whats senseless is that in the 1960’s & 70’s the state and federal governments ruled that the mentally ill had the legal right to refuse treatment and could be involuntarily committed to mental institutions unless they posed a clear and present danger to themselves or others.

I agree. Come get ‘em. This attack on our gun rights is back-firing on the libs, as per the current headline at Drudge:

“Glock Pistol Sales Surge in Aftermath of Arizona Shootings”

What is senseless is our tolerance for VIOLENCE.

Gangs run rampant in our cities. Murder & assault are a common occurrence in most places. People are afraid to go out at night. Doors are always locked & bolted. Teachers are afraid of their students.

This crap has got to stop.

The law should read: Anyone possessing a weapon or threatening violence in the commission of a crime gets life at hard labor, mando. Anyone using a weapon or violence in the commission of a crime gets the death sentence, mando. This law will be taught to all school children every year.

A couple of generations of this law would seriously reduce violence in this country.

What is senseless is that the tyrants ignore the fact that gun laws don’t disarm criminals; they disarm their victims.

Leon Pitts got it right yesterday when he denounced the new politically correct version of Huckleberry Finn with the “n word” removed.

It is not worth wasting the time on Derrick.

At least he has “progressed” from his hate and blame whitey theme to whining about freedom. He’s a radical like his Kenyan brother.

As the mother of a child murdered with a 2 ft 4 x 4 I can tell you it is NOT the weapon that kills, but evil people.

I am so sorry for your loss.

My sister was killed by an evil thing that pushed her in front of a moving bus..... on purpose.

Evil exists and it does NOT need a specific item to spread misery and pain.

These anti-gun tools are truly fixated and disturbed. The Tucson murderer could have taken a speeding car and rammed the crowd killing many. Should we ban cars?

Couldn’t have said it better. There will always be evil people among us to spread the misery and pain.

What compounds it is the INJUSTICE system we now have that no longer punishes, but coddles them.

I’m sure you miss your sister every day just as I miss my Jeremy. The hurt never goes away.

Maybe we should only license “qualified” persons then we would be safe from those dangerous SUV’s. No one would every have/drive a SUV that wasn’t licensed.
We have laws that work like immigration and DWI and they have proven to work so well. /sarc

I have been around and owned guns my whole life. So did my father, and his father ...

None of us have killed anyone, robbed anyone, threatened anyone. Ever. In 3 generations.

How is disarming me going to make anyone safer?

in which a disturbed 22-year-old college dropout armed with a semi-automatic allegedly killed six people and wounded 14 others...

Allegedly? Oh yeah, the gun did it.

As long as Derrick Z. Jackson (who I presume is male) carries a penis, then he is in denial about rape.
