Jägermeister Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Because both will never happen. It's one or the other, and I feel that better mental health services will cut out a lot of the violence as a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Hartnell's Mane Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 You're right, but it would still be the ideal albeit sadly unrealistic option. Maybe if they weren't wasting so much money on the wars on Terror and Drugs they would have enough money to supply funding to carry out plans for both.

Scott Hartnell's Mane Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Thats BS! Why not both? Both can happen, its just that you don't want to go through hoops to get your precious gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Hartnell's Mane Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I agree with you wholeheartedly on the Big Pharma SSRI's etc. Everyone's saying make mental health more accessible and what not. What that really means is lets start subsidizing Prozac and Zoloft for everyone even though these drugs MAJORITY of the time are involved in the mass shootings and other sick crimes. Actually TALKING to a psychiatrist goes a lot further than just giving someone a pill. No not all of the pills are the problem, the problem are the high side effect psychological drugs that are handed out like M&M's. While Big Pharma's profits skyrocket.

Buddhas Hand Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Uh...no...it isn't the same thing...lol....what the hell are you talking about...and "so-called" pharmaceutical drugs? Prozac, Paxil, Depakote, Risperdal, Adderall, Ritalin, for the love of whatever you see as holy these are the types of pills that are being prescribed by these clueless quacks to TEENAGERS to treat anything from depression to anxiety to many MANY misdiagnoses of bipolar disorder, schizophrenia...If you've never been in the throes of addiction to one of these psych pills like I used to be...you can never understand how dangerous they are. That's it in a nutshell. I am speaking from experience on these psych drugs, while you, unsurprisingly, are speaking from the viewpoint of having not the slightest idea what you're talking about...how on earth is gun abuse and drug abuse the same thing? Please attempt to tell me that...I'll wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navyblue Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I think we need to focus on caring for children at an early age while providing a loving environment for them. Put health and well being at the top of the list of priorities. Some may call that socialism and if it is then so be it. I think until we legitimately care for those who have not been cared for, and raise our children with a loving hand and heart, these things will keep happening. Maybe it isn't viable today, but I think it is something to strive for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newsflash Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Here you go again with this crap...these things do not happen in the US "daily" and it CERTAINLY isn't a "norm". You should refrain from posting until you get your head out of your butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 Well, it looks like its a norm now. You seem to be really out of touch with reality. I wonder how many gun shooting incidents go unreported? You also seem to not be capable of posting without insulting people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Hartnell's Mane Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 What? Thousands of gun related homicides happen every year in the USA. Pretty sure it's close to daily. Silly American. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 From one of the recent Sandy Hook articles: Child Gun Deaths Nationwide Number Nearly 6 Newtown Massacres In 2011, guns were used to murder 8,583 people living in the U.S., according to the most recent FBI data available. Among those murdered by guns, there were 565 young people under the age of 18, and 119 children ages 12 or younger -- the latter number nearly equivalent to six Newtown mass shootings. And these figures include only homicides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 How long before America finally does something to try and prevent these things from happening? Mental health and gun control are both problems. Either get help to these psychos, or take away their guns at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Why don't we guess at just how mentally unstable this guy was when he committed this crime and then wait to hear how many CDCers want to blame this on the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
