    There are various criminal groups that have infiltrated police departments. This report you have seen should come as no surprise.

    They’ve also infiltrated the military. There’s a whole bunch of Timothy McVeighs being created.

    This one goes under reaching for correlations rather than deal with America’s gun problem.

    Not just a gun ban, but a police officer stationed in everyone’s home to make sure there’s no funny business.

    Great. Now Unsung won't be available to respond to my post because he read this one and darted off to WalMart to buy another gun, a video surveillance system, and a shitload of ammo.

    Yes.
    guns should be banned.
    people should be banned from obtaining guns.
    people should be banned from transferring gun ownership.

    not all guns, and not all people.  just a lot more than are banned now. 

    are you calling for anti-depressants to be banned?

    If you actually believe the over prescribed pharmaceutical industry hasn’t killed more people than guns then you might want to do a little studying.

    I did some research and found out that 100% of people die. So why bother with gun control?

    I'm plenty familiar with Rx in affects.  I am in the work comp insurance industry and my wife is a therapist.  We see the cost daily.

    Just trying to see the connection here.  Rx kills people, so we shouldn't regulate guns?

    "Pharmaceutical industry" does not equate to "antidepressants"

    Guns don't kill people, the NRA does!

    Anti-depressants, anti-anxiety medication, and ADHA meds are actually an extremely common factor amongst mass shooters. I'm talking REALLY common. Like, the vast majority of mass shooters are on something or other in that category, or were at some point (the most compelling studies are the ones that explore the connection between ritalin use as a kid and violent tendencies as adolescents or adults - the Columbine massacre led researchers to explore this). However, that doesn't necessarily mean that the meds are the cause, obviously. Nobody has ever been able to prove that is the case. It simply proves that the vast majority mass shooters have some sort of mental health problem. And that isn't exactly a surprise (and of course that doesn't mean that everyone with mental illness is dangerous. 99% of people with mental illnesses are not violent - I'm sure everyone here knows that already. Also, of course, mental illness does not = insanity. Mental illness is no excuse for committing murder unless we're talking severe mental illnesses that involve delusion and shit).

    The proper statement would have been, "guns don't kill people, the gun industry does."
