come to believe that because a government has awarded them a license, they are free to do what they will. Which, for them, shall be the whole of the law.
These menaces must be stopped. They must be punished.

“When People Cease To Believe in God, They Do Not Then Believe in Nothing, But in Anything.”
–G.K. Chesterton.
Amen
In a comment I posted, a year or two ago, I called pro-sex change parents; “Munchausen mommy’s and daddy’s taking their kiddys for a vacation on the island of Dr. Moreau” (or something like that).
That pathology is (was?) actually known as; Munchausen by proxy. What you describe today might be called “Munchausen by proxy, by proxy”.
This is of course a complicated topic, but here are the causes I’ve observed for the school shooting phenomenon:
1.) Glorification of school shooters. This is done by the media painting them as terrifying and coldly calculating criminals, rather than losers who sought out soft targets because they knew they’d be stopped if they started things anywhere else. If you dig into the backgrounds of school shooters, the majority of them will idolize the Columbine shooters, as well as their own personal favorite groups of later shooters. I firmly believe that if things had been reported in a different way, Columbine would have just been a fluke. But of course normal people don’t react this way, which leads us to…
2.) The breakdown of society. Through the early 90’s this was a Christian nation. Certainly not everyone was a strong believer, that had been the case since the beginning of the nation. But it was an assumed background that the vast majority of people had, and even apostates formed their worldview from Christian principles. This eroded in the late 90’s and we are to the point now where large swaths of children are less familiar with the Bible than a random salaryman in Japan would be. Not unrelated to this, the US was largely a high-trust society through the early 90’s. There were bad crime areas, but in most of the country you knew your neighbors, interacted with them frequently, and could rely on them in times of trouble. The very idea of neighbors as anything other than a nuisance and a threat is foreign to most of modern America. What this means is that when teenagers and young men are struggling, they often have no ethical foundation to build from and no network to support them. So they wander aimlessly, and a chunk of them will latch onto the idea that if their lives are worthless, maybe they can at least get some notoriety like previous school shooters did.
3.) Obviously not every school shooter was trans, but a growing number of them are. This movement just exacerbates the problems from 2. It’s really easy for teens and young me to fall into the transgender movement, since it acts like a cult complete with active recruiting, lovebombing, a requirement to cut yourself off from your family, etc. Cults have always been attractive to the desperate and the lost. But this one is particularly nefarious. Rather than claim that you will reach future salvation by contacting aliens or reaching another plane of existence or whatever, they claim that you will be happy by “transitioning.” But the ones pushing the most strongly for this have already done it, are well aware that they have not actually transitioned to the opposite sex, and that their lives are more of a mess than ever. Through what is probably a literally demonic despair, they then devote their lives to making others as miserable as possible, which includes recruiting more into their movement.
So if you have a man who is confused and dissatisfied with his life, he can easily be tempted by an online community of people who manipulate him into thinking that all of his problems are because he’s a man, and who heap loads of praise on him (but only when he considers “transitioning.”) If he goes along with this, he ends up with all of his social relationships ruined, his body mutilated, none of his problems solved, and a host of neuroses on top of what he started with. The cultists who convinced him to do this no longer care at all, since their only goal was to score another soul for their cult. But if he even expresses regret they will do everything they can to make him suffer, and they are now the only people who will talk to him. Someone in this situation has three options: A.) Try to make the best of what is possible by restoring as much as he can of a normal life, while he recognizes that he’s screwed things up so much that it will be a challenge to even get to anything resembling where he was when this all started. B.) Fully devote himself to the cult and try to get as many people to suffer like he is or C.) Completely despair. The trans shooters are the ones that go down road C.
I have long suspected that the most dangerous members of society are those who view themselves as victims.
@Rudolph Harrier: do you mind if I copy-paste your comment wholesale, with a URL pointing back here, to a random online forum about computer nerdery?
Briggs, they are already confused, no need to pray for that! Unless you meant to pray to throw the enemy lines and their tactics into confusion and disarray, which will not be enough, they have no strategy, they are tripping their way everywhere they go, that’s the only plan, to take everything down with them!
Such stupidity should be punished! And the punishment should be excruciatingly brutal in such a way that they will beg to be shot by the same firearms they banned! But we shall not give in to their pleas!
Come to Jesus Christ. He will help you solve your problems.
God bless, C-Marie
Excellent essay Mr Briggs.
People do not seem to understand that Evil never stops – inch by inch it proceeds with its destructive plan, The grand error to legitimize homosexuality was a major accomplishment for the demons. The Transinsanity is merely another step to their goal of hell on earth. Let us not even speak of how they rejoice at the savage murder of babies in the womb by the billion.
May the Almighty have Mercy on us.
When I was eight my dad gave me a .22 rifle for my birthday. He also taught me how to be responsible with it. Throughout junior high school and high school, in the late 1960s, I knew quite a few other boys who had rifles. When I was sixteen I bought myself a 12-gauge shotgun. There were very few gun laws, and I could walk into any hardware, sporting goods, or gun store and buy ammunition. There were no school shootings, no mass shootings of any kind, or if there were, they were extraordinarily rare. It just wasn’t a thing, then. Since guns and ammo have become increasingly difficult to obtain since that time, the increase in mass shootings is obviously not because of guns or insufficient gun laws. It’s clear that the change is in people.
hudbwu,
I’ve always viewed internet comments as inherently public. So do as you will. If I was worried about the things I said spreading over the internet, I wouldn’t be posting them with this name in the first place.

You say, “Doctors are body mechanics. No more.” A conventional mechanic, say an automobile mechanic, treats something of a different kind than himself. Were it possible, a doctor treating a patient as a body mechanic would be analogous to a car treating a car. A doctor treats a patient as someone who also has a body. That is why the doctor-patient relationship was more than a matter of competence but also included trust and empathy. It meant that the doctor treatment could be informed by his having a body similar to a patient. He didn’t (until recently) just pop up the hood to see what’s inside. We have by perverse effort, done as much as we can to make this the predominant paradigm for medical treatments but it is to the loss of all patients and, i believe, actually leads to grotesque abuses such as “gender affirming care” of which, we know here, there is no such thing.

Don’t forget the University of Texas “Tower Shooting”. It’s not like mass shootings never happened, but they were very rare and put down as quickly as possible. Of course, “shot while trying to escape” also made many court trials shorter than they could be and took out the randomness factor…
I see one significant change in society: wishing ill on others has become more acceptable. Why is that? The reasons are likely complicated.
If you believe that transgender people have mental health challenges, why not approach them with more sympathy instead of constantly condemning them? They didn’t commit the crime of mass shooting.
Blaming doctors implies that transgender individuals are incapable of making their own decisions. Some may want to place the blame on the parents in the cases of young adults. I haven’t experienced the parents’ struggles; I will refrain from blaming them.
Transgender people identify as such because they understand the biological differences between males and females. They find themselves in a desperate situation, whether due to genetic or environmental factors, or to internal struggle or external pressure from society. I don’t understand why people struggle to accept themselves and others as they are. However, transgender people certainly don’t deserve the mistreatment they receive from certain segments of society.
Showing kindness to all people is truly the best approach, not just because the Dalai Lama said so.
