Keep pretending society doesn't need families. Keep pretended single motherhood is awesome. Keep yelling about toxic masculinity. Keep insisting little boys and girls are the same. Keep taking away spaces were boys can thrive with other boys and learn from each other. Keep thinking drag queens are great role models. Keep thinking pro sports athletes are great role models. Keep thinking boys don't need actual male role models. Oh.... and keep thinking we have a gun problem and see where it goes

This has been discussed before. When I went to school, there were several positive male role models. Ex-service guys, former athletes who wanted to teach, a teacher who was a Peace Corps volunteer that survived the poverty of rural Iran in the 1960s, a teacher who loved to hunt and was always being called in by the state police to gut and butcher road killed deer and elk for soup kitchens. Today, very few male teachers and I doubt you could get a tire change out of any of them.

Oregon State was known as the giant killers that year and was UW's big win in a 5-5 season
Washington won only two of its six home games; the notable victory was over the "Giant Killers" of Oregon State in the conference opener.[2] The Huskies had just one loss after five games,[3] but won only one of the last five.[4][5]
This was the last year for natural grass in Husky Stadium; AstroTurf was installed prior to the 1968 season.

Kids have been growing up with entitlement issues since the 80's. It's only gotten worse. When entitled people don't get their way, or feel shamed, they act out. Sometimes they act out in really horrible ways.
It's the environment and the people around them that create the monster, not the gun. If it was the gun, we'd have had school shootings regularly in the 50's, 60's, 70's, and 80's. We didn't because kids were raised better. plain and simple.

The self esteem movement that started in the 70s….then entitlement issues…now extreme narcissism. I remember going to an assembly in 1975 to listen to some people tell me how awesome I was. I felt embarrassed for them.
This is how you get a 19 year old to burst into tears, scream, and cuss out adults over Halloween costumes.

Kids brought guns to school in the 70's and 80's.
Pheasant hunting after school was a thing.

We had trap shooting in PE my senior year. Kept the shotguns in our lockers.
