Mental Illness - Guns - and You
by MadnotAngry

"We're missing 80 to 90% of the mentally ill. ... That's scary," the president of the the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence said."

------------------------------­------------------------------­---------------------------

WHY is that 'scary'? Are many of the mentally ill actively seeking guns? Did either of the recent two school shooters have a mental illness that would've precluded them getting their weapons legally?

If you ask me, anyone wanting a tool whose only function is to KILL A HUMAN BEING is actively demonstrating mental defect.

Gun NUTS, indeed

So police shouldn't have guns?

The only reason I own a gun is to kill people. I do not hunt and rarely target practice. I own a gun in case some nut breaks into my home with the intent of harming my family.

Of course you think I should just let the armed intruder harm my family or steal anything they want without fear of being harmed himself.

In case you have'nt noticed.....

There has always been a percentage of People who are dangerous to others. Whilst that percentage is fairly low it is great enough for a sane person to realize that he or she must be prepared for a potentially fatal confrontation with one or more persons wishing to do harm to you or another.

Weapons of all sorts are designed to kill people knives, swords, guns....all the way up to nukes.

It is reasonable to assume that personal weapons are needed for protection in our society. Knives and guns are necessary tools for personal security purposes.

Allow me to correct your AssSpeak.

The primary function of a (hand)gun is to STOP an attacker from continuing their attack. True, the attacker may be killed if shot. This is by no means always the case. Non-lethal shot loads are common in handguns so as to PURPOSELY NOT CAUSE A FATALITY. This is a pre-emptive defense against know-nothings much like yourself that blather and shreik over The Bad Guns. A rifle or shotgun may also be employed to inflict a wound rather than a fatality. BTW, ever been robbed,assaulted or raped? Ever live in a lawless land where human predators roam free? Know any Jews that had relatives in The Warsaw Uprising? If not; then shut the fuck up. You don't know what you're talking about.

Your fevered, sweaty spew "...only fuction is to KILL A HUMAN BEING..." is weak in its hysterical spluttering.

The only hysteric spewing is by you alone.

To answer your question: No, I have never been robbed (while at home), nor raped. I was assaulted once, but didn't wish I had a weapon to KILL the attacker. No, I've never lived in a lawless land and pity any fool who does. I've always strived to live in nice neighborhoods and have kept dogs to roam the yard. So far, I've managed to live nearly 50 years without the need nor desire to KILL a fellow human being. If your world is such that you need lethal protection, may I advise you to MOVE.

Seems to me, living a pacifistic life and wishing not to harm fellow citizens is far less hysterical than you referencing the Warsaw Uprising to justify your blood lust.

Thanks for proving my point about Gun NUTS

You have demented standards of "proof". Care to expound on your suffered assault? What were the outcomes? Injury? Hospitalization? Arrest? A red cheek from an irate lover's slap? Hurt feelings? Sadness?

In your case, selective reading must rank right down there with selective hearing and selective grasp of reality. What part of "non lethal" and "no fatality " don't you, more aptly won't you understand?

Those that live in lawless lands are "fools"? Like in Darfur,Congo,Waziristan,Columb­ia,Detroit et alia? You've strived to live in "nice" neighborhoods? How "nice" for you that you have the freedom of choice+$$. You have dogs in the yard? Are they "lethal"? Scary looking? Are they registered? Do you have a permit to walk them? Have you "loosed" them on anybody? Your recommendation that I should move to another world will be disregarded because if I left Earth I might bump into you since you're already WAY into Outer Space.

There is no wish on my part to harm my fellow citizens. Your direct inference is as impaired as your spit spraying accusation of "blood lust". BTW, do you know anything about The Warsaw Uprising or the natural right of self preservation or the legal right of self defense and its consequent ancillary right of access to the means of self defense? I think you don't have a crumb of a clue, probably so about a lot of other things in my "world",dipshit.

How much of a Boojie,complacent,self satisfied,self righteous, blindered,wilfully ignorant,passive/aggressive, blithering maniac asshole can you be? A Real Big One, in your case

Police should have a whole arsenal of non-lethal weapons available to them at all times, with lead bullets being the DEAD last choice.
