In reply to the discussion: holy cow are people freaking out about gun! [View all]alcibiades_mystery
(36,437 posts)11. Bottom line: it's way too easy for paranoid schizophrenics to get firearms
We need far more restrictive gun control laws to prevent paranoid schizophrenics from killin g large numbers of people with guns. By your own logic, this is the case. By your own excuse - that this guy is not in his right mind - this is true. If we have every three months ort less some paranoid schizophrenic killing multiple people with firearms, then we must regulate the availability of firearms much more stringently. End of story.

If the gunman was insane he shouldn't have a gun. I think the time has come to shut down the gun

do you know if this person legally obtained a gun or was it obtained off the black market?

Yeah, well, I expected to be hidden and locked out. Guess this means I can really speak my mind now?
