I think this correlates with the war on drugs driving up the price and our dumb trade laws.

I would bet the percentage of the weapons used being legally obtained and registered is very low for this group and no additional gun laws are going to help. <br /><br />The second group are the crazies, they are the high profile blaze of glory types. How many of these assholes are on SSRI medication? No one wants to discuss the epidemic of people on these medicines. No one can deal with their problems anymore so take this pill, not working? Take some more? The kid from CA was seeing a therapist since he was 8 YO, WTF! The last few mass shootings have involved people on antidepressants. <br /><br />Many on this board will not like this suggestion but I believe we need to have a mechanism that reports people on certain meds to the proper jurisdictions. I would also suggest that those under 25 are precluded from owning a semi- automatic long gun and any hand gun. - let the flames begin 'C'<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-75750490677392256232014-05-27T12:47:55.166-04:002014-05-27T12:47:55.166-04:00Driving is a privilege and not a right.
