I cannot speak for anyone else, so I have no answer to your questions.
As I said, there is entirely too much apathy displayed on this board toward serious issues. Many are incredibly flippant and...

Did you not read what I have written? I want to limit ownership of guns just like you do. The difference between us is that I have done something about both gun ownership and mental health. I work...

Bombs? Easy to make. Instructions are available using a google search.
I have not downplayed the use of guns. I am simply saying that if someone wants other people dead, they will find a way to...

Crovash, can you actually read or are you simply being stupid for effect?
I have said that we should adopt the Japanese model for gun ownership. I have said we should raise the minimum age for...

I've seen it many times. Try getting within arm's length of someone that knows how to wield a sword properly. You won't like the outcome.
My point was, is and always will be that if someone wants...

No, the focus on mental health is never moot. Regardless of guns, mental health is a huge problem in our society.
It is a far larger problem than you appear to be willing to admit.
Now, I am...

And this is a point I've been trying to make. We need people that actually understand that mental health is a serious concern in this country. Things like this should wake people up.

Valade, you know something about weapons, and possibly more than I do (I served nearly 50 years ago), but you have no idea how lethal a sword can be. In hand to hand combat, a sword is a far better...

Why? It is the truth. Have you ever seen a sword being used by one who knows how to use it? It is amazing how quickly one can be wielded. The "body count" would be just as high or higher.

I agree that the Japanese model should be implemented.
As to the shooting, did I not say that a person with a mental health issue would fire a gun inappropriately? This is the epitome of firing a...

Platitudes and empty words don't solve problems, you are correct. Genuine action takes people that genuinely care about solving the underlying problems.

The gun, by itself, won't do anything. It requires someone to fire it. If the person firing it has a mental health issue, they will fire it inappropriately.
Improper access to guns is a problem. ...

I have a question for you here. If health insurance carriers, Medicare and state health programs don't pay as well for mental health coverage as other medical conditions, why would national health...

Go ahead.

Again, this is you trying to put me into a category to fit your narrative. Now that you know how I truly feel about the situation, you won't make this mistake again. If you do I will remind you...

This could be done by having exit doors without handles on the outside. They would be openable by use of a crash bar. They would pass Fire Marshall and OSHA inspections.

I did? I simply said that the mental health issue was the bigger issue here.
Try to not read more into my posts than is there. You have done this and been surprised before.

By the way, if someone wants to truly help, donate blood for use in Texas. They have a very large need presently.

Why? The situations are separate. Just because someone takes mental health seriously does not mean they are not in favor of reasonable laws.
Again, it is obvious that some here apparently do not...

Why? Are you trying to put me in a category just to fit your narrative?

Yes I have. Are you surprised to hear this?
They also know my feelings on mental health funding, which is minimal here in Iowa thanks to our former governor (fun fact -- Trump did Iowa a favor by...

What more do you want? I have suggested some real-life solutions to the problem and you ask this question? Are you interested in following them?
Contact your state and national legislators and...

You are more correct than you know. I have several relatives in Texas that are very vocal on issues such as this. I have no doubt that they have made a few calls to their legislative...

OK, how precisely do you propose to stop the trade of unlicensed, unregistered firearms in this country? This is a very serious question.
Also, I am not saying that mental health is the singular...
