Mental health professionals can't do much if the homicidal/suicidal person is not under their care. Let's hold the feet of family members, work colleagues, classmates/teachers/other personnel to the fire as well. But even if you see that your brother, for instance, has had marked mental changes and appears to be spiraling, and you report it to your parents/the school/somebody -- it is incredibly hard to get a person committed in order to get the mental health help they desperately need. Few parents, for instance, will report an angry, threatening kid to the police because they don't want him locked up with even worse ppl, even if it's for his own good.

We need to limit civilian access to high-capacity clips, and institute a reporting system and treatment for these folks and is effective.

Very good article, thanks for posting it, Poli.

Very few have not been. I got really interested in this when the VATech shrink admitted he knew the asian kid was off the rails.

These French gun laws are eminently reasonable for balancing both public safety, and the right to own weapons for hunting, sporting, personal use >>


^^^^^^
Hardly draconian. Restrictive yes. Draconian no. I would even say these are even perfectly reasonable common sense restrictions.

I would add to the French regulatory framework that no large capacity ammunition clips need to be sold on the civilian market. There is no God-given right to large capacity ammo clips, bump stocks, or hand grenades. Large capacity ammo clips are a military design that are engineered and intended for one purpose only: killing as many people as rapidly and efficiently as possible using a sustained rate of fire. There is not one single, solitary, credible reason - none, nada, zilch - you need a 40 round ammo clip to hunt deer, waterfowl, for personal defense, or to shoot at a target range.

Well, France can live in it's fluffy Unicorn world.

When some terrorist group shows up with machine guns, hand grenades, and large capacity magazines (very few guns use clips anymore), then innocent bystanders have no answer for it. They will be mowed down until the cops arrive.

I will never live in France.

That no amount of regulating the LAW Abiding CITZEN......will ever stop the criminal from killing? If you want to stop the mass killing bring back the FATHER FIGURE into the American Family....a strong willed leader that will put a boot up the ass of any rug rat that thinks that killing is a video game. Right now the leftist village is doing a piss poor job of parenting and UNCLE SAM does not make much of a Father Figure with the social issues. You can never stop arterial bleeding by applying a band aid.

Tell the truth...this latest drum beat to remove a citizens right of self protection is simply a political wish. Clearly you could care less about lives....Black, White, or any other color that have been killed via gun violence...or...you would bring up the 300K plus young black men that have been murdered by GUNS in some of the most regulated liberal cities on the earth over the past few decades. They are being stacked up like cord wood....but they never seem to make the nightly news. WHY?

It is YOU that doesn't care about lives. YOU want 'gun free' zones everywhere. That's where the mass murders take place, dumbass.

Even a bird will defend itself to the best of its ability. The right to self defense is inherent.

[Into the Night]

Shooters do not care about gun-free zones. There are cops in nearly every incident. The Dayton killer was shot by an army of cops in under a minute. Most mass shooters think their death is how it will end.

The longest time any mass murder has taken is 10 minutes. In that case, the cops never showed up. The shooter shot himself when he ran out of targets.

[Into the Night]

The research comes down to one thing: the killer was a danger to himself or others.
What they dont say is nesrly all were kniwn to be that wsy or suspected.
Why are mb ental health professionals feet not being held to the fire for these failures ?

They damn well should be. These quacks prescribe 'medicines' that result in suicidal and homicidal tendencies.

WONT DO A BIT OF GOOD!!!!..still will not stop mass shootings around 1940 or so some nutcase used one pistol with a 7 round clip and killed 15 or 20 people

its a people problem

I know of no pistols using clips. They all are either revolvers or they use magazines.

Most pistols hold 10 rounds in their magazines. It takes about two seconds to drop an empty magazine, reload a new one, rack the gun and begin shooting again (with a little practice).

Caribbean pirates used single shot muzzle loader pistols. They often carried four, five, or even six of them. It was very effective against the people they were robbing and killing. The revolver so common in the Western United States could shoot just as fast as any semiautomatic today. Some revolver competitors can shoot these things FASTER than a semiautomatic pistol today. Some carried TWO pistols AND a repeating rifle.

In other words, these guns of yesterday could easily cause a fair amount of damage. There is nothing about any gun today that is different.

Today, it's a people problem. It was then and it is now. You are dead right. It's not the gun. It's not a particular kind of gun. It's the people. It's the mass murderer and ONLY the mass murderer that should be punished.
