Darron (Hybrid of Darrin and Moron, which if mentioned in the same sentence would be a redundancy), your quote “You are an idiot and a menace to civilized society” is well spoken. Where did you first hear it, from one of your parents? Or maybe from one of your kids if, God forbid, you have managed to reproduce.

Darrin: Am I correct that the link you left (above) references only the last sentence in your comment?

Seems like shooting humans in the US is fun for many people, too. When you say ‘Another dumb idea’ and refer to The problem is not guns or ammunition. The problem is unbalanced minds. how do you explain the similarities to other countries like Canada, UK, etc. with similar tv, video games, mental illness, etc. The mass murders in Norway and Montreal are two of the few world-wide massacres than I can name outside the US. They were top stories in the newspapers worldwide due to their unusual occurrence. What is the difference between those counties and the US? Similar in many ways except the amount of guns in the US. I can name too many to list here for the US.

When you state – Criminals will get guns from these people only by committing an illegal act like theft. Yes, that is possible when stupid people own guns. That is exactly the problem in the US. Too many morons don’t bother to lock their gun up in their house thinking it is safe. Let a gun be stolen, you should be fined $1000′s of dollars. You are an idiot and a menace to civilized society.

“Public safety’s better served by knowing where all the firearms are and making people accountable for the ownership of their firearms,” he said.

Here is a discussion from Snopes (the Urban Legends debunkers and A good site to have bookmarked.) In short there was a general movement, supported by the mental health “industry” and backed by the courts, that a person who was assumed to be no threat to themselves, or others, could be released. Reagan shut down the empty hospitals. Anyway, no one seemed to realize that a person with mental problems was probably not a threat while being locked up. The problems arise when they are not locked up. I remember a case wherein a defense attorney argued that his client, in prison for pedophilia, should be released because he had not committed any pedophile crime for five years. The man was in a prison where there were no juveniles.
