None of the above.

Does anyone think that Big Government do ANY of those things right? For instance, their solution to mental health would be to send all the conservatives to concentration camps.

They should focus on cutting a trillion dollars a year in spending—for starters.

I knew it would double post again because it took over 30 seconds to preview and over a minute to show up after I hit post.

[PMAS]

School Security has to be first, it’s the only thing that will prevent another attack in the near term

[a fool in paradise]

Movies don't cause violence unless the White Hut SAYS they cause violence.

I'll second that.

I also think “none of the above’. Focus (like a laser?) on creating jobs by cutting spending, cutting taxes and kiling obamacare.

But I voted just to bring down the relative “gun control” percentage.

[MacMattico]

I live in NYS. You can only forcibly hospitalize someone for mental health reasons if there is an imminent threat of danger to themselves or others, and while at the hospital (for usually only about 2-3 days), you can refuse all treatment.

I've heard people say I'm going to kill myself, and then the police drive up, they deny saying it, and they leave. I visited a friend from high school that had developed schizophrenia many times when he was hospitalized. He had a huge, supporting family, with money, which is one of the only reasons I think he got any sort of treatment. At med time they went around with a cart and asked all the patients, many of them very sick, IF they wanted their meds. They were MENTALLY ILL of course about 75% of them said no! My friend took his because he said he knew they were trying to help him, but said much of the side effects of the meds were worse then the schizophrenia!

Anyway, about 10 years ago, he killed himself, after being let out of the hospital two days earlier, saying in a note the Risperdal they gave him just amplified the voices telling him to kill. He was sorry for what his family would have to go through, but his note said he couldn't take it anymore. At least he didn't kill anybody else in the process. And yes he used a handgun— that he stole from a neighbor.

[Cicero]

Yeah. It was more about mental health than guns. But the poll was badly phrased. Still, as you say, sometimes you have to vote in these polls anyway.

44.94% Mental health system, 28.3% American culture & entertainment, 21.33% School security, 5.43% Gun control

hmm No mention of the anti Christian, anti Caucasian, anti male, pro homosexuality indoctrination that starts immediately when children enter public schools. Of course.

[digital-olive]

I voted for School Security because the teachers should be allowed to carry.

[AZ .44 MAG]

Thank you for voting!

Gun control 5.73%

School security 21.42%

American culture and entertainment industry. 27.45%

At least most of them aren’t screaming for gun control.

Yet.
