I really think the whole gun debate talk is a waste of time. Congress can’t pass crap and people want them to seriously try to slap on a band-aid and solve gun control?
As someone else mentioned above, we need to take a long hard tough look and realize that all these people who killed like this were very mentally disturbed. This kid, having finally actually read some stuff on it today and looked at some of the photos…looked to me had a lot of help being in therapy at a young age. Maybe they should have a sponsor or a few sponsors where when they feel really bad, they can call and talk to someone they like/trust. Maybe it wouldn’t help, but more ideas related to attacking the mental health issue is more helpful than all the pro/anti gun debates.
Also, I know we all hate meds, but as an ADULT, it was mentioned he STOPPED taking all his meds and refused so that may have something to pushing him over the edge.
A lot of these people sound like they actually want the help I feel, but the current system, even though he came from a pretty well off family wasn’t able to provide it so something isn’t working in the current system/help.
Instead of getting into a shouting match about gun control, people/congress/gun lobbyist and NRA folks should find a way to offer suggestions on what to do with the very mentally disturbed/bullied kids/young adults doing this. I don’t think most sane folks would be against this since it could happen to our kids/us/our kids could be the shooter…etc…
Looking at his writings, he comes off to me as like a 10 year old still that hasn’t grown up. I’m sure we’ve all had these feels growing up, the difference is he acted on it and murdered 3 people with a machete/knives/a hammer, etc… in their sleep. Then killed 3 more with a gun.
