Let gun victims speak

[GandD 5,966]

I think every classroom should be armed with a bazooka and trained mercenary personnel.

Schools would be protected, gun lovers can keep their guns, and our children can become less educated because they will be too focused on the gun totters in school.

Sounds like a good plan. All aboard say "aye."

Aye. Although I'd prefer several bazookas.

Gary's fiddle case has an interesting surprise inside:

I don't think you're supposed to put the bullets in your mouth.

This made me laugh. A lot.

He has also played you since he got you to post in his thread.

Gary runs the world folks. I saw a Vermont license plate in the parking lot this morning so I'm on high alert.

That's just not true. You want to believe it to further an argument that laws are useless so we shouldn't make more because it doesn't stop criminals. An idea that has been fed to you.

The navy yard shooter got a gun legally. Nancy Lanza got her arsenal legally, and died by it.

The navy shooter had clearance and he was not reported.. so all the check anti gun folks have been recommending would not had done a single thing as he was never reported.

Nancy Lanza did not shoot herself and she was not the shooter.

So a mandatory mental health evaluation before he was allowed to purchase the guns he used would not have worked?

Perhaps they just need to add the question to the Federal form, "Do you hear voices coming from the walls?"

Who would have done such test?

Have you ever purchased one?

...Right...

So maybe we should concoct fair laws that would have prevented the mentally disturbed man with a checkered past from getting a weapon. What we have is not enough.

Nancy Lanza was a prepper and bought an arsenal of guns and played with them with her mentally ill son. Maybe we should concoct laws that would require her to lock her guns up, or limit the amount of assault weapons she could own, for example.

What about the guy in Colorado in the movie theatre? He obtained his gun legally but he also ordered a bazillion bullets or something online. Maybe we could develop laws that would signal an alert message when someone does that, to get checked out. That person was also deranged and his therapist sent reports to authorities that were not acted on. Maybe we could streamline a system where reports like that are taken seriously.

I believe there is are answers to this problem that would allow hobbyists and hunters to own and use guns that would also help prevent mass shootings. If we save just one life with new legislation, then it is worth it.

Mental health issues need to be addressed as well, and we should be working toward a solution that is fair to patients and protects the rest of the population.

Why don't you want to help save a life?

I don't know, maybe the guy at the local Quickie Mart?

Did you really just ask that question?

Don’t hate me coz you don’t have answer to my question.

Who do you think should do the mental health exam?
