The common denominator of many of these terrible shootings is mental illness like Shaun said. I personally think there is many people walking the streets that need to be locked up for everyone's safety. This will never happen because the liberals will foam at the mouth and the AFLC will fight it tooth and nail, claiming the civil rights of the mentally ill are being violated. I think that the schools and the socialist society should quit handing out participation trophies and brainwashing children that everybody is a winner, maybe then the children would be able to mature mentally at an early age and perhaps without medication and violence be able to cope when reality slaps them in the face. Anyone who has been deemed mentally unstable or potentially unstable should be handled in whatever manner would render them neutral threats to themselves and the general public, I think they should not have the right to sign their self out of hospitals and mental wards after 72 hours and against doctors orders. The only people that actually sweat the against doctors orders are the people who responsible for the hospital bills, since leaving ADO's enables the insurance company to refuse payment. We need to regulate nut cases since they will use ANYTHING to kill people. I wish I did live in a world that nothing bad ever happens, but that world is not here so until world peace becomes reality, hate and crime disappear completely I will hold on to my means of self/family defense. Like I have said before and will say again " I would rather be judged by 12,than carried by 6 " So until you can absolutely guarantee my family's and my safety I will hang onto my guns. The only people that actually follow gun laws anyhow are law-abiding citizens so disarming them only means more opportunity for easy victims for criminals ( Note, criminals generally as a rule blow off laws ie: possession, use and sales.) The last time a Ruling party attempted to force laws and other directives onto Americans was instrumental in our country becoming independent of unfair laws and rulers. It does seem many people do agree with controlling guns though ie; I bet Assad is a very firm believer in citizens access to guns, and generally any dictator that has practiced or used genocide to further their cause, policy, and or religion. We live in a violent times and it is getting worse, the one fact that many avoid mentioning is that a lot of these tragedies occur in states with so-called strict gun laws. That tells me that the law is not the major problem, but not enforcing current laws on the books already is. It is against the law for convicted felons to possess or own firearms in Georgia, but I hear everyday where another crack dealer is busted with crack and a gun. he has nothing to worry about now , his street cred just went up 10 points and he gets to catch up his soaps,weightlifting, and hone his basketball skills further. Until they start adding meaningful penalties to existing laws I do not want to hear about new laws.
