Mental Health is the Issue, Not Guns and Armed Guards in Schools is not the Solution - Page 9

Another thing we have going on is people have no way to "put each other in line." When I was a young freak if you got into a fist fight no one went to jail. The fight was broken up if you really hurt someone you paid his doctor bill and that was the end of it. Lately, I have seen people do time in prison for a fist fight.

If we have no way to settle our differences people go off the deep end. Letting people settle their differences will stop a lot of shootings.

The mass shootings are a product of the media. People that would quietly commit suicide see a better way. If they kill a bunch of people they become infamous. When they die they are someone. Their face will be plastered across the TV screen for a week or so. Today's media doesn't take time to find out if what they are reporting is accurate much less consider the ramifications of their actions.

Mass killers are something the medical community has no tools to deal with. How is a doctor supposed to figure out which guy that is a little odd is a mass killer? Being a little odd can not be a reason to deny anyone their second amendment rights.

We already have laws that prevent serious mental cases from buying weapons.

Things are simply being repeated over and over again at this point so we'll close this and sticky it for the time being for reading and consideration.

Personal attacks, group stereotyping, macho chest-thumping, and partisan hackery are low road and hurt all of us.
