The problem is there aren't massive state institutions to lock up the sick and keep them out of society any more. Mediation has become the preferred method of treatment. So its up to the individual to make sure they're up on their meds. So if someone has dangerous behavior tendencies...pills it is. They havent committed a crime so you can't lock them up. Legally this opens a lot of doors. You can argue well no access to firearms to you if we deem you sick/dangerous or a former felon. As in NYC a rented truck can cause a lot of damage if someone were that motivated. I do agree with limiting those persons access to weapons though.

Banning firearms....well ok but theres already like 100 million so good luck. Not to mention you just put 100's of thousands out of work.

If stopping mass shootings is the goal, national carry is actually a good option. All these shootings happen where there will be 0 resistance and easy targets. None of the perps have any firearms or tactical training, loner type, no friends.....willing to bet they would cower away at the sight of multiple potential weapons pointing back.

I wasn't the one who used a knife to stop an attack. And it wasn't murder. He lived. And the after effects of that attack and defense were horrible. Unimaginable. Your attempt at making humor of it is not even funny. The emotional effects were truly heart wrenching to see. In the end the effects of the attack combined with other factors took her life. There was nothing "cool" about it and if you're imagining "what it would be like" you need serious help.


She defended herself. With the only means she had. How it felt for her I can't even begin to understand. But it was a demon that would not let go. That's about all I can say. What such an assault is like for a woman is something a man can never fully understand. I tried. Put everything I had into it. But there are some feelings and emotions that only the one experiencing them can know how it really feels.


This is the type of predator slithering around out there. Even if a woman fights off such an attack it leaves something behind. There is no understanding of some things from the outside looking in. Yea. Hope you got a good laugh man. Keep on imagining. But be careful what you wish for.
