    I've posted quite a lot of before and after numbers on gun controls impact on violent crime and murder rates.

    I have yet to see anybody else post any. This is a discussion on how gun control or gun restrictions impact murder rates isn't it? How can you have that discussion honestly without looking at the before and after numbers?

    We really need to invest more energy in the mental health of our youth...

    Lock em up if they are crazy. Who knows if this guy was crazy or not. We need mental institutions to lock up fringe persons who are a threat as well as regular testing of youths to assess if they are a potential threat or not.

    I think a huge part of it is just rethinking schools and having well paid staff who want to be there (including mental professionals who know what to look for and how to structure things).

    Definitely people who are threats to others should be locked up one way or another.

    Kids have phones or tablets. Weekly assessments on their well being through a software system that can analyze and track behavior and flag any potential threats.

    Sure, maybe make some games that kids can play that will flag them? But we have a bigger problem with mental health than most first world countries, so we need to address what's causing it.

    Yes, I believe we are too accommodating as a society if someone is fucked up in the head. Everyone is special and no one can do wrong. Leads to unchecked negative behavior and thought patterns.

    We also rely on pills too much to "fix" what's wrong with people's heads.

    The comments are interesting... I swear, this bill could be a republican ploy to get out the vote for Drazen.

    I use to live in St. Louis. It is one of the most fucked up states in the United States. When I lived there it was legal to nurse a high ball while tooling down the freeway but illegal for a Black to walk on the road side unless on a sidewalk.
