One Map Shows How Many People Police Have Killed in Each State So Far This Year

The original post Sandy Hook proposal ... or my "reading between the lines"?

California example:
http://smartgunlaws.org/mental-health-related-prohibited-categories-in-california/

Given the known mental condition of seniors and veterans ... if this was enforced consistently then yes, seniors and veterans, along with people in the more medical categories listed, would have to be prohibited.  But to do that, given gun shows, you would have to institutionalize them.  Of course there is a general denial that the US suffers from severe mental illness in all walks of life.  I can think of many folks, other than say veterans, that I would ban from owning a spork ... if you just saw the light and made me dictator ... bwahaha!

What starts in California, doesn't stay in California:

So doing this, could have prevented several mass shootings, including Sandy Hook.  It may also be necessary for the DSM-V to characterize extreme political opinion as mental illness ... in order to cordon off the recent church shooter from the rest of society.

More bullshit.

I agree it is bullshit ... but then that is the kind of country I live in (I assume you are also American ... not all posters are).  Just because I post something, doesn't mean I am an advocate.

Personally, I am not afraid for myself, even though I live in a bad neighborhood.  I consider an overzealous cop to be just as dangerous a person as the neighborhood drug dealer.  But like a zoo keeper in the lion pen ... I stay out of the pen as much as possible, and am very careful what I do or say if I am in the pen, just in case the lions are hungry.

The Paranoia Pump keeps a steady stream of that kind of thing going. It's not helpful to be the guy on the pump handle.

But if we really were cool, collected, effective ... in crisis situations (when is life not a crisis?) ... then we would be as psychotic as the new portrayal of 007.

If we could only get good old Jubal to jump out of that book and into reality!!
