It wasn't the focus. Obama didn't focus on mental health. He focused on taking guns away from people. Even the law you mentioned doesn't focus on mental health. It focuses on taking guns away from people.
Do you think if nobody in America had guns, that shooting would go up or down?

the mental health aspect has to be disproportionately messed up too. things like a school shooting go beyond just being an act of crime. if it was a simple crime then the shooter has a problem with a kid .he goes there and shoots that kid.still fucked up and a murder but different than someone goes down there and tries to kill the whole school.there has to be a point where things go from being a crime driven by say passion or revenge to a mental illness .its hard to say .people are fucked up.

if someone is deemed to be dangerous to themselves or others then they should never have access to firearms.its common sense.that being said you can pass all the laws in the world.the only ones who follow the laws are the law abiding citizens . there will always be the possibility of a person who is not elligible to legally buy a gun just going out and getting one on the black market.
if they banned ar-15s tomorrow then the street value of an ar-15 just sky rockets.it is definitely a trickey subject ,especially since you guys have it written right in to your constitution
I wasn't saying between various type's of crimes within a country.

I meant in the US compared to other counties. In the video I posted earlier, they stated that difference between US and canada was 6x as much per capita. UsA Vs the UK iwas 40x as much per capita. I find it hard to believe that the mental health is 6x worse than Canada or 40x worse than the UK

Assuming those stats were correct, it leads me to believe that the reason for the significantly higher amuht of deaths by gun per capita is because we have proportionately more guns per capita

This thread is making me really sad. :(

The suspected shooter was identified as Nikolas Jacob Cruz, a 19-year-old former student of the school. His former math teacher said an email from the school administration had circulated among teachers, warning that Cruz had made threats against other students, leading to his ban from wearing a backpack on campus. He was later expelled for apparently fighting with the boyfriend of his former girlfriend.

A former classmate said Cruz had a lot of anger management issues and often joked about guns and gun-related violence, including "shooting up establishments".

i was just looking at per capita gun stats and the us is just over 100 per 100 canada is 31 so its about 3x.. i do not thing that the usa is 40x more mentally ill than the uk but im willing to bet that they get a shitload more stabbings over there because they have no acceess to guns.at the end of the day if someone wants to end your life they are going to find a way to do it

I don't think that everybody in American will be without guns, so your question is irrelevant.
No it isn't.

It just isn't the answer you want to give.

Guns are fun. I like them. People don't need them tho. At all. No reason to have them unless it's to kill people. Only soldiers and police should have them.

Wanna hunt? Use a crossbow.

What else do you need one for apart from fun and shooting people in Mass murders?

They do. They've made legislation about knife ownership. Then criminals moved on to burning people with acid.

It's never going to happen, so it's irrelevant.

Then enjoy your endless mass murders and school shootings while the rest of the world looks on and shakes it's head.

Maybe go get more guns. That should fix it

The military doesn't use the guns the op is referring to. They have select fire weapons. We should too.
Understood, but he accused me a splitting hairs to avoid the discussion. I think that all small arms should be legal and available to purchase.

but you should have to get a special license to drive a tank.

Is that really your argument?

Cigarettes killed a lot more and nobody needs them.
I'm pointing out how utterly fucking retarded the "Who really need that?" logic is. Guns are nowhere near the top killer of people, but they're the only thing that people think banning is a "reasonable" solution.

Thanks for ignoring the problem.
Tell me how to solve it. America has more mongaloids armed with deadly firearms than any other nation. Guess what it also has more of? Yes good guess, shootings and murder.

I suppose the best way to solve this is to have more guns.

Fuck it. Let's have everyone carry ten guns at all time, that way they can defend themselves and nobody will get shot anymore. Surely that will work.

But wait. Sounds pretty stupid huh. Maybe just 1 gun.

Maybe give everyone a rocket launcher to carry at all times? That would stop any would be mugger

If I sit in my hotel room smoking cigarettes, drinking vodka, and sniffing glue, how many people am I harming but myself?

If I go down the street dressed as neo and shoot everyone at walmart, how many people am I harming?

A very stupid generalization but the worse part is that's the kind of thing that happens.

Look at that shooter in Vegas. How many guns did he take to his hotel room? How many did he kill? Why did he need all those weapons and why are you fighting for his right to be legally able to have them?

Focus on improving mental health and removing chronically mentally ill people from free society.

Gun grabbers are ridiculously bad at conflict resolution. The way to solving any problem between groups of people is to find common ground. When people that widely support gun ownership are telling you to focus on improving mental health, that's the obvious first step. It boggles my mind that people continue to push banning guns from perfectly safe people.

It was 100% illegal for him to possess those guns. Want to try again?
