(1,591 posts)but it does make for nice talking points.
Strict gun controls will not prevent a mentally unstable, psychopath, or determined individual from killing people.
Realistically...... health care and trade policy will go much farther than gun controls.
The ACA could have been a life preserver for the mentality unstable, you will see better results in mass shooting prevention by getting the mentality unstable help and/or off the streets than regulating firearms. But that ain't gonna happen, cause the ACA has nothing to do with anything but insurance payment policy.
Unraveling the unfair trade policy we hold so dear, would bring good jobs home. THAT would go a long way to help prevent mental instability, stress, desperation, AND reduce the hopelessness people suffer that might push them over the edge.
Mass shooting are perpetrated by 1) the mentally unstable or 2) terrorists......... Neither will be swayed by gun legislation. same way fucking drunk drivers don't care two rats ass about the law. Shit, I'd wager half the people that rally against firearms, will or have driven drunk in the last 2weeks, they just didn't get caught so they assume they weren't over the limit..
Change the condition, or just keep being shocked when a psycho nut bag murders a bunch of people. To believe you can legislate sanity, or even more unrealistic..... remove firearms altogether is extremely ignorant to the reality of who is really perpetrating firearm violence.
I don't care what Obama had to say about "other advanced" countries,.................. he is like everyone else, using this latest massacre as a smoke screen to keep other things off the front pages.
Solve the problem...... The problem IS NOT LAW ABIDING firearm enthusiasts,....... and psychos and terrorists don't follow the law anyway.
