141 posts....still nothing from the liberals on a law that would have prevented this tragedy.
Safe to say there is no law that could have prevented this? |

So, what do you all feel should be done, if anything about the gun issue specifically regarding crimes of this nature?

I went boating the very next day with EG and lost them all. He will swear to it as well.

I think there should be a free program to train people that want to CCW. They don't have to have arrest powers. But, properly trained, and in the right place at the right time, might be able to stop or limit something like this. If anyone tries to harm me or my family. I will fight back to the last breath in my body. I will not be a victim without putting up one hell of a fight.
Video games...I remember when Duke Nukem and others came out. You shoot and all you see are some red pixels. You are disconnected from the reality of death. I play Medal of Honor...I know it is far from reality. I think some of these people don't feel or know the difference from a game and real life. They don't feel compassion, sadness, sorrow, etc...like the rest of us. Their victims are just like the characters in a game in their mind. I agree with others that it is a mental health problem. People that were around these shooters had to of known something wasn't right with them. |

I don't believe there is a "gun issue" regarding crimes of this nature. This was a mental health issue that went unresolved.
But, it servers as a perfect back drop to further the Democratic agenda, unfortunately. Making political hay off the death of children...but they'll get a pass on doing it. |

The fact is Gun control does not work. If you look at the facts you will find that places like NH where the gun laws are very relaxed has a much lower crime rate than Chicago where they are effectively banned. It's not about ACCESS to guns. its about the culture of the people who get them and use them. Over 6000 blacks are murdered each year. The vast majority of them by other Blacks. Crime is endemic in their population due to cultural issues. Not race or other factors. We talk about these 28 unfortunate souls taken by a mad man. Yet NO ONE is addressing the fact that over 6000 blacks are killed each year predominantly due to the Single mother culture supported by the Welfare state. http://www.cato.org/publications/con...-state-crime-0 Quote:

ok, i've stayed pretty quiet, but now i have some thoughts.
regarding the discussion of this being a problem with 'mental health'. just how do you propose we find all these people? and once found, what do we do with them? having just a few friends, being interested in mechanical things and guns, being a quiet introvert....none of these are crimes, nor a reason to medicate or confine someone. do you really want some govt paid shrink to determine your fate because you don't neatly fit in the round hole they have planned for you? not me. if you go down this road, you may as well hang it up. they have already won, just a matter of waiting for the van to come by and pick you up. |

I checked into it in my county. $80.00. Why do they really need $80 ? If you knew some of the stupid things they have done/doing here with tax money. The fat clerks, sitting on their ass at the courthouse, will still get paid with or without me applying. I think it's just another way to gouge money out of people for them to waste on stupid projects.
I also think that ANYONE that carries should be properly trained or experienced. We have a fantastic (tax payer funded)law enforcement training range (some of it computer simulated) and live fire range. It is off-limits to the public. Why not have a free program to properly teach people how to handle and fire a handgun ? Especially, if they are CCW. The hardware is there and the instructors are still getting paid if they are eating donuts or training the public. There is no extra expense to the county or gov. |

We're already compromised.
Can you tell me how anything you have proposed would have possibly resulted in any of the recent mass shootings being prevented, or the damage lessened? Because I can provide plenty of evidence that mass shootings take place mostly in "gun free zones." I can provide plenty of evidence that the highest murder rates can almost exclusively be found in cities that ban guns/concealed carry. We've already compromised on our 2nd amendment rights and, in turn, our safety. Everything you propose will make a bunch of people feel better, but will only affect those that obey they laws and will prevent nothing. |
