TV, movie standards and video games need an overhaul, adults at schools should be armed, and mentally ill people should be safely off the streets, into institutions where warranted. All recent mass killings involving guns were involving mentally ill persons, or Islamist terrorists. But I repeat myself.

Gee, who would have guessed that mental illness has been at the root of mass killings, kind of like all through history.

Absolutely agree. Holywood and particularly the video gaming industry need to be examined and REAL research done on the desensitizing effect of video gaming by young men. I believe the schools should institute an armed teacher program, similar to the airlines’ armed pilot program, which teaches not only firearms use but also hand-to-hand techniques to overpower attackers. There should be arms-qualified teachers in each school and weapons on the school property, readily available. On a personal level, we all need to learn how to protect ourselves and our families, starting with concealed carry. Teach your wives and children to be aware of where they are at all times; to be alert for abnormal behavior; to constantly scan for places to hide and escape. And, yes, I totally agree with locking up the mentally ill. Their families will thank you, believe me.
