Reply #122: Where do you get the idea that I believe it's "fine" if someone's mentally ill?

I've read gun enthusiasts all week here that refuse to admit that ANYONE over 18 in this country should have any restrictions at all on the ownership or use of a firearm!

>Get rid of guns, and you'll STILL have massacres like this.<

Considering the fact that it's just not as easy these days to blow up a building and create a high body count as a result, you might want to rethink that argument.

Would you like me to refresh your memory on the dates and locations of random gun violence with a high body count over the past ten years? It's pretty damn hard to conceal a truckful of fertilizer, but it's pretty easy to conceal a handgun and a large number of bullets inside a handy clip, isn't it?

>My point: it was the mental illness not the guns per se.<

The shooter used a gun to kill those who are now dead, did he not? A gun he should never, ever have had access to with a history of mental illness.
