The mentally ill are not a fair segment of our population to blame for the recent rash of massacres

Let's Not Go Off Half-cocked

Opinion by Jansen Estrup

     Gun lobbiests are trying tto blame the mentally ill for this latest rash of mass murder, but records show that they, especially if taking 'meds', are not the ones we need to fear.
 
 
 
     It is the 'loner', the bullied, the ostricised who is most likely to plan and execute these atrocities. Yes, and certain mental disorders do begin to show up in the early twenties, but let us not go overboard and do something even more stigmatic to those 'different' from ourselves (who are not so damned wonderful either, too much of the time). Lets change ourselves along with our needs.
 
     Understanding requires education, examination and compasion, not a reinstitution of the mental health 'snake pits' of an older age. Turn our shock and fear and outrage into resolve and fairness. That is where we can find real safety.

Amen to that, Jansen. Thank you. Love and peace,

Thanks Terry - You are right. Another reason to consider the ramifications of our impulses.

The literature shows that one thing in common all these mass murderers share is an interest in violent video gaming. Once they start shooting, it's all about score count. In one instance, a shooter had never fired a real weapon before, and yet demonstrated expert marksmanship. You might take a look at the book On Killing.
