What reasons can you suggest for why all those massacres you howl about took place? It wasn't the guns that squeezed the triggers. Why did they take place.
Can you tell me about when psychiatrists started giving some of the dangerous drugs they have for depression and the like.
Yes, because guns are quick and they are impersonal. They allow someone with a mental disorder, that is either undiagnosed or unchecked (or both), to easily carry out an irrational plan.
Antidepressants were "invented" in the 50s. I'm not sure when prescribing began.
I've stated numerous times that our mental health system is in shambles. Doesn't negate the part that easy access to military caliber weapons plays in all of this though.
Banning assault weapons and 30 cartridge magazines will make their plans a whole lot more difficult.
Which school shooting killed and wounded the most people? I keep seeing reference to the day at Virginia Tech as being in first place now. What kind of weapon was used in that sure as hell massacre? Why nothing longer than a 9mm handgun, I think. Do you consider any weapon that is semi-automatic to be an assault weapon? I bet you do.
Empty-headed righties just want to feel like they are doing something to solve problems, and it always, always, always, takes the form of the federal government getting BIGGER creating some new law (like arming teachers, mandatory gun safety courses in schools, armed guards)to control our lives. Righties never know anything, so they just empower government to decide what's best, and they never think past the nose on their face.
If you are going to quote others except for one word you should always give the writer some kind of indication of who he is.
May I suggest this link to you so you can see what probably caused all those dozens and dozens of gun massacres in the last 40 to 50 years? Well I will do it anyway.

How about trying to stop the use of dangerous drugs and if it doesn't work please progressives and do away with guns? I bet it would be easier that way.
Your nearest friendly gas station will sell you all the gasoline you can carry and most have cigarette lighters. No license needed. Why struggle with something that is hard to buy? I guess we could ban gasoline too.
Suicide bomber could just put a torch to a propane tank.
