" The Sad Part of the Left is that they truly believe the fault is in the tool - not the individual. These are the same people that truly believe in "Spare The Rod and Never Blame The Child." We sadly live in a society
loaded with brain dead idiots.
The plain answer is to enforce the laws and regs that are ALREADY on the books. NATHANHALEPATRIOT@yahoo.com "

" This is simply the anti rights folks trying to leverage Cho's rampage at Virginia tech. The idea that someone who could deliberately plot to "go out with a bang" (his words) would be stopped by a second law (note that Cho violated the -Federal- prohibition on posession) is simply laughable. Yes, we should "do something" but it should be something effective:

" "Gun violence" is only a whipping boy for publicity seeking politicians. Guns are way down the list of death/injury causing agents, yet politicians and the mainstream media never pass up a chance to castigate these objects and their users, and exhibit absolutely no qualms about disarming law-abiding citizens if they can enhance the illusion that a single crime _might_ be prevented. These shameless attempts to proscribe the Constitutional rights of citizens should be met with stern reprimands on the order of "THROW THE RASCALS OUT!" "

" According to the CDC, heart disease is the leading cause of death in the US with 650K deaths. "Gun violence" at 30k would not even make the top ten. When you start out with a lie, it is hard to believe the rest of what you are saying. "

" The gun haters will use any excuse to deny people their Second Amendment rights. It is easier to pick off small segments of the population than to confront all gun owners at once.
The Ballard N-T should not have run this as a news item. It is shameless propaganda for the anti-gun lobby. "

" In 1992, U.S. Representative Patricia Schroeder of Colorado held hearings investigating the practices of psychiatric hospitals in the United States. Rep. Schroeder summarized her committee's findings as follows: "Our investigation has found that thousands of adolescents, children, and adults have been hospitalized for psychiatric treatment they didn't need; that hospitals hire bounty hunters to kidnap patients with mental health insurance; that patients are kept against their will until their insurance benefits run out; that psychiatrists are being pressured by the hospitals to increase profit; that hospitals 'infiltrate' schools by paying kickbacks to school counselors who deliver students; that bonuses are paid to hospital employees, including psychiatrists, for keeping the hospital beds filled; and that military dependents are being targeted for their generous mental health benefits. I could go on, but you get the picture" (quoted in: Lynn Payer, Disease- Mongers: How Doctors, Drug Companies, and Insurers Are Making You Feel Sick, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1992, pp. 234-235).
