    Both. See post above on Australia...makes a lot of sense to me.

    Almost every modern firearm is Semi Auto. (Muskets, Over/Under/double barrel shotguns are not).

    Why is that you ask? One or two bullets is not enough. Have you gone to a firing range to shoot? Have you tried hitting a moving target? It's not like the Walking Dead Tv show.

    If you want to give up your firearms you can do so at anytime. I don't own them. But forced confiscation is wrong.

    Then feel free to suggest a place to start. Because we HAVE to start somewhere.

    As a nurse with nearly 20 years in the field I will tell you exactly where to start.
    Mental health. All of the mass killers were either diagnosed already or most likely would be if they had seen a professional.

    most are on SSRI. these drugs work wonderfully for depression. they make you numb ( so to speak)
    that is also why there is a warning on these drugs about higher potential for suicide. it numbs that part of you that would not do this normally. guess murder is pretty related to that.

    Now working in this field, I can tell you that most people do not have access to good mental health, or if they do it's not easy to get in when you need to. If you have a psychiatric emergency, you go to the er, they sit on you for 3 days and let you go home. For the vast majority of people this is how it goes.

    we need to really get mental health under control in this country. if you look at the pyschological health of this nation vs. other industrialized nations you will find a large disparity. to compound that problem we don't have the needed caregivers and science/meds to help . that's my 2 cents anyhow on how to start the conversation. thanks[/quote]

    Spot on !!!!

    I think maybe your health system as a whole might need some attention??? Not just mental health.... Just saying ;)
    And it seems to me that it goes without saying that people who commit these horrible crimes have a mental imbalance .... Doesn't matter which country they are located in .... Mass murder is NOT "normal"
    Breath, breathe, engulfing .... Consuming, so beautiful ... Life ...

    I don't think I've ever witnessed a bunch of people with a lower IQ than those who have posted comments on that site.

    Yup. That pretty much sums it up.

    The best part is that if you post anything contrary to their posts and/or beliefs, they immediately call you out as being an Obama clone and say you are brainwashed....without even a hint of irony.

    Lets enforce the laws that we currently have before we draft more laws!!! Inanimate objects like guns, knives, cars, hammers, etc are tools that can be used to perform an objective. The objective comes from a person. Let the focus be on the existing laws and the people who have access to these tools. A gun doesnt shoot itself. It takes energy and force to load a gun, aim a gun, and pull the trigger. Just my two cents.
