So there's been a lot of shooting recently and the president isnt doing about it.
Australia had its worst mass shooting in 1996 on the 28th of April. 12 days later australia announced a bipartisan deal on sweeping gun control measures. The government brought back and destroyed over a million guns. We (australia) haven't had a mass shooting since.
Why is Trump not doing anything. Children are dying. People aren't living their full lives. If comforting those who have been through trauma and lost loved ones is all they can do b*llfucking sh*t. If saying it will be okay to those victims then saying that to gun owners should be fine too.
Sorry im just annoyed with how this has all been going down.
These people are more than likely undiagnosed--I am of the belief that you cannot be completely mentally healthy and commit an atrocity such as the one in Florida this past Wednesday.
In 1933, the ultimate extremist group, led by Adolf Hitler, seized power and used the records to identify, disarm, and attack political opponents and Jews. Constitutional rights were suspended, and mass searches for and seizures of guns and dissident publications ensued. Police revoked gun licenses of Social Democrats and others who were not “politically reliable.”
During the five years of repression that followed, society was “cleansed” by the National Socialist regime. Undesirables were placed in camps where labor made them “free,” and normal rights of citizenship were taken from Jews. The Gestapo banned independent gun clubs and arrested their leaders. Gestapo counsel Werner Best issued a directive to the police forbidding issuance of firearm permits to Jews.
In 1938, Hitler signed a new Gun Control Act. Now that many “enemies of the state” had been removed from society, some restrictions could be slightly liberalized, especially for Party members. But Jews were prohibited from working in the firearms industry, and .22 caliber hollow-point ammunition was banned.
you can be a hateful as/shole and still be mentally ill as many people who have done this are. there are also plenty of them who are mentally stable and just an as/shole just like there are plenty of mentally ill people who have never and would never do anything like it
The mentally ill (and even the physically disabled) have had a long and unfortunate history of being misconstrued as freaks who will harm people given the first available opportunity. A blanket stereotype of this magnitude has been perpetuated throughout not only the United States, but much of the world over centuries, and it's time for that to go away.
Ivana is correct in that most of the shootings are done with people with a mental illness or a history of having one, sometimes undiagnosed. In that quote she never said nor did she imply that the majority of people with a history of mental illness commit these types of crimes.
This is exactly why the focus needs to be on changing gun control moreso than it does on mental health solutions for the purpose of this topic. While mental health education and counselling may help to prevent these types of issues, changing the laws is probably, I think, the most effective method in the prevention of mass shootings.
Flygon your statistics don't mean anything. The kid that shot up a school with 17 people was mentally ill. And so were a lot of other mass school shooters.
Please give me one reason why a regular civilian should walk around with an AR-15 gun instead of handgun. Gun restrictions are basically all over the world and it works everywhere else. Did you know the actual statistics of mass shootings? There is one EVERY 3 DAYS. MOST ARE NOT REPORTED. This was said on CNN. We have to do something about this. Totally hypocritcal to be against abortion but you're okay with 19 year old psychopaths shooting children? He can have easy access to guns but not be able to drink a glass of vodka? Do you not see the stupidity? I am an American but even I can see our government needs to do some changing.
No, I mean mentally ill specifically. I know what I said. Most of these shootings have been done by people with history. I have a diagnosis myself so I am included in this statement.
Considering all the free help/medicine i got to help with my opiate addiction, i would say ur statement isnt true. Plus congress is really going hard on the opiate crisis right now.
How come the US spends billions of dollars incarcerating black men for crimes relating to weed, and hunting down cartels, but doesn't give a hoot about the oxy crisis?
