No, it's not "irrelevant", it's a matter of priorities, focus and funding.

America's population has a 15 second attention span, and is usually focused on something that has happened recently.

I feel very bad for the children, the families, the educators, and even the killers when these things happen. But, having said that, they are very rare occurances. Am I for doing something to try to reduce the likelihood of "spree" killings? You bet. Is it to equip spree killers less well? No, it's not.

As I've said, the idea of curing an epidemic of drunk driving related fatalities with a program that restricted drunk drivers to slower, smaller cars would be laughed at, yet the frightened old ladies of the anti-gun lunatic fringe want to do just that; allow the "spree killers" to be who and how they are, but to try to give them less efficient equipment.

It's stupid, and you all know it.

It's stupid because your analogy is invalid. 

A better analogy is: why do we not allow people to drive jet-powered race cars on the streets?  Because they present a danger in the wrong hands and offer no greater advantage to do what cars are legally intended to do in the right hands.

No one is saying to "allow spree killers to be who and how they are".  I don't know of anyone on either side of this debate who isn't calling to do more regarding mental health.   You've allowed your argument to be reduced to building strawmen and pretending there is some sort of either/or situation when there is not.

It isn't about having to make a choice between reducing deaths from MS or heart attacks.  We can do both.  It has nothing to do with priorities, focus and funding.  The people who would handle the mental health side of things would not be the same people handling the reduce-guns side of things.   We don't need doctors to enforce new gun laws. 

You started out presenting a rather logical argument eariler in this debate, D.  But you've been slipping into illogic and absurdity as of late.

This tells me you don't care about children at all, but are afraid for yourself and want "somebody" to do "something" to protect you.


How may shootings were there at this time last year?  How about the year before?

You have no idea, you're just hysterical and running scared.


Listen up, dblazer because you are getting perilously close to challenging Visconti & Echoes for some of the dumbest remarks ever posted on the HCPP.

The shootings stand on their own as onerous and awful. They do this without the need for comparison to past years.

And if This tells you that I don't care about children because i didnt mention starving children in the post then I suppose I couold say you don't care about the US Veterans who died i Vietnam because you didn't mention them.

Take a step back and understand that college campuses should not be the scene of open gun violence 6 times in the first 3 weeks of the year. It indicates that we have a problem that warrants examination. Not the only problem. Perhaps not a new problem. 

Don't trouble your little head about this, dblazer. It will only confuse you.

DSM-IV 301.95 Progressive Personality Disorder
A. A pervasive pattern of progressive political and inter-personal thought and action, rooted in discredited leftist (neo-Marxist) beliefs, beginning in early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by at least five of the following (individual must be at least 18 years of age to qualify for the diagnosis of Progressive Personality Disorder, as many of the criteria are age-appropriate for adolescents). This disorder often coexists with Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
Utopian thinking, e.g. a delusional belief that there exist simple, linear, side effect-free solutions to all social problems.
Lack of historical knowledge and perspective, and repression of personal memories dissonant with this belief system. e.g., the national mood post 9-11, including that of PPD patients, is suppressed in order to avoid conflict with subsequent reversal of beliefs as the PPD delusions were reinstated - hence the downplaying of terrorism as a threat and the obsessive concern for the "rghts" of temporarily feared and hated terrorists. (Note to clinician: please differentiate between mere historical ignorance, e.g., a doctorate in history from an elite university, vs. neurotic or psychotic delusions necessary to sustain these beliefs. )
Anthroplastic delusion, e.g. The delusion that behavioral conditioning performed by the government or some other collective will cure all behavioral and social problems, rooted in denial of fixed human nature. Implicit in this delusion is the idea that human beings are infinitely malleable and subject to behavioral manipulation leading to perfect control and predictability. Free will, personal conscience, and objective morality are denied, devalued or denigrated.
Anti-theistic rebellion: An emotional antagonism to the Judeo-Christian tradition, rooted in an abnormal persistence of adolescent rebellion (may also be related to the need to avoid counter-arguments that would question utopian, anthroplastic ideation). This behavior ranges from a mere antagonism to Christianity to a hatred of all forms of religion. The rejection of religion leads to a deep longing for a substitute religion, or in extreme cases, a messiah. The more Western a religion is, the more it is despised. Thus, these patients may openly accept more primitive pantheistic, neo-pagan, or animist belief systems, such as Wicca or fraudulent "new age" philosophies, e.g., Deepak Chopra, Tony Robbins, etc.
Animist delusion: The belief that mankind is evil and nature is benign. The incidence of this symptom is inversely related to practical knowledge and experience of nature. Collective self-hatred is a feature in this area, paradoxically existing side by side with egomaniacal omniscience, e.g., ability to accurately predict climate 100 years into the future. Typical thinking includes the self-hating belief that mankind is a cancer on earth and that the planet (subjectively felt as a "feeling being") will "retaliate." The animist delusion includes considerable cognitive dissonance, since the typical Progressive Personality is a believer in natural selection, which has resulted in untold suffering and cruelty, mitigated only by mankind's presence.
a. For example, the belief that an eagle egg or four-toed salamander is entitled to more legal protection than a human baby.
Environmental spasm: Chaotic, unreasonable, or incoherent episodes of manic activity on behalf of the environment or "mother nature." The delusional nature of this activity is evidenced by misanthropic attacks on works of man, and also by a manic focus on visible or totemic biological objects of little rational value. The patient is typically obsessed only with cute or cuddly creatures, often a displacement of the nurturing urge (often unfulfilled due to abortion).
Control obsession: A tendency to strive for excessive control over others through state intrusion. A contemptuous projection of unconscious envy which is subjectively experienced as "compassion." Through the magic of this unconscious mechanism, PPD patients typically want the state to appropriate your wealth while imagining themselves to be generous and "compassionate." Use of state coercion often substitutes for true acts of generosity; a low rate of charitable giving is often present.
Racist/feminist hypocrisy: Passionate advocacy of government-enforced discrimination based on sex or race, with aggressively proclaimed opposition to policies which are "racist" or "sexist." Obsessive conformity of thought within a racially diverse population. For example, a PPD patient might favor seating a racist on the Supreme Court, so long as the person is of the "correct" race. Often the cognitive dissonance normally associated with such beliefs is rationalized by the delusion that the "oppressed" cannot themselves be racist.
Overemotional perception: Excessive concern with how a social action "looks" or "feels," to the exclusion of actual resulting benefits or harm; in particular, any effects beyond the immediate. Resistance to, and denial of, objective evidence proving the adverse consequences of progressive policy. Superficial cognition about most matters of significant import, as the progressive personality relies on the "feel" of issues rather than truly understanding them. Obsession with "fairness" or "social justice" as opposed to what actually works.
Sexual dysfunction: Significant anxiety about sexual matters, manifested as:
a. Obsession with sexual and gender roles.
b. Passionate celebration of nontraditional sex roles and preferences.
c. The compulsion to define individuals by their "sexual preference" and to design social policy as if all individuals share the obsession.
d. An inordinate interest in preserving inappropriate, lewd, perverse, or antisocial forms of sexual expression.
e. Fascination with immature or deviant expressions of sexuality; reduction of human sexuality to animal sexuality.
f. The projected belief that the contradictory beliefs are a result of fear (e.g. "homophobia".
e. Obsession with contraception and abortion ("reproductive freedom").
Replacement of patriotism with matriotism: Unwillingness to defend country when attacked or threatened, allied with inability to name or recognize evil and General devaluation of the masculine virtues.
Cultural and moral relativism: The fervent belief that all cultures are beautiful except one's own, and that it is immoral to judge another's morality unless they are conservative.

Crazy people with guns are the problem.   Without one OR the either, these things don't happen.

Neither can be eliminated completely nor would doing so prevent every such crime.  I want to attack the problem from BOTH ends.   You only want to look at half-measures.

Did you see the post where I said there should be licensing and a pre-purchase check for first time buyers that includes a review of their civil/criminal/mental health records? If Aperger's is designated as a disqualifying condition, then they shouldn't get a license, should they?


I'm totally empathetic for the 2 children killed annually in the U.S. by "spree" killers. How are you on empathy for the 25,000 that starve to death every day somewhere in the world, or are you an Asberger's sufferer? Not that there's anything WRONG with that, or course.

I'm pretty intelligent consistently, just because your "knee-jerk" hysteria over the gun issues is out of sync with reality doesn't mean I'm any less intelligent, it means you're more ignorant and unreasoningly fearful.

I have empathy for all suffering children and I refuse to use statistics to try to minimize the plight of any of them.

Tuesday's shooting at Lone Star College is the sixth to take place on or near a college campus this month. The most recent was at Chicago State University on Jan. 16 after a high school basketball game, while there were also shootings at Hazard Community College in Kentucky and Stevens Institute of Business and Arts in St. Louis. Two shootings occurred close to campuses, one at Pennsylvania College of Technology and one at the University of Central Florida.


No kidding? There were shootings in Chicago, St. Louis and some podunk college towns in Kentucky and Pennsylvania? And Orlando? If only there were no schools there . . . were there any shootings in Chicago that weren't near schools? How about Orlando?

 

More stupid on a stick . . .


fuck you blazer. draw whatever conclusions your little possum-brain might be capable of you piece of shit, you.

If you dont find that kind of surprising that mid January we've had this many shootings, you got nothing but wax between your fucking ears.


reported: i think we've had enough of your constant hate and insults. bye

lol  I'm sorry the truth is a painful matter for you DUMBass! That you can not reasonably discuss any matter yourself indicates that maybe you are losing your marbles.

There's no truth there. I can reasonably discuss anything, and I've reasonably discussed this issue. The fact is that you can't address it in an unbliased and intelligent manner, falling back on the knee-jerk hysteria and ignorance of the looney tune end of the anti-gun crowd. Too bad, but entirely true.
