Obama just said it himself. No law can stop people from doing what they are determined to do and in a way Im happy to hear him recognize that because that will help us get to the heart of the real problem. That's been my point this entire time. Ban assault weapons, or even a blanket ban on all firearms and it will not fix the real problem. The problem is crazy people who are neglected and not receiving the help they need.
There is info getting out that this kid was troubled, isolated, threw tantrums often, people around him knew it, and his own brother cut contact with him 2 years ago, and noone did anything about it. Well once he snaps, no law will stop anyone from taking lives if that's what they want to do.
So the real solution has nothing to do with guns at all, but people being more proactive when they see someone who is troubled. The US is a very large country, there are crazy people everywhere. People post pictures of assault weapons and wonder how anyone can own them. No law will ever stop people from obtaining weapons or finding other more creative ways to take many lives.
When you see someone who genuinely seems troubled its up to us to help them, not rely on the government to instate some useless law that will not stop this. But people take the shortcut and just want to ban weapons. Yeah sure, that will really make it completely impossible for people to get them. Please, all that will do is make gun dealers very rich and turn it into a booming import business, just like cocaine which BTW is also illegal, and people still have it in every town in every state.
- Assault weapons still need to be banned, regardless.ETM
- So much of what you spout is flawed, An average citizen is not equipped to help the mentally ill.ETM
- Most people's families can't, let alone some stranger. Government must be involved.ETM
- Mentally ill can't typically acquire a gun. The shooter himself was denied. They are not criminals nor running in criminal rings.ETM
- criminal rings. If a gun is not easily obtainable. it might never be obtained.ETM
- Creating a bomb is not that easy as POS sytems, CC's etc often have algorithms looking for purchase patterns.ETM
- The same way they look for patterns of stolen cards. Guns fulfill fantasies that fertilizer bombs do not.ETM
- I could punch holes in your 'theories' for days.ETM
- If mommy wasn't some gun nut, it's hard to say what would have happened.ETM
- Have you kept up woth any of the discussion here Cygnus, or are you just going to hold on to your dogma and not see reason, like a lunatic?********
