I am of the opinion that given the right conditions, that every single human being that is capable of cognitive thought and physical movement is capable of mass murder.

This is not so much different from Obama Admin wanting to classify many elderly as mentally disabled, if they take certain meds, to bar them from gun ownership.

Of course, Carson will be walking this back as soon as this firestorm hits him in the face.
I was in a mass shooting, and I would disagree.
I wirked at ESL when Richard Farley killed 7 of my co-workers.
He planned it. He rented an RV, filled it with ammunition and guns, and then drove to ESL and murdered my co-workers.
He was cold and cruel and I can’t imagine too many people doing that.
By the way, he had a top secret clearande when he worked for ESL. So a background check would not have prevented him from doing anything.
He was supposed to go to court that day to get a restraining order on him. Maybe somehow there could be a way of temporarily flagging someone because he had been fired from work and was following Laura Black. People knew he was crazy by then, but he was still able to purchase an RV full of guns and ammo
You’re right— I believe without immediate access to documentation that during WW2 there were serious calls for the extermination, or at least the irrevocable diaspora, of the German people.
I can look this up if needed....that Stalin told Churchill he wanted 50,000 German lives as a condition of peace after defeat of that nation. He claimed to be joking after this remark caused Churchill to leave the room in distress.
