So now gun owners should be responsible for paying for mental health programs, because you have a hobby that in not associated with guns, wow some logic there.
I am dealing with the realities of the culture we live in. We have a high rate of violent crime, the police have been defended and the responsibility for defending ourselves and our families is ours.
yes in fact he might have been able to do even better if he had placed each shot instead of spraying, remember he had accumulated several guns, it takes very little time to load a bolt action rifle and even with minimal reloading killing 60 people using 12 preloaded rifles is quite possible for a well trained marksman. Just another thought it likely would have taken the police much longer to locate him if he was not spraying lead. So once again attempting to blame the AR 15 is not valid.
I am not certain that people who go on shooting sprees obtain the guns legally, why do you think that?
maybe, but it is so easy to buy guns on the street, for $50 I can buy a gun that I would pay $500 retail so I do not think it would keep guns out of the hands of people who want to kill people. BUT what does work, when a person goes to court for using a gun in a crime, if they were held in jail instead of being released without bond and then given a serious prison time instead of reducing the charge to a misdemeanor and again putting the person back on the street, in other words if the criminal justice system protected the public instead of protecting the criminal we would experience far less violence.
This category has overlaps with the 'Postal' condition of a temporarily warped, situational perception.
First person shooter games glorify weapons of mass killings.
A message of strong deterrence from using all weapons designed for mass murders, would cover both legal and illegally obtained weapons.
"The majority of all mass public killers (some studies estimate as many as two-thirds) likely suffered from a serious mental illness prior to their attacks, and often displayed clear signs of delusional thinking, paranoia, or irrational feelings of oppression associated with conditions such as schizophrenia and bipolar-related psychosis."
where is the logic in what you are saying, do you honestly think that if you tell a violent criminal to not get involved with any weapons capable of mass murder, that your message is going to make any difference at all to him? now on the other had if your message is that all crimes committed with gun will result in a minimum 10 year term in prison, no exceptions, no plea deals, no early releases that might hold some water.
well I guess if you say so, you must have some evidence so, post it.
This is a serious subject but have your fun. If the criminal justice system actually worked as it was designed mandatory minimums might have some impact.
What blows me away is that you'd even think that a crackdown on crime wouldn't accompany what I said.
