Stop blaming mental health for gun violence. The problem is guns

Guns are metal. Metal is made of atoms.

BAN ATOMS!

I’ve posted this before. When Las Vegas was run by the mob, people were polite and respectful. However, when the big corporation took over, that respect disappeared. This from my uncle who has lived there for over 50 years.

“If we disarmed all African-Americans...”

That may be a bit too much, as there are many fine blacks who are responsible and just as much disappointed in this country as whites.

Very true, however, on a statistical basis, which is what is the current standard...

It’s even worse, far worse, if you have a SUV and carry a gun in it. Pretty soon,when you’re not looking, the SUV and the gun will get together and conspire to wipe out all the kiddies at the nearest preschool. Be afraid, very afraid.

A readily identifiable group, consisting of roughly 3% of the US population, is responsible for more than half of all US homicides.

Were it not for those homicides, the US murder rate would be a smidgeon over Norway's murder rate. Liberals are terrified of being asked the questions, "Why is that true?" and "What should we do about that?"

“I have several guns that have NEVER jumped up and shot someone.”.........

Does that imply that you own some that *have* ? :).......

No it does not, it means my guns are well behaved, ALL of them.

So, if she were to anal-yize herself, would she also fear other inanimate objects? Or is it a simple case of tranference. I think she has some mental issues that should be addressed.

All we need are more laws/s

“Today we begin to disarm the criminal and the careless and the insane. All of our people who are deeply concerned in this country about law and order should hail this day.”

- Lyndon Johnson when he signed the 1968 GCA into law.

It’s a bit of a stereotype, but true nevertheless, that psychiatrists often come to psychiatry to get a handle on their own business.

let’s hope she volunteers for a humanitarian mission somewhere
and no one on the staff has guns (or knives or machetes)
