Parents don’t parent anymore, the younger generations aren’t held accountable, and society fails to punish those who step over the boundaries we’ve established as a reasonable society.
“If more SANE people were armed, the crazy people would get off less shots”. At least in this case, at least one attendee was man enough to try to take down one of the alleged perpetrators!
You must have missed the reply concerning gun confiscation during Hurricane Katrina…one of the most recent cases…and although it took years, people did get their guns back.
Weapons are the ONLY thing that warranted an Amendment of their own to ensure gun confiscation would not reoccur.
Personally, I think I should be able to buy any weapon our government can buy.
One answer? No, but there are many actions to be considered, top of the list is better mental health care.
Personally, I’ve been around guns most of my life (including high school), served in the military, and never had a gun attack me. Most estimates show between 350-400 MILLION guns in the United States…guns are not the problem. If they were the issue, there would be a lot more dead people, fortunately gun owners are generally much more responsible.
Obviously the above does not pertain to the criminal elements amongst us…Some of the problems mass media skips right over:1 – Liberal politicians thinking they can control people are a problem2 – Politicians making “gun free” zone that makes it easy for a person to obtain their 15 minutes of fame in order to ease their defective brain/mental issue3 – Failure to hold parents accountable for their actions (or inactions) when it comes to ensuring their child can operate in society4 – Politicians failing to enforce the hundreds of current gun laws already on the books5 – Politicians making it easier for the criminal element to make their “cash-free” bail to get back out on the street and offend again6 – Societal issues where offenders are protected by their neighbors against “the man”7 – Liberals trying to “defund the police”8 – Failure of our healthcare system to detect, treat, and/or confine those with mental issues9 – Whiny liberals trying to strip the 2nd Amendment from our lives to make even more of us victims10 – You never see an anti-gun politician travel without security staff, just another hypocrite overlooked by the mass media
Could just be me, but it sounds like the Maine police couldn’t find their way out of a paper bag if they had a map!
“Twice during their manhunt this week, Maine police searched a recycling center in Lisbon for a mass shooting suspect and gave it the all-clear. Then the center’s owner called police urging them to look again, asking them to check the trailers sitting in a overflow lot across the street, the Washington Post reports. That’s where they found Robert Card on Friday night, in an unlocked trailer filled with scrap metal and plastic, after he apparently shot himself.”
For the first (and possibly only honest comment in his life); Joe Biden point blank told a gentleman in the crowd, “I don’t work for you!”
