I work in Springfield, IL and there's been a mass shooting just west of here. 5 people dead and I'm afraid to say that it seems that one of the victims was a 6 year old boy. Suspect is in custody, but enough is enough....

    I know I've said it a million times on here, but as someone w/ a mental illness...don't sell me a gun. I know it's impossible to put together a database of everyone with one form of mental illness. The percentage of people with one form or another is well above 50% of the population.

    The question is: which mental illnesses count and which do not?

    Exactly. Do you say someone with anorexia is on the same level as someone, like myself, who suffers from bipolar disorder?

    you can answer that question yourself, would your disorder cause you to buy a gun and do a crime ?
    I don't know the experiances of bipolar but I would think that mixing some drugs with such a disorder could cause some to use a gun in a crime....and that falls into a whole new legalize drugs debate.

    The Chicago Tribune identified the victims as a grandmother, a young couple and their two young children.

    mental illness count? :?

    look what they are doing to Holmes ...
    America wants blood

    what counts is intervention to get good help available at young ages
    no one can tell me that people thought Lanza was ok, no people just look the other way

    We're not disarmed. What does concealed carry have to do with a home invasion like this?
