I do not imagine I can inspire to be the possessor of answers to these killings with guns designed for war.

Today in America we have individuals cultivating fear and doom. These individuals are predicting riots and Civil War and somehow have individuals like the mother of Adam Lanza’s stocking up with weapons in preparation for this war with Americans killing Americans. We need to justify the insanity or sanity of our country selling weapons designed for war capable of unleashing hundred rounds of killing potential with one clip?

I may not conform to some's ideology of society's norms but, that does not mean that I am without morals or ethics.

here's the prob:

The mentally ill do NOT have more rights than me, or anyone else. I'm sorry they have a problem(s), likely made worse by various pharmaceuticals-- what they, their families, and their communities need to be doing is focusing on getting healthy again, not "gee, I really want a gun".

let's see if I understand you:

you're saying it's OK, a great thing for a mentally ill person like Jared Loughner and his parents to be wayyyy more concerned about his GUN rights-- instead of focusing on his obvious mental problem(s) and getting healthy?

Uhhhh..... wow.

due to your total lack of common sense regarding this issue.

Thanks, that's what I thought... move forward with more curse words.. that also "proves" your critical thinking skills.

17. This is a reflection of the false stereotype
Sat Dec 22, 2012, 10:18 AM
Dec 2012

that mental illness means danger. It does not, and saying that it does is very like saying that being black means a drug addict, being gay means being a pedophile, or being Muslim means being a terrorist. Or, more directly, that having a physical illness means being highly contagious. Please be more specific.

And no, you don't have to say the word "all" or "every" to use this stereotype.
