The REAL reason behind mass shootings

[Gold Maven]

The reason these mentally ill people are killing innocent people, is because of all the state run mental hospitals that have closed in the last 30 years.

These nut jobs used to be locked up, medicated, and finger painting instead of spiraling out of control with no professional help or supervision.

The parents of these killers were scared of their children, and I bet if they could have locked them up, they would have.

I remember in Ohio when the state run hospitals closed, mid 80's i think, "the mentally ill have rights" "bring them back into their communities where they belong" were things we heard, now we are seeing the results.

Lock up the killers, NOT THE GUNS !!

I agree, this is a huge part of the problem as well as a few other factors.

A gun is totally harmless until someone pulls the trigger. Many mentally ill people show no signs and are totally harmless.....until they pull the trigger! - Solution?

You already lock up the killers and the guards are unarmed to specifically deny them access to guns. Guards are still killed by other means, but i'll guarentee, not one of them would want to patrol their blocks with a gun on their hip!
It's called "common sense" or "the lesser of two evils"!

Really, you can guarantee that? Not one would want to carry? Wow where did you get your crystal ball? Just don't look at the reflection......might scare ya LOL! As I am referring to that view you have on the world and not said as a personal attack on you.

It actually started many many years ago.
Therefore, it is never going to correct itself.
We have had the 'bleeding hearts' fix all the 'wrong's in the world.

Many more words can be said.

But, basically it's like this ::: THEY HATE IT WHEN YOU SHOOT BACK!!!:::

As i said, it's common sense. Some people have it, you don't! C'est la vie mes ami.

 

[spartacus53]

Dano, you're wrong.

Guards would love to carry and see how it feels to be shot with their own weapon

Just pointing out how arrogant you are as you speak for every guard.....I see you still have your head stuffed.....well you know where. Common sense says pull it back out and quit being so cockey.

You know suicide is illegal right? So ANY guard carrying a gun into a cell block would be breaking the law as well as being mentally unstable and totally unfit for the job!
So yeah, i think i can speak for every guard!

You are correct; Va. DOC (Dept. of Corrections) policy is NO guns... NO batons (aka night sticks). Security Guards have to develop and show TOUGHNESS... mental attitude, body language, etc. ALL guards carry "3-way radios", tho. They KNOW the "trouble-making" Pods (cell-blocks), and individual cells; we used A-1 (Isolation) MANY times, or just transferred naughty inmates to ANOTHER Institution (prison); aka "passing the buck"...

Suicide is illegal, what punishment do you propose? Death?

 

[dieselram94]

P. S. I know guards can't carry, just countering dano's claim no guard would want to.

GM Ever think the closing could have been a job creator The cost to the state run nut houses was a drain on the tax payer. Giving the problem to a 15$ per hr. social worker solved their problem. Now it's our problem. Reap what they sowed. Big pharma also made big $$ just thke the blue pill and they will become controlled. oops.

I think the state also pays the parents to take care of their own. Now what they do with the $$ is the question.

As you're probably both aware by now Crispin is in the medical profession and took an oath to save lives.....he puts himself on the line day after day to uphold that oath

Not to make waves but is that kind of like the politicians who took an oath to the U.S. Constitution yet break it or attempt to break it just about everyday.One thing that I have learned,trust few people who took an oath to do anything.No insult directed at you crispin.

Insults and verbal attacks stop now.

I'm done. You win. Remember: You are the minority. The anti-gun is the majority. You have just isolated an influential, open-minded conversationalist. My colleagues were right. I had no chance...made some good friends, learned some good stuff...worth the experience. I will spend my time saving lives and lobbying for better gun control. I was hoping to be convinced otherwise...

Peace be to all, God Bless,
