In other words, you do not understand the words "shall not be infringed". It seems like something like a disease is going around that causes the so called more educated folks to no longer understand plain English. Bill Clinton has the same problem with the word "is".
that is quit possibly the stupidest thing you have posted yet. Now you just being a complete jerk.Quote:

I agree that identifying, securing them from the public and treatment is one component to this ongoing horrible crisis. That being said many, if not all states and the feds, made a decision to defund or underfund Mental Healthealth/Mental Rehabilitation facilities and programs which in effect turned these people out into the streets and to this day provides little in the way of public protection from of rehabilitation of these folks. A solution in this area is desperately needed.Quote:

At this point, given the terrible repetition of these kinds of events, all solutions must be examined.
If you control those who commit the crime, there would be no need to control the tools that they use to commit them.Quote:

True, but are you willing to commit to the level of funding required to completely control these people?Quote:

So the regulations worked there, too bad they were ineffective for his mother's weapons purchases.Quote:

As far as funding, I'm sure that we can find the money if we're willing to make a tough decision or two about, say, foreign aid?
His mother wasn't disqualified from owning a firearm.Quote:

What did it do for society, again?
Rather, you are convinced that you, with no formal legal education and training, has a far better understanding of constitutional issues than constituional scholars and Supreme Court justices.Quote:
