Restrict Democrats from owning firearms.
They are going to eventually classify my Marlin 60’s as “assault weapons”.
It is a semi-auto and it is excellent for assaulting..... squirrels.
There are at least 8 million ARs in private hands.
Imagine trying to confiscate them.....
They’d try to include my Remington 1100, semi-auto shotgun.
"Nidal Malik Hasan (born September 8, 1970) is an American convicted of fatally shooting 13 people and injuring more than 30 others in the Fort Hood mass shooting on November 5, 2009. Hasan was a United States Army Medical Corps psychiatrist who admitted to the shootings at his court-martial..."
Another case of advocating the Fox watching the Henhouse.
"Physician, heal thyself!"
Or put another way "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? It is literally translated as "Who will guard the guards themselves?"
How can you be pro-Second Amendment and anti-Second Amendment at the same time? I think it’s called multiple personality disorder.
Zdziarski truly is an idiot. He thinks he is an expert in all matters. In reality, he is just your run of the mill dumbass.
It’s not just mental health that’s the issue. It’s a particular intersection between mental health and the media. These mass shooters are after one thing: attention. They’ve decided to commit suicide but want to call attention to themselves as they are doing it. Thus Columbine killers made a video in which they stated that people would not be able to ignore them now. The batman killer dressed up like the joker a me shot up a theater with an assault rifle. It’s all planned to get as much attention as possible. The Connecticut killer one upped the batman killer. He shot up a Kindergarten. Why? Because he knew that the more outrageous his actions the more attention he’d get. He used an assault rifle because he knew it would get hm more attention. The Orlando killer called 911 to make sure they knew what he was doing. He texted his wife to see if his plan to get attention was working. He posted to Facebook while he was doing it. It was all about getting attention. Deny these miscreants the attention they want and the killings will stop.
'We assaulted the HELL out of them Japs with those Springfields!'

Some years ago, the putrid Time magazine had an issue called “Death by Gun” with photos and captions about a week’s worth of shooting deaths in America. Vast majority of suicides and murder-suicides involved terminally ill elderly people, suffering with no hope of recovery. Since doctors are afraid to help ease people out, many terminal patients chose the best available means for a quick end. 99.99% of those involved handguns. So Zdziarski thinks we should spend billions on psychiatrists and anti-depressants so that poor souls can be racked with pain and robbed of their dignity for a few more months of doped up existence? Clueless and cruel is a bad combination.
The next major tranch of shooting deaths were criminals — shot by criminals, shot by police, shot by intended victims. Except when by-standers are caught in the crossfire, these deaths were a public benefit (though huge resources are wasted treating wounded criminals).
The remaining 10% were traditional murders and accidents. This group was overwhelmingly murders of spouses by dumped or spurned men, some of whom offed themselves afterwards. This is an area where mental health interventions and better response to warning signs might do some good.
With a few adjustments for rap music, video games, and psych-med users, this likely hasn’t changed in decades.
Mental problems have little to do with the majority of murders by firearms.
This actually occured to me, that they would try this. But it’s not possible, the way the legislation is written.
