mell saysEh that's mainly a trait of the cultural-marxist left to blame others
Right, Trump's a cultural-Marxist.
drB6 saysI would like to know how many of those school shooters are on antidepressants, and if number of mass shootings correlate with needless medication of younger generation.
And this. SSRIs are a leading cause for such incidents as well as suicides, and their prescription has been on the rise
Also the culture of blaming others for your shortcomings. No easy fix here.
Because your halfwit Republican Government
Everyone of these past killers had issues with either mental illness or were taking SSRI to control them. Did I say EVERY ONE?
It always came out AFTER the shooting that people knew these shooters had "issues".
But, but, but what if this kid wanted to join a militia?? You know--and overthrow our government. The Constitution guarantees him that right.
The horse is out of the barn. Cat's out of the bag. Genie's out of the bottle... These assault rifles aren't going anywhere. Too many out there; too easy to get. Too many crazies, too few straightjackets.
Yesterday another WHITE MALE individual slaughtered 17 innocent Americans in Florida
The horse is out of the barn. Cat's out of the bag. Genie's out of the bottle..
After Sandy Hook, I read someone's argument that we need to start publishing crime scene photos, autopsy photos, etc. of these mutilated children and bloody people. Like aborted fetus pics, I suppose. Somehow, I don't think that would stir many of the NRA cultists.

Don't forget to add to the tally the cost to Patrick of gun nut retards ruining his site.
but cat out of the bag??
2. Although guns account for 30,000 deaths each year, a third of them are suicides.
I am aware of countries like Australia that have seen violent crime fall even with gun control laws.
People think societies are safer with gun control.
I fully support background checks, which should include mental health notes. People on certain medications should be prohibited from buying guns,
it seems like teenagers may not possess the maturity to have M16s
other glorified guns like AK47s.
For some reason school shootings seem common now. I think a lot of it is some bad kids glamorized Columbine and now it has started a string of imitations, but that is not the point.
Australia’s rate fell to a record low. It is slightly lower now at just 1 death per hundred thousand.
AK47s and AR15s, wannabe M16s are glorified semi automatic rifles. They are just for looks,
Just because the questionnaire asks people if they have a mental conditikn, that is not sufficient.
Where is Trump's leadership? What is he doing to stop these shootings??
My girlfriend just said something to me that I found interesting. For some reason school shootings seem common now. I think a lot of it is some bad kids glamorized Columbine and now it has started a string of imitations, but that is not the point.
Remember the saying, “He went postal?.” It seems like decades since that happened. An interesting social question is why? Is life easier now as a postal employee? What social phenomenon has made post offices safer and schools more dangerous?
Malcolm saysAustralia’s rate fell to a record low. It is slightly lower now at just 1 death per hundred thousand.
Deaths may have dropped but violent crimes and attacks went UP because people couldn't defend themselves. Is getting a violent beating by a thug acceptable because the thug wasn't shot by the homeowner and lived?

So, what's the point? Since when does outside looks change the operation of a semi-auto? That means nothing in this argument.
Are we going to ban a certain model of firearms because they "look" scary??
Case in point, what's the difference in these two rifles?

over-prescribed medications that I believe are causing mental illness
There’s nothing safer then arming a society made up of the same kind of halfwits that fill the pews on Sundays, in hopes of destroying our once great Republic
CBOEtrader saysThis is deeply racist. I weep for your lost soul.
Religion is a race?
If you'd rather call it simple bigotry, im ok w that....but yes, by the way the word had been used in our society, judging entire groups of people as less than yourself is generally referred to as racism.
So most of Pat.net is racist by way of their views of liberals then?

High school kids have ~50 years of unrealized labor potential, at a ballpark of 50k per year.
2,500,000 x 17 = $42,500,000 in lost potential wages
17 families will now have to bury a child. Average cost of funeral service 10k = $170,000
Let’s say on average 50 people attend each funeral, so they have to take a day or two of unpaid bereavement leave.
850 people x $500 in lost wages= $425,000 in lost wages
It’s not cheap to travel with no notice for planning, so we’ll use an average $1,000 per person = $850,000
100’s maybe 1,000s of survivors will now suffer from PTSD, which is hard to calculate costs but easily into the millions = $100,000,000- $1,000,000,000
So we’re already potentially north of 1 billion dollars in costs, without even beginning to consider all the ancillary costs to come, so we can pause and move over to the benefit side of the analysis.

A gun manufacturer made a sale of ~1,000 which netted them a hundred or two in profits.
So who gets stuck with the tab for another gun nut taking his lame hobby of target practice to the local high school?
Oddly, not the gun maker. Because your halfwit Republican Government says that the gun worked as intended, to turn teenagers into bloody chunks.
