it seems logical to think that people with psychiatric issues would be inclined to commit crimes like these-they're mentally ill. what would make sense would be to make sure these folks, who are under medical care for severe illness, would be unable to buy or obtain weapons. that way, if they stop taking meds, and go loony, they don't have a gun at hand.
why are we more concerned about their rights as a citizen, then in protecting us from them?
it used to be that if your ex stalked you, the cops did nothing til he actually did something. many times then it was too late. now, they don't wait. why can't we do similar for this?
if a guy 'hears voices' and says so, why don't we confiscate his weapons?
to say that the right to keep and bear shall not be infringed is a red herring, we already have rules for felons, etc. i think we need to extend those bans to people who are loony, violent, etc.
i mean, why in the world does george zimmerman still have guns? how many calls, investigations, restraining orders, etc, before we take them?

Amen and amen...Did you tape and watch weds Daily show and Colbert?
