Tomorrow I'm going to destroy my "assault weapons" and only keep my less dangerous guns.
All is well.

No but it would force his attention to the CC'er who is prepared for situations such as that, instead of his attention remaining on your mom, sister, little brother and nephew trying to shop at the GAP.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:

You haven't made a single suggestion yet, not even the easy ones.Jay wrote:
Do you have an alternative? Your own country heavily restricted firearms but you said it yourself, people just turned to other weapons for protection. Did it make the situation any better or did it increase the prevalence of dog fighting rings? We're humans. We're aggressive, we fight, we're jealous of each other, we're covetous of each others things. You can't breed out competition and aggression, merely suppress it or channel it, and that isn't always going to work. There will be people who ignore the system and go nuts. It's inevitable. And frankly, the more you try to turn society into a bunch of pussies the worse they will be able to handle it when someone does go nuts (like Wesley Snipes in Demolition Man).
As for forcing people to lock up their weapons in a central location. Good luck with that. You're thinking of your own urban environment and ignoring the fact that most of my country is rural. They use their weapons for hunting, or going out in the backyard and shooting cans. Shooting happens to be a fun hobby. It's equivalent to throwing darts in a pub, just with a louder bang. Those are the people that are buying ammunition by the crate, not psychos looking to go off on society. So no, M.O.A.B., your 'solutions' won't be implemented here. They would impact far too many innocent people and tip our society over further into the realm of the police state where everyones actions have to be justified in triplicate before they are able to do anything. Sorry. Not the world any of us want to live in.

In logical form;
All mentally ill people are not mass murderers, all mass murderers are mentally ill.
I am NOT implying that the mentally ill should be stigmatized or criminalized. I am saying that mental illness needs to be more widely recognized, less stigmatized, and better treated. It does not matter if someone uses matches, knives, guns, fists, rape, or explosives - it matters that there are too many unstable mentally ill people with too little support, supervision, and hope.
A life of internal torment, external harassment and derision, and a world that seems to direct nothing but hate & pain (or apathy and nothingness) at them - it is not terribly surprising that some of them snap and bring that hate and pain back at the world.
We don't need more cops or more laws - we need more psychiatrists and better funded hospitals for the mentally ill, and less social stigma attached to mental illness.
Haha I forgot, CC holders are all super former delta sqaud Chuck Norris clones, lying in wait until the most opportune time to rescue the PEOPLE from the evil mentally ill shooters.Extra Medium wrote:

it doesn't help that the "GUNZ R AWSM" crowd goes just as crazy as the "GOD IZ SPITING US" crowd after the fact. You have to ignore stupid people, because it just ends up making you look stupid too. Tis why I end up deleting half the posts I make here.west-phoenix-az wrote:

Why do you think some nutjob with no training can be so effective in a mass shooting, but joe blow carrying a gun can't be effective at stopping the nutjob because he doesn't have extensive training? Joe blow with a gun is better then nothing when shit pops off. Cops are only minutes away when seconds count and we've seen how bad of a shot many of them are when they finally do show up.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:
