So, naturally, some people got shot by a kid who should have been medicated two years ago and removed from school, and the problem isn't that the system failed to get him the help he needed, oh no. The problem, dear readers, is that he was able to legally purchase a gun.
Never mind that he wrote disturbing plays. Never mind that at least one teacher and several fellow students reported his strange, obsessive, dangerously anti-social behavior to numerous authorities. Never mind the fact that it's documented fact that just about any nutbag can 'play sane' long enough to fool a casual observer. Not one bit of that matters. All that matters is that he was able to buy a gun. Something has to be done about that!
The crazy people can stay where they are, we just need to get the non-sentient, immobile pieces of gun-shaped metal out of here. Because without a gun, a crazy person is totally harmless. I mean, Jack the Ripper, the Hillside Stranglers, the Boston Strangler, numerous serial stabbers, all will be rendered as harmless as dryer lint once we get some more gun control.
Yeah. That almost makes sense. Except for the part where it's complete fricking gibberish.
You know what WOULD have been a godsend at VT that day? One student licensed to carry concealed. Just one. But the university lobbied hard, and got a local gun ban instilled on the campus, so students had no legal recourse to defend themselves. Gun control at work. There wasn't even ONE armed security guard, in place to actually, you know, enforce the existing gun control. I mean, Allah's Alabaster Ass (sorry, but I desperately needed to say something blasphemous here), we're gonna take away everyone's right to defend themselves, and then use the Honor System to enforce it? Whose genius plan was that? Is Pollyanna Whittier in charge of security at VT? The jackasses that dreamed up 'gun-free' zones desperately need to read Larry Niven's 'Anarchy Park' stories, and plant, water, weed, tend, grow, and finally harvest a stinking clue.
It's almost too bizarre to countenance, I know. Someone planning to break the murder laws then stooping to violate a gun control law too. I mean, that's just unbelieveable. Who could possibly have ever predicted that such a thing would occur? Clearly, I mean obviously, it's plain as day to any sane person that we need to enact and pass some more gun control laws.

I don't agree... at all.
I doubt that surprises you.
Yes, he was insane. No sane person wakes up one day and decides to kill 32 people, for whatever the reason.
Yes, people noticed that we was psycho. They reported it, to who? Who is responsible for an expat living alone that no-one gives a fuck about. He may have needed to be the responsibility of the mental health system, but with no-one close enough to him to REALLY care - he certainly isn't going to admit himself.
Fair enough, he could have done the deed with a bomb, knife, a fucking cross bow, whatever. But he shot people with a gun that he bought from a gun dealer. I'm sure the gun dealer didn't care if he had a history of depression, he had the cash he handed it over. End of story.
I have never, and will NEVER believe in your country's "right to bear arms".
It should not be that easy to buy a gun!!!!!!!!!!!! For gods sake when will you people realise!!!!
It is true that every country has mentally unstable humans who have violent and psychotic personalities. I may be one, you never know!! :) But it would be virtually impossible for me to get a hand on a gun in my country - and that is the big difference.
America is stupid to think otherwise.
This has been a public service announcement from Michael Moore :)
P.S - I still LOVE ya!!!
Oh sweetie, your own country is learning this lesson the hard way right now. You took 600,000 guns away from people in your country who obey the laws, and gun violence has increased across the board by 8%. Does that mean nothing to you at all?
My love too in unfazed, but I'm worried that there will be no armed citizens over there to protect you from some nutjobber that goes berserk in your town someday.
