And, they have easy access to guns, especially handguns. If you remove
that easy access, then they might have a chance to get help before 33
people die needlessly. Why don't you tell us it's "in the
Constitution" again if it makes you feel better.



Why not start putting insane people back in the institutions where they
belong so they don't jeopardize the lives and welfare of others? Turns
out the guy was clincally diagnosed and was referred by the university
for counseling becasue his creative writing assignments were so
disturbing that the instructor was concerned. And it is the
Constitution, Jon...obviously the American people have not come to a
different conclusion about that or they'd make the quorum to change it...



Why not... good idea. Too bad Reagan didn't think so. Someone
clinically depressed certainly should be restricted from easy access
to guns. Hate to tell you, but the majority of Americans favor more
strick gun control...

Obviously, you don't have the facts...

If that were really so, then there would be legislation...after all, we
are goventment by the people for the people...if what you say was RALLY
true, then the people would rise up and do something about it...if a
person says they're against something, but does nothing to change it and
sits in apathy, then they are really not agaisnt it...they just like to
blat their mouths off with an opinion...I think the more valid statistic
would be that most Americans just don't give a crap...if they did,
they'd do something...
