"The shooter had been in therapy since age 8 and police had been warned by his parents to check him out."

That's the first I've heard that his parents warned police to "check him out." This dude was nothing more than a ticking time bomb that finally went off.

The one lesson that intelligent people draw from this is that the government CANNOT protect you.

No amount of gun control law will stop a demonic possesed person from killing.

Need to ban Movies. . . . Not guns. . .
Guns don't kill people. . . . Movies kill people. . .

Regulate Beemers.

[Sherman Logan]

we hear cries for "tougher" laws. But tougher than what?

A good question with a simple answer. Since "tougher gun laws" will not stop such killings, the cries will never cease as long as guns are available at all.

IOW, gun laws can never be tough enough. Any gun crime will result in calls for tougher laws, no matter how tough they already are.

An article was posted last week where it was stated that all of these shooters are on psychotropic drugs. Most seem to warn of dangers of depression and suicide. Is anyone looking at this issue? Or is it a fiscal problem for the drug and insurance companies, where a lot political campaign cash comes from. Or is it a nice fit for the political issue for Democrats to disarm the population and ease in their anticipated communist takeover. The bodies keep stacking up.

Kalifornia needs to write some “mentally ill free-zones”.
That would fix everything!

Before the Santa Barbara incident, Tim Murphy (PA-R), a psychologist, has been working on a reform bill which might help find and treat those with dangerous mental issues instead of the all the noise we hear about gun control. Both parties support this bill.

BUT, Nancy Pelosi is doing all she can to kill it and telling Democrats to withdraw their support.

It appears since it is an election year, she doesn't want the Republicans to have even a single example of bipartisan success - even on something as serious and important as this.

“The Santa Barbara shooter had legally purchased and registered firearms”

I don’t think the process was legal. It appears he lied on his 4473 when answering questions about his mental state and mental treatment.

So although he ‘passed’, he lied on his 4473, which is ... against the law.

We need more laws. /$

We have a lib culture and lib parent's creating “loose cannon” people and they blame the gun

Apparently the Violence Against Women Act and Gun Control Act of 1968 were not in his numerous therapist’s reading recommendation list.

The shooter had been in therapy since age 8

I'll bet he hade been given psychoactive drugs since age eight.

That’s just proof that California needs even more restrictive gun laws, and, by the way, even more taxation.

[ßuddaßudd]

Im sure if had applied for a medical cannibis card,, they would have been all over the weapons,,, yup
because pot make you crazy !!!

[Ol' Dan Tucker]

Guns: The Santa Barbara shooter had legally purchased and registered firearms, and passed prior questioning by the police who saw no danger to himself or others. More gun laws won't stop the next such shooter, either.

The first three people he killed were his roommates, and he used a knife to kill them.

But, we don't hear anyone calling for stricter controls on knives.

[txrefugee]

He killed as many with a knife as with a gun. Killers will kill...particularly the insane, whom the Liberals foist upon society.
