Mass Shootings-Why Do We Insist On Thinking Anything Can Be Done?

That system doesn't have squat to do with gun control. It's about protecting children from abuse, neglect, and being given the improper treatment because their information is ten different places.

Give it a damn rest. Take your bumper sticker solutions somewhere else for a while.

 

"Most" people?

Yes... Mr Nikolas Cruz, you should work and with your own money pay for your own treatment that includes us constantly pestering you to get better grades because "most" people who do this don't end up locked in an institution..

Great deal! How could any mentally disturbed teenager not take it!

Man! Think real world!

 

Just because you have insurance for your meds don't mean the rest of the world does.

 

That is precisely what we promised the South Vietnamese government we would do if the North violated the cease fire. A "ring of steel" around South Vietnamese territory.

Ironically though air power had been a disappointment for most of the Vietnam War, in 1975 when the North Vietnamese massed for their final attack on Seoul and other southern cities they presented precisely the kind of target that the USAF and USN had been hoping to hit for years. If the U.S. had lived up to its commitments and turned its B-52s loose on the North Vietnamese army, that army would've been annihilated. South Vietnam might well have held on for years. Perhaps all the way to the end of the Cold War.

 

When did you serve?

 

I was never in the military. Virtually all of the men in my family served at one time or the other. My dad (pictured in my avatar photo) served during the Korean War including 11 hard months of fighting near the 38th Parallel.

 

I thought it was you in the avatar. You can look at the picture and see that you're looking at a vet. If he's still with us, tell him thank you for me.

 

Just so everyone knows it will not reduce gun deaths

 

You need to explain that nugget a little better because I cannot make sense of your rationalisation at all.

 

Yep of course ... so dream your BS dream further and learn the same hard lessosn we learned before you wake up.

As told ... I want to see you defending some Jackass of US Muslim declaring Jihad to the USA to raise a caliphate in a public Demonstration and his cheering some hundred followers wavimg their legally bought AR-15 in the air for it.... defending them that they have the constitutional right of freedom of speech and 2. Amendment to do so ... THIS I WANT TO SEE!

 

OK, sorry ... but:

Without a gun control it will not work! The crux of the problem is the pervasive gun law in the US and unless you revise it, it's like treating only the symptoms of the disease, not the disease itself.

 

That I do not really want to see but the realisation this could be an outcome of insane gun policy

Now THAT I want to see............

 

Lol ... sorry, but if you won't understand English as English native, then don't blame non natives about their English grammar etc. if their words are uncomfortable for you.
Interesting that hundreds of other US People understood my post and this will raise up a strange question about your abilities, eh?

 

Really? OK, if cultural nonsense is above logical reason and that's your excuse (and your reproach to me), then I can make a simple shrug to the next school massacres which will come with no doubt, because you do not want to do anything meaningful in the US to prevent them.

 

I dont defent muslim jackasses I attack the things they say

But in America they are allowed to say them

 

Anyone in the US can seriously explain the civil war in preparatory speeches and annihilate the constitution, arming themselves for it legally ... but relevant and no longer protected by the Constitution is that only when they start firing?

But we in Europe are the idiots with state censorship restricting the Freedom of Speech? Lol ...

 

So everyone knows - Vegas giants has a problem with the truth AND many of my suggestions will be used in lawsuits filed by lawyers for victims of the Florida shooting as things that Florida should have been doing.

 

Thank you. But my dad died a year ago. He was 88.

 

That is totally absurd. NOBODY on this board nor any other... not even you has ever advocated for banning alcohol due to drunk drivers. NOBODY, not even you on this board has a thread here has advocated for banning cigarettes to save lives. Yet both of those practices are NOT protected, specifically, under the Constitution and both are more deadly than firearms. As a matter of FACT, five times more people will die this year from second hand smoke than by firearms.

Virtually every mass shooter in the United States is on SSRIs. NOBODY has attached any provision to investigate, research and limit SSRIs as part of any gun control bill. But, all of you want to attach gun control to the REAL ROOT of this problem, knowing full freaking well that the pro-gun lobby will then turn down any effort to prevent the Adam Lanzas and Nickolas Cruzs of this world.

People don't give a rat's ass about children - never have and never will. You need those statistics in order for your cause to remain relevant. If children were being treated and the numbers dropped, you would not have a pretext to try and control our Rights. The ONLY reason you're going to win is because gun owners won't get off their ass and be proactive. I'm beginning to think most of them are too stupid to understand that it would be easier to fight you here and now instead of waiting on the government to try and seize the weapons in this country.

 

Really? Huh. I'll type slower.
You believe taking away legally owned firearms will prevent school shootings as no one will have a gun to shoot up a school with.
This will never come to pass because our Constitution prevents the state from doing this.
Better?

 

The "disease" behind mass shootings in the US doesn't have anything to do with guns.

 

Um... whatever. Thanks.

 

A sobering message . . .

 

Everything I have posted is factually correct. Your suggestions have never ever been shown to reduce gun violence anywhere on this planet. Those are the facts folks.

 

I take offense at your suggestion that gun owners are stupid. I think most gun owners on here would agree with me on that.
