Seedorf81 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Since there seems to be a difference in the number of mass-shootings in the "gun-loose"USA on one hand, and "gun-tight"Europe on the other, and it NOT being related to gun-laws (according to many of our overseas friends), could it be that the way the mentally instable/eerily frustrated are being treated, differs significantly? I tend to think that in Europe we have (or until recently HAD) a little more "softer" society (welfare, medical care) than the USA, which might reduce the "exploding" of potential mass-shooters. As I see it, the USA is a "tougher" place to be for losers/outcasts. Having no (lefty-liberal, I know) way out, they resort to a mass killing-suicide action. That would also explain why there are more of those killings in Europe the last decade; the economic trouble diminishes the amounts of money we spend on care/welfare. Our society becomes "tougher", too. So it wouldn't be the guns that matter, but the way "losers" are treated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 I can see that there is a lot of fear here. Whether it is warranted or not who knows...but it is present.

Buzz Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 para..."Just had a quick read on the Aroura shooter....." James Eagan Holmes was and is mentally ill. para... "Do cars get searched in gun free zones?" Not usually. No in general. para... "This guy is able to obtain tactical ballistic equipment, tear gas, several weapons and 100 drum magazines..all quite easily." How easily? If it was difficult and the crazy man still was intent on purchasing weapons it can be done even though it is illegal to do so. Mentally Ill people should be obtaining treatment and medication not guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pak40 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Had to post this. So this is quite possibly the dumbest attitude towards gun control. Of course more gun control laws would have prevented this or at least lessened the number of dead. The idiot in DC bought his guns legally because of relaxed gun control laws. Had the proper gun laws been enacted to prevent him from buying guns, then the crimes above never would have been committed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentally Ill people should be obtaining treatment and medication not guns. I agree mentally ill people should be getting treatment. Do you have laws in place to stop them buying weapons? Checks etc? I do not know all your laws. Was he mentally ill before the shooting or once they got him to court? Why have a gun free zone if nobody bothers with checks? Is it just gun free on entering the building, the grounds, the complex??? Well he managed to kit himself out like Arnie did in Commando..Someone sold him the equipment.

I would kill to protect my family too my friend. I have a simplistic view of things. People being slaughtered= ban guns & more laws please.

Wicky Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Even if they tried to take the guns from the mad, bad and dangerous? Go ask to the mujahadeen or taliban. The government right now would have a hell of a time confiscating guns or try to take over. You need to have the support of the people. If the government here in the states tries to take anyones guns there would be a civil war like no other. Im talking a massive insurgency. Right now people are PISSED at the government trampling all over our rights, spying on us! It makes me mad thinking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
