the famous dem cry is---"if it can save just one life"
What I have mentioned would have a great chance to have stopped most all of the school shootings.
Problem is, dems don't want a simple fix, they want choas and then government control.

So why not ban cars if drunks can drive them and kill people?
I agree with you, though, lets let the laws on the books take care of it.
doesn't really make sense to punish law abiding citizens(car drivers, gun owners) for crimes created by a very minute segment of the population, does it.
Those rules won't solve the problem, but they should reduce school shootings.Quote:
So, this problem is solvable by using ordinary measures?
Or at least reduced greatly?
PS, as I've said before I have no problem with you owning firearms. I do worry about those with mental problems and a violent history owning them though. As mentioned, one of my extended family members is mentally ill and has threatened to gun down the family several times. Right now gun laws say that someone has to be forcefully institutionalized or be declared mentally incompetent by the State. That's not good enough in my eyes and even then it seems it can easily be skirted.
So we agree that very simple procedures would all but stop school shootings.
The mental issue is a tougher nut to crack, no doubt.
But I have to think there is an answer that does not infringe on a citizens rights.
The obama "regulation" allowed the government to decide who was competent to own a firearm.
In a divided, or any country, that cannot work, as the majority would always abuse this power, it's inevitable.
I've also read the Bible and Book of Mormon, I'm fascinated by it.
Nope, I've never stated any such thing.
We need to fix our healthcare system, starting with killing Obamacare as it has only made things worse. The only thing Obamacare accomplished was making certain everyone had equally shitty insurance.
If we want to be ideological we need to adopt a single point pay system, except anyone who has visited the US Post Office, or Verterans Hospital or watched our Senate and House knows the government can't be trusted to run it correctly.

Trump = Mental Illness
IceAxe = Fix Mental health + Enforcing existing laws (I agree with that HIPAA thought)
TwoTimer = The media is to blame, possibly put mental health kiosks in every Starbucks
oldno7 = Locking school doors after morning bell, nation wide I presume
Anyway--enough of this--back to 1984.
What would you call the type of government in this Orwellian book?
on another note---dirk, you seem like kinda the community organizer here, trying to compartmentalize everyones thoughts, what is your solution?
