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...

Cool init...he was being treated for depression yet was able to walk
into the local gunship and buy a Glock .........

Anyone for effective gun control?

Sure. Please describe "effective" gun control, and please bear in mind
that
this is the USA and not Oz.

Umm Max, that is for your responsible citizens and authorities to
decide but the US is not the wild west...and you would be well advised
to begin some national measures rather that state ones for starters

National measures such as those which outlaw illicit drugs? How about those
that outlawed abortion back in the 60s and 70s? Or Prohibition? Those have
been terribly effective, haven't they?

And we'd be well-advised by whom? Australians, such as John Howard, who
chided the USA today for lacking any meaningful gun control? Offhand I
don't recall our President deriding Australia for it laws or lack thereof.
Does arrogance run rampant among the government in your country?
