After the mass shooting at the University of California at Santa Barbara, Mel Robbins, writing for CNN, argued that blame lay not with the National Rifle Association, but with the shooter and the mental health services he did or didnt get.

No, the problem is eating utensils and cook ware. They should be banned so people don't overeat. Plus, cardboard, paper, and other things that food can be packaged in. Together, by banning all these things, we'll stop the scourge of people eating too much.
5 out of 6...I guess I am Mentally Ill.
Who supervises the guardian to make sure they’re doing their legally-mandated job of supervision? The gov’t? We’ve got that now in multiple layers, and it’s not working.
Another deranged idiot weighs in.
Who, as a liberal, is bonkers.
This is a very astute observation. After arguing with several hoplophobes about a decade ago, I realized the same thing.
When challenged, the typical anti-gun zealot will claim that "most" people shouldn't have guns, because they might suddenly snap and go on a rampage, killing someone in the "heat of passion", or something like that.
I pressed this issue, asking why they believed that. It's actually very rare for someone to do so: nearly every murder of any kind (with a gun or otherwise) is committed by someone with a long history of criminal behavior.
After a lot of prevarication, every one of them eventually admitted they didn't trust themselves with a gun, because they were afraid what they might do with it. And of course, they projected that fear onto everyone else.
When I suggested that they should seek the services of a mental health professional, they quickly ended the discussion.
It was a revelation to me: people with this level of self-loathing cannot be convinced by any kind of logic. Their attitude is completely driven by emotion, and their projection of this emotion onto an inanimate object is a coping mechanism. They truly need professional help, but as the old joke goes:
Q: How many psychiatrists does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: Only one, but first the lightbulb must want to change.
Geez. I barely see any activity at all. Weird huh? How about you strap a gopro to it and see what it does and where it goes while you’re away from the house. Trip to the fridge, bathroom, front window etc, etc, etc.
>> A psychiatrist Examines The Anti-Gun Mentality
Thx. Useful.
liblogic counter argument: “Nuh uh.”
99% of psychiatrists are crazy and give the other 1% a bad name.
Hey Kimmy, more people die in car accidents daily than in shootings.
Should we get rid of cars?
Kimmy probably thinks so.
We can all ride the Gov bus.
Need further proof that MSM IQ is way to the left of the Bellcurve?
QED
Suicide by gun is the number one cause of people killed by guns....
By definition killing yourself by suicide is a mental disorder...
You won’t need to once they move everybody into population centers and everything you need will be within a couple of blocks of your 500 sq/ft hovel. :>}
Gun ownership goes with high morals. Guns in the hands of moral, responsible people are not a problem. I would actually say that gun ownership is a necessity among moral people.
Gun ownership has only become a problem as people without high morals and responsibility get guns....making the people the problem, not the gun.
Basically, it’s the straying from Judeo Christian values which has become the problem in society, and it is showing up everywhere.
A great experiment would be to give a liberal a gun and see if they went out and committed a crime with it.
I’ve done that. They drop it like it’s a hot horse shoe.
The Wapo has been anti-gun for as long as I can remember, maybe back as far as 1962.
Who can forget their attacks against the NRA for the last 50 years, and especially the vicious Herblock cartoons.
