We have sensible gun laws. Banning guns doesn't prevent criminals from getting them, they aren't using legal means to aquire them anyways. As for the incident in Colorado even without firearms he could've killed and injured just as many people, explosives are easy to make and cars are incredibly dangerous when running into pedestrians.

An occasional mentally ill person who manages to get these weapons and who manages to kill a dozen or so people and wounding 60 others is terrible. But it wouldn't be as terrible as a Hitler-like regime that is murdering many, many, many more...(millions?)..who have been disarmed and have no hope in hell to fight back. You don't think it could happen again? One of the things that these murderous regimes demand is gun control....take the only possible means of defending ourselves, including weapons that could even hope to stand up to such a regime, away from the citizens.

Yes, I suppose it would make some people happier if they even took away BB guns...and how do you think that would work in defending ourselves against a murderous regime with high tech weapons? The British were well armed with the latest high tech weapons of their day and were well trained,
disciplined armies. Yet, our forefathers managed to overthrow them and form the United States of America. I suppose many British thought these colonists "crazies" shouldn't have access to weapons either.

Be very careful in what you believe....there are fronts for such a regime that pose as liberals who are very good at convincing people that they should have strict gun control. Many of these fronts, whether organizations or individuals, have names that sound liberal and/or say "liberal" things but they are trying to manipulate you into acting against your best interest as a freedom-loving individual. Don't let these people convince you that you need to give up any hope of self-defense against what could very well be a mass-murdering regime.

And it doesn't even have to be concentration camps and Zykon B or ovens....if they manage to starve us all to death or deprive us of health care....or what if....because of such policies...a terrible virus breaks out as a result of all the poverty and lack of health care...and millions of people of poverty spread the disease and die?

Can I just say what a relief to seek out someone who actually knows what theyre speaking about on the internet. You undoubtedly know the right way to carry an issue to mild and make it important. Extra people need to read this and understand this facet of the story. I cant believe youre no more well-liked since you undoubtedly have the gift.
very good submit, i definitely love this website, keep on it

For all those who feel like their is no liberal media bias, read this:

http://www.thomhartmann.com/blog/2012/07/growing-economic-stress-inequality-brings-increase-violence

Before you start pointing fingers, you need to check your facts please!

So-0 where's the outrage in the media about all the violence that is sensationalized in the Headlines, on the radio, in movies and tv-programming? VIOLENCE BEGETS VIOLENCE. It is in the "dark " consciousness and must be transmuted; this high IQ student begat a criminal mind. All of us are capable, IF not on guard. Media becomes a co-conspiritor. Respect all life, including the hunted animals; all sentient beings possess a s o u l. i. e., God particle. May his parents survive this and all those who are being asked to bear this burden. NO man is an island--we affect each other energetically.

Psychiatry, primitive as it still may be, is going to be ruined by psychologists, DOs and LPNs writing scrips. Anyone prescribing psych meds should have advanced education in chemistry and the full medical degree of an MD. There are often obscured root causes which can alter behavior and mood- various types of tumors, hypoglycemia, and other disease states.

These days LPNs are allowed to prescribed psychotropic medications without the supervision of a psychiatrist. They are extremely anxious to use new generation drugs. Prozac, on the other hand, has been around many years with not much bad publicity. Nevertheless, an LPN will start prescribing Zoloft, Seroquel, Resperidone, and Welbutrin, all together, for a depressed patient who may likely get no follow up treatment, who may not recognize the thought patterns developing which lead to suicide, or any of the possible side affects. An LPN is not able to distinguish a psychosis from depression. Prozac is used to treat depression and is not an anti-psychotic.

Aerogirl is on the nose about the individuality of treatments with drugs that affect the brain. Anyone interested in some of the history of psychiatric treatments should try and see the 1948 movie The Snake Pit. starring Olivia deHaviland. An incredible alto, Jan Clayton sings "Going Home" in this movie, and just writing about it gives me tingles. It was one of the most moving solos I have ever heard.

Another thought- a garden design client of mine who was a very successful psychiatrist with the perfect family, killed herself between our Friday and Monday morning appointment. I was instantly stricken with a flu-like illness and woke up the next day with Bell's Palsy. I thought I'd had a stroke.

I sincerely doubt Prozac would make a killer out of a depressed person. A really depressed person can't get out of bed and get to a Batman movie and depression suicides are an act against the self, not others.

I don't think there are any pharmaceuticals sold to the public which are marked "Caution, may cause feelings of violence which lead to mass murder."

There are individuals and groups and organizations that have liberal or progressive sounding names and even talk and sound liberal or progressive but are, in fact, using that front to manipulate liberals and progressives into acting against their best interests. I believe one objective they have is to totally disarm Americans so that the takeover will be complete. They will continue playing their cards convincing you that, for example, you should vote for Obama because you have no other choice. And they full well know that Obama is part of the strategy by the ruling elite to keep people hopeful for change. When there is hope, no matter how foolish, people will continue to play the crooked games that their masters have rigged for them. Hope will keep people from becoming unruly and keep them placid. Another four years of more of the same. It will keep people, perhaps, from really losing it. And if they are all well armed....well...then the ruling elite would have something to worry about. If they don't have to worry about rioting mobs with guns then they can continue to ignore us. I suspect that they are keeping a running tab on all the negative things that some people say and they analyze potential for being the next patsy. Funny thing is, though, that this guy doesn't have an internet history where they can say he fits what their idea of a deranged lone-gunman would be. But, I'd bet they are sure looking for a few good men to fit the next patsy's shoes. Ramblin' Rose......No one knows....

Funny also how the US tries to support all the rebels in other countries...to overthrow the county's leaders and constantly put down the "atrocities" that those regimes commit against their people. Yet, if this was happening in the US, ie: the people rebelling and demonstrating and defending themselves from the cruelties of the police, or perhaps the military...there would be just as much violence coming from the US government as is going on in, say, Syria.

Maybe they should put a warning label on the guns saying that "Caution: This gun can maim, injure, or kill people. Never point it at another person unless you intend to kill him/her in self-defense of an immediate life-threatening situation to yourself or to protect others from life threatening situations. Expect that even if you think you have a clear cut case of self-defense expect to be indicted for murder anyway, go to prison, and lose your life's savings for legal defense. Don't be like Zimmerman!" And engrave the whole thing on the barrel of the gun. Or maybe, just engraving "secret Jesus sayings" on the barrels like some American gun manufacturer did to sell to our government for the war in the Middle East. "Splat! Here's one from Jesus!"

Funny how occasionally one lone nuts kills a few people and it is hyped up forever on the news media...and they do really play it up...but they say very little about all the innocent civilians...women and children who our troops butcher using high flying drones and helicopter gun ships in the Middle East. Maybe we should ban guns and drones and helicopter gunships from the Military...take away their toys...who is really the crazy gunman(men/women) here? Our military has murdered many more innocent people than the occasional lone nut.

There would have been far fewer people dead or injured in that theater...or at any of those other mass shootings if more responsible people carried guns to protect themselves from such crazies. The people in the theater would have been able to shoot back and kill that lunatic before he was able to shoot so many others. And if more people carried guns....fewer idiots would dare do such things.

Those who are willing to sacrifice their freedoms to own and carry guns, hoping that the police or government will protect them, deserve to lose all their freedoms...as they surely will eventually...all a matter of time.

If they are not willing to defend themselves and expect someone else, especially given the current circumstances of corrupt police and government, to do it for them then they are hopeless sitting ducks for oppression and tyranny....oh, and also the lone wacko gunman.

It's not too much to ask for a waiting period..or even a psychological test as a rudimentary screening. But that will only help keep the crazies from obtaining guns legally...they will still be able to get them illegally anyway. It certainly won't make any of us any safer by preventing people from obtaining guns...it will actually make us all a lot more unsafe.

The way it works(does it really work?) is that someone with a gun...or a knife...or someone who is so physically overpowering..threatens...and, often, kills people. Then the police are called. HELLO!!! The people are still dead when they could have immediately reacted in their own defense saving their life and possibly other's lives.

Gun control worked for Hitler, and Stalin, and Mao Tse Tung...too bad all those Jews weren't well armed and had the will to fight back....a few did...toward the end. And now Israel is doing to the Palestinians what the Nazis did to the Jews...however on a smaller scale. Funny how the victim can change his tune real quick.

Don't let it happen again, this time here in America...and this time not victimizing Jews....it could be many of us who oppose the Fascist regime that is slowly putting us to death anyway. They don't need gas chambers anymore....they have high tech weapons of mass destruction now...it's called the economy...starvation...lack of health care...mass sickness and death. And they have high tech weaponry...robotic droned and helicopters... flying death machines to rain down fire from the sky...rather than Zykon B gas chambers or ovens. It's just a practice exercise for what will eventually happen here in America. And all you liberals (and I am one but will keep my weapons thank you very much) out there will curse the day that you thought strict gun control was a good idea.

Strict gun control would be even less effective as the war on drugs. The war on drugs, in addition to being a misnomer, is a farce. It is as much of a farce as the idea that we have democracy in America and people still think that we will be able to change things at the polls. Don't you get it yet? The polls are not going to save us and neither will strict gun control.

Another senseless act by an unbalanced person...... most likely...... One of his friends need to step forward and be honest about recent events in his life!

The whole thing reminds me of a comment made by Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik...."When you look at unbalanced people, how they respond to the vitriol that comes out of certain mouths about tearing down the government, the anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on in this country is getting to be outrageous."

I realize the comment made by Limbaugh a couple days ago, about the movie being a left wing conspiracy, by timing is coincidental, but it just brings back the whole Palin crosshairs map with names coincidence ...it's all very depressing...that's what I think!

Why don't the people talke about G.W.Bush & what Bush done to America !
