IIRC, two stories mentioned that the NIU school police response time was either less than two minutes or about ninety seconds. Can anybody find a link? I couldn't find it doing a quick search.

Schumer might broaden college shootings to include all school shootings. Schumer's reaction to the information on selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors should be interesting, to say the least.

...and study the link between college shootings and mental illness

What's to study? Does anyone think there's not a causal relationship? There are hidden agendas here. (1) Take away guns. (2) Overprescribe anti-psychotics. Option (3) allow legal carry for everyone else is not even open for discussion.

Sheesh the Rats haven't won the election yet and they're all salivating to start taking guns.

I shudder to think what Jan 20th, 2009 will bring.

Thanks so much Dubya, you stinking CINO/RINO, for making all this possible.

...it would not have revealed Illinois campus shooter Steven Kazmierczak, because he never was ruled mentally ill.

This gets real problematic for those who would prohibit guns to the mentally ill.

Most people who are treated for mentally illness do not have the kind of mental illness that would prohibit gun ownership under current laws. Furthermore, most people who do have "that kind of mental illness" (don't ask me, I'm not a lawyer) are not reported to anyone, for any reason. Thirdly, mental hospitals are fast disappearing altogether, so that confining people who are mentally ill and dangerous is limited to only those who have gotten themselves arrested and are currently incarcerated. Those people who are dangerous and mentally ill and not incarcerated have the choice of seeing their doctors and taking their medicine, or not. There is no law that requires MH professionals to report someone who is deemed potentially dangerous. There is a law (Tarsoff vs California, ?'72) concerning a "duty to warn" that prohibits MH professionals from reporting such patients unless that patient has made a specific threat of harm to a specific, named, individual.

All of this mess will be opened further as lawmakers work to "solve" the public shootings problem.

The link between elective office and mental illness is, thus, ipso facto, established.

I'd fund a study. Just to prove what we already know.

We have several regions within this nation who should just go away, and do their own thing.

and create a federal task force to come up with national school safety guidelines.

I'm racking my brain to try to concieve of any national school safety guidelines that could have stopped the NIU shooting and others. Just can't come up with one. Maybe it's time to try something else....... like allowing people to carry on campus.

Who’s surprised? Spitzer wants to ban .50 muzzle loaders because they are anti-aircraft guns.

A courier arrives at the headquarters of General Schumer during a battle:
“General,our men are suffering heavy loses!”
“Tell them to dump their armor and heavy weapons!”
Later:
“General,we are losing even MORE men!”
“Well,tell them to get rid of their small arms and knives then!”
Later:
“General,we have hardly any men left!”
“Gee,we must have we done something really bad to make them hate us that much.”

While they’re at it just outlaw crime. Simplest way to solve every thing, see?

Sen. Charles Schumer (Putzhead Schmuck-N.Y.) blah, blah, blah... They also plan to push for congressional hearings on links between mental illness, school violence and Voter Registration and/or voting patterns. The prevailing view of mental health professionals is they are all Democrats.

There, fixed it.

Why doesn’t Schumer outlaw mental illness?

Would love to see that on a bumper sticker.

Remember that to a liberal all non liberals are mentally ill. Who defines mentally ill? Such broad definitions opens a Pandora’s box and I am sorry to see the Bush administration fall into these feel good measures that restrict our rights. But the elites can’t help themselves, anything that guarantees their status is what they are for. Another issue besides immigration in which they are on the wrong side.

Mental illness? School shootings were unheard of until the last ten years or so. I guess chemical imbalances in human beings just didn't exist before that.
