Do you have the answers to these questions, or are you just throwing out stuff? What exactly are "mind bending medications?"the core problem is people wanting to kill other people isn't it ?
studies have shown 3 reasons people kill other people ... IIRC its Lust, Financial gain and revenge although I think there is another or two as well.
how do you stop those people? we do stop them - often - with people reporting, people self defending, police catching them before etc etc. but as with anything in a free society, you're not going to stop 100% of them. We have hundreds of common sense gun laws to stop them. We have security at many places to stop them. Stopping them BEFORE they act - well, we live in a free country, and that's hard to do with people having Rights and Liberties isn't it ?
We know that with all the other examples of the ways people kill other people - its collateral damage, its acceptable to have tens of thousands of deaths in order to have freedoms
commonalities on shooters - what % of murderers are convicted felons? what % are on mind bending medications? what % are muslims where their religion plays a part in the murders? what % are illegal drug related?
there are a lot of things that go into murderers doing their evils .... then you have anomalies like Paddock and the NFL player ... those murderers are very hard to stop
Your posts feel very much like you don't know the %s and answers, but are very convinced that these things are the contributing factors.
So of the above bolded, what do you suggest we do with these groups? Do we not allow them access to guns? Get them treatment? Lock them up? Just monitor them, what?
