Mass shooting? Guessin' the doc didn't hear about the other deaths NOT related to a firearm in that event. Once again, proof positive that not all doctors/professors finish anywhere near the top of the class. With her lack of reasoning ability, I'm surprised she finished at all. Incidentally, I just checked and (if I had any) my firearms are still snuggled warm and sound asleep. And these are the types of morons "teaching" our kids in college? Man do we need some help.

Lock up the crazy people, already.

They kill with poison.

They kill with knives.

They kill with cars.

They kill with pillows.

They kill with guns.

Liberalism is a mental disorder, lock them up for their own safety.

If someone would be ruled to be “unaccountable for his/her actions by reason of insanity” then he or she needs to be supervised 24-7 by a legal guardian.

A great experiment would be to give a liberal a gun and see if they went out and committed a crime with it.

Every time a liberal snaps a spring and starts shooting up a no-gun zone they claim it was a conservative. Then when the truth comes out they blame it on the gun.

“The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles.”

Hey doc! If cars are the problem, why do the courts continually lock up drunk drivers?

Stop blaming mental health indeed. And workplace violence. The problem is liberals and Muslims.
