as with the details, there are unanswered questions still as to cause, in the
mind of insanity, why?

I note with interest that nobody has taken the opportunity to
advocate going back to a robust system of mental hospitals
that were dismantled back in the early 80s under a certain
President who shall remain nameless.

Just sayin'.

Guns in the USA
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, December 17 2012 @ 11:29 AM EST
Everyone is concentrating on the guns, but ultimately the perpetrators do it for the attention, which the media gives them in spades.

The only useful suggestion I've seen so far was in another forum:

Canada’s School Shootings Policy

Recommend we all study Canada’s policy to protect against school shootings. First of all, no mention would be made of the perp. No pictures, no interviews with family, nothing! There is a law against it. Secondly the schools are prepared. Each class can be locked from the inside. The teacher who secures the classroom then blocks up the door’s window if there is one, with a colored sheet that indicated "Secured" or slides it under the door. So law enforcement responding can look down the hall and see the SAFE rooms versus those not so declared.

Guns in the USA - only for the rich?
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, December 17 2012 @ 04:18 PM EST
I find it problematic that you would effectively reserve the right to bear arms
for rich people ($20,000 safe?).
Banning civilians from owning guns or carrying weapons that are easy to ready
really does help against this kind of violence.
It prevents people from killing on impulse, in the heat of raging anger or
during a momentary lapse of sanity.
You are right, you will never stop criminals from obtaining weapons, but you can
stop them from wielding them openly and arrest them if they possess weapons.
Better than arresting them for possession of pot.
For empirical evidence, please compare the chance of being murdered in the US
with being murdered anywhere in Europe.
