said by Crookshanks:They should be looking at our mental healthcare system and the laws relating to it. You will never stop every mass shooter, but there are at least two instances (VA Tech. and Tucson) where the authorities knew that the person was mentally ill but nobody did anything about it. The Tucson shooter was even kicked out of his college by the campus police because of his issues, but they didn't do anything more than that. Once he was out of their jursdicition they adopted a "Not our problem" mentality.
The really sad thing here is these people aren't evil, they are just very ill. With early intervention they would have been treated and cured, instead they kill other people, and either off themselves or wind up in the express lane to death row/life without parole.
One might also argue that it's stupid to legislate based on high profile events that are statistically rare. My wife is a teacher and has gone through all manner of training and preparation because of this. Statistically speaking, her school is much more likely to be leveled by a tornado, but the extent of their preparation for that is a single drill once a year.
No one did anything about it because the ACLU (read: Liberals) would have screamed and cried about violating said persons "civil rights".
Like I said in a previous reply....Liberals use knee jerk reactions and emotions when it comes to their train of thought.
