Don't get me wrong, I am pro gun control, but I am astonished at how it is the only issue people seem to be concerned about. We need to have a discussion on the national level about mental health issues and bullying, too. Focusing only on the guns is simply starting the path to the next tragedy.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Do you think Obamacare will cover psychological exams for every gun owner?
  
For the first, I agree the privacy thing is an issue.
I didn't equate everyone with mental issues into the same camp. Does everyone else have that problem with lumping everyone together? I should think we at least on this board understand that not every atheist is a militant atheist. Or are we the only people capable of seeing in shades of grey? Nor did I have trouble understanding that not every mass murder spree is the result of psychosis. She wrote it to say that there are people with violent tendencies who need help and aren't getting it. Quote:By reducing ‘mental illness’ to ‘outward behaviour’ the article dehumanises the mentally ill and completely glosses over the inner mental life and experiences of those with mental illness. Isn't a call to have more help and understanding about these things addressing this issue? ![[Image: Untitled2_zpswaosccbr.png]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i1140.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fn569%2Fthesummerqueen%2FUntitled2_zpswaosccbr.png) RE: Possible Motive Emerges In The Connecticut Shooting
