I don't care if we end up with gun control or not. Gun Control is entirely beside the point. You think only crazy people commit mass murder? You may be right - but that does not change one simple fact: I could drive you batshit insane, all in three weeks or less. And what recourse would you have? None. All of your family, friends, and even employer would insist on mental health counseling - where you would find nothing but denial, and chemical restraint.
It makes me sick to watch the anti-gun lobby use this incident to reshape our society after their own image - and do so without one tear, not one, for the tens of thousands killed in the name of American Consumer Demand -
It makes me sick no one says shit about accidental engineering . . . .
I'm ranting about this issue simply because the mentally ill generally don't go on crusade without some help.
I'm ranting about this issue because if you look at the dsm iv you will see that there is not one single person on the planet who will escape labeling at their hands
I'm ranting about this issue because no one is talking about analytical behaviorism and human engineering
Because no one seems to give a shit about 50,000 to 100,000 human beings slain in Mexico since 2006, all in the name of american consumer demand - let alone the kids slain in the U.S. over sales territory
I'm ranting about this because gun legislation will not stop instances of mass murder like this - for example - were I to contemplate mass murder without recourse to firearms all I need do is put the snow plow on, wait for the next marathon, identify a convenient bottleneck on the course, and have at it.
- With a concerted effort I could probably top most previous mass murderers from among the U.S. civilian population with the exception of McV,. who used a bomb.
Committing mass murder isn't all that difficult to do, with or without a firearm.
Gun regs are nothing but a feel good measure. They don't address the problem.
The problem is that there are those in our society who find mass murder to be both utile and expedient - and they are both in possession of sufficient technology and in a position to employ that technology to make it happen.

In the shadow of silence cowardice breeds -
tears born of horror become a river of shame.

Every Rampage is progressively more lurid,more terrifying and-seemingly-more random.Every time,the victims are more vulneralble and innocent.It is like somebody is trying to probe the collective Mind of the American People to find that soft spot-what will it take? So now,Americans are in a total Panic and what kind of legislation can be crammed through will be crammed through.I don't think this time will be any different and the kind of legislation that will prepare the way for future Disarming of Civilians will not get done.So we need to brace ourselves for more of the same kind of attacks,because The Masters of the Universe appear to be in Panic Mode.I personally think they are behind the spectacular attacks and that the attacks are being accompanied by copycat attacks by independently crazy Troubled Loners.

Snowplow?

I have seen a snowplow. Formidable to say the least.
More than 60 years since the inception of MK Ultra and a study of the last 30 years...?
Guns were once for kids....

don't make me laugh. of course a nationwide gun control program that criminalizes the possession of semiautomatic weapons will drive down the rate of mass murders. it did in australia, it did in england. and it did in our nation when we did the same for machine guns and short barrel rifles and shotguns.

Well lets see. Milperra massacre - Two biker gangs, the Comanchero and the Bandidos, engaged in a shoot-out in a hotel car park, killing 7 people in 1984, including a bystander. Only one defendant was acquitted on the murder charges. Joseph Schwab - 1987, Schwab shot dead 5 people in and around the Kimberley region in Western Australia before being shot dead by police. [3] Hoddle Street massacre - Armed with two rifles and a shotgun, Julian Knight shot 7 people dead and wounded another 19 in 1987 before surrendering to authorities. Queen Street massacre - Armed with a sawn-off rifle, Frank Vitkovic roamed the Australia Post building killing 8 and wounding 5, also in 1987. When the weapon was finally wrestled from him, he committed suicide by jumping out of a nearby window. Surry Hills massacre - Paul Anthony Evers killed 5 people with a 12-gauge shotgun at a public housing precinct in Surry Hills in 1990 before surrendering to police. Strathfield massacre - In 1991 Wade Frankum killed 7 people and wounded 6 others with a large knife and an SKS before turning the gun on himself when he realised he could not escape. Central Coast Massacre - Malcolm Baker killed 6 people and injured another with a shotgun in 1992 before being arrested by police. Port Arthur massacre - In 1996, armed with two semi-automatic rifles, Martin Bryant killed 35 people around Port Arthur and wounded 21 before being caught by police the next day following an overnight siege.

well lets see no assault rifle attacks since 96 no handgun attacks since new legislation in 02. what don't you understand? so you think australia has less of an outlaw/gun toting history than the us?

Do any of those qualify as mass murder for you?
I can't believe I agree with you. Last time I talked to you about it you said you wanted the Clinton gun ban to come back.

I'm gonna give you a "10" on this one, big dog.
[Removed]
You are pro-gun. You own a bunch, you told me so. Perhaps you are trying to get rid of them and it's taking you months.

Sorry Dog, not a member.

Oh, you know.........it is more than just this incident. Much more. It's much more than the mass murders.
Assault weapons do not belong on the street. Guns should not be slipping out the back door of the manufacturers. The loopholes need to be closed all over the damn place.
See this shows that it is far more than mass murder. It's a circle. People throw a shit fit because the cops are militarized. They scream, they stomp and all kinds of shit. They do this because they aren't old enough or it didn't have any impact on them personally of the gang banging shit that went down in the 80s and 90s. If I wasn't so fuckin' disgusted than I would find it funny. You are old enough to remember this. It isn't about morality. Gun laws do not alter morality. That in and off itself is a mistake.
I am not happy with the mental health system in this country. I am not. If you think that anyone is going to put out a lot of money for a little mental health survey...........it ain't going to happen. They will McDonaldize that shit so quick it won't even be funny. Exactly like they do now. I got news for you though, there are a lot of people that are on the street because they can't function in society. They don't take their meds and nobody gives a damn until something goes wrong. Then they wind up in jail. Then they are found incompetent. Then they are back on the streets. So, it's about time someone started paying attention to this shit.

The vast part of the reason cops are outgunned is because..........the other motherfuckers have them. You can get a gun for about 50 bucks. Easy.
That's right everybody is paying attention to the yuppy middleclass neighborhood. That is exactly what the NRA fucknuts want people to pay attention to. That way they can stand around and do nothing except continue to underfund local police departments and ATF and all of the social programs that are out there.
Point is-you and I both know about the death toll in Chicago and other areas. You and I both know the socioeconomic issues. It would seem beneficial if we stuck a big foot up everyone's ass to remind them. That modest impact that people like to talk about, they are underestimating. Those numbers were actually humans at one time.
[Removed]
It is fifty bucks more than what you had if you got it for "free" to begin with.
I don't think it will alter the next instance of mass madness unless you can factor in the amount of time it takes to kill x amount of people versus the capacity for police to respond as with James Holmes. You will definitely see that for all of the smaller dramas that are played every day across the nation that nobody wants to pay attention to or are so many that they are almost mind numbing. It might even more fuel to the fight to get more shit done.
Controlled chaos, with controlled solutions, with a controlled media.
How can they possibly lose?!

Ever wonder why politicians don't simply ask people in law enforcement and the military what they recommend in regards to civilian gun-ownership? The answer is simple. Politicians are too stoopid to simply ask.
[Removed]
military people were not allowed to carry guns on a military base( ft hood), if they were armed they could have stopped hassan. the US govt refers to this massacre as " workplace violence"
It was workplace violence. I think people who come up with legislation should ask the recommendation of people that are expected to enforce it. What special insight do politicians and civilians have on the issue of what should be legal as far as guns? I don't know anything about guns, do you?
nidal hasan is a terrorist. his business card had SOA ( soldiers of allah ) on it. He shouted allahu akbar before murdering 13 people . i know enough about guns to know that when seconds count the police are just minutes away.
Go argue with the dem-bots here. I'm not going to waste my time talking to you.
Here is some surprising facts that you need to look at before you make any more uninformed statements regarding the Fort Hood Shooter:
http://godfatherpolitics.com/2503/fort-hood-massacre-was-workplace-violence/
http://blog.heritage.org/2012/10/22/fort-hood-victims-call-it-what-it-was-terrorism/

He's crazy. What difference does it make what he shouted?
im not a doctor so i couldnt say if he ws crazy or not. shouting the muslim cry of allahu akbar before opening fire does make him a muslim terroritst. the reason the govt called this " workplace violence" was obscure the terrorist charge.
The only one's who should have weapons are those that are in charge.They know what is best for us.
you really cant believe that, it must be sarcasm.
