Well before the point of needing/hoping a mental health professional can derail this type of situation, something within our society is causing unbelievable levels of mental instability in a sizable number of individuals. Why?

There have always been crazy people. They didn't have AR 15s and we didn't have instant mass media.

Also, many of them were medicated and hospitalized for life with no access to weapons of any kind. Consequently, many of them weren't becoming parents and passing on their genetic makeup or attempting to raise children.

Take it up with Reagan.

OMG Reagan was FORTY years ago. You can't blame him forever. There's been plenty of time to change if that's what would help.

He closed down all of the Federal mental health facilities that spurred the homeless crisis we have today. Decisions have consequences. Unless or until the government gets back into the business of housing the chronic and profoundly mentally ill, they have no where else to go.

It's handy to blame Reagan but his actions were by consensus. He just put his name on it.

If we go back to institutions, will they be better than the last ones? Do you know anything about these sorts of institutions, then or now?

By the consensus of his hateful administration. The buck is supposed to stop with the president. Of course you’re a Republican so it’s always someone else’s fault.

And just like it’s always someone else’s fault for something a Republican did, it’s never the right time to talk about guns, right?

Actually seeing as how Maine has a strong gun culture, I am very surprised none of his targets had a gun and shot back.

If you can't beat them, you have to join them.

Uvalde was the end of the good guy with a gun theory. When trained law enforcement financed by tax payer dollars won't even take on theis ridiculous weapons, it is time for them to go. (Again...they were banned before and the world continued to spin)

AR15 rifles were never “banned,” as opposed to having restrictions on new sales.

In Uvalde, the craven, despicable, cowards who swore to uphold the law and protect others hid in fear and refused to allow others who were willing to take up the task to do so.

When Law Enforcement doesn't want to rush a maniac with an AR-15, maybe we should think about not allowing the public to purchase AR-15s?

Blah blah blah. Nothing in the constitution is absolute. SCOTUS decides what it means and that opinion changes when SCOTUS changes. Ask all the women that now live in forced birther states.

Abortion is not addressed in the Constitution.

It was for a time and then SCOTUS changed and it wasn't.

Abortion was NEVER in the Constitution. PERIOD.

You’re right. The Founders specifically said you could be secure in your home, secure in your papers, and secure in your mind (speech and religion). They said the state could not imprison you without trial by peers or impose cruel and unusual punishments against you.

But they never specifically said that the state could not force you to bear children to term.

Abortifacients have been known since ancient times. The contemporaneous evidence is very clear- the Founders never imagined that the government would or could stoop to interfere what happened in a man’s house between him and his wife. What is the point of being secure in your house or your stuff if you are not secure in our own body?

I’ll also add- several of the Founders were highly skeptical of Catholicism and believed it incompatible with freedom. They would not have given their blessing to Catholic doctrine.

Once again, tackle it at the state level or amend the Constitution, legally.

Damn, is this rocket surgery?

Considering we only have one party and one group of anarchists who won’t do anything about anything.

Let me get this straight:

1. “Law Enforcement” should decide what individual freedoms people hold, including the right effectively to defend themselves;

2. They should do this while hiding without consequence from danger they swore to oppose;

3. While themselves equipped with not only AR15’s, but actual full automatic weapons, unlimited tax-funded ammunition, sniper rifles, body armor, drones, robots, explosives, air power, chemical weapons and armored vehicles.

This is reminding me Virginia Tech, when the numbers of dead were much higher than had been reported until the official press conference.

My favorite is when he accuses Biden of freeing a “mass murderer” (the Russian arms dealer in the Brittney Griner trade.) Got so mad about it you decided to become a mass murderer yourself, huh?

Speaking of another mentally ill shooter who shouldn't have been freely walking around a campus.

This is all pointless. Nothing will change. I just don't go to public places anymore. And pray my kids are safe.

While our new speaker blames divorce and the teaching of evolution for mass shootings.

Tell me what it's going to take.

Sandy Hook didn’t change anything, nothing will. I gave up then. I had no connection to the families except that I was a parent too and I was traumatized. Americans suck.

Amen, if that didn’t change the tide nothing will.

I remember being disappointed at the low number of people who showed up to much against the gun violence after Sandy Hook. The war in Ukraine made a bigger splash, it seems.
