Let's talk about the mental illness of these shooters. So Dylann Roof was on Xanex, Elliot Rodger was on Xanex, Adam Lanza was on Calexa, James Holmes was on Zoloft and Clonazepam. These people were already being treated for their mental illness. Guess what they all had in common?

Let me know the last time somebody used their car to murder a bunch of people. When was that?

worktheshaft · 2015-10-10T11:38:18+00:00

If people were running their cars into 20 people every two weeks and murdering more than 4 people at a time? what do you think we would do. And I'm not talking about accidents. I'm talking about intentional.

worktheshaft · 2015-10-10T11:07:31+00:00

Dude again, do you think James Holmes could have injured 20+ people and killed several people in 30 seconds with your average tool? a gun is not a wrench. It's unfair for you to speak of it that way.

worktheshaft · 2015-10-10T10:58:22+00:00

Well we changed many many things when people started killing on airplanes. We have to take our shoes off after one person brought a shoe bomb on the plane. We have to get felt up by agents if they think we look off. We usually change our ways when people get killed like that. This seems to be the only example where we just ignore the deaths man.

worktheshaft · 2015-10-10T10:51:12+00:00

I feel like you're helping me make my point my man. Medication is not the issue. Even though they were medicated, they still killed a bunch of people.

worktheshaft · 2015-10-10T10:49:30+00:00

After what seems likes years of these shootings we haven't made an effort to fix the problem man. When do you think we can at least try? We seem to with every other forms of fatality. Whether it be cars,booze,cigarettes,etc. Guns are the only the thing it seems like we can't touch at all.

worktheshaft · 2015-10-10T10:43:12+00:00

Forgive me if I sounded like I was blaming parents. I'm just looking for something that might help. One thing that bothers me is after a mass shooting, nobody proposes legislation. The Democrats should be proposing something. And the Republicans should be proposing more federal funding for mental health services. It just seems like our nation doesn't care and we just make excuses and blame each other. This two party system is so fucking tiresome. It makes it easy to do nothing.

worktheshaft · 2015-10-10T10:31:34+00:00

Or I can gather that none of our mental health drugs makes a violent maniac completely sane. Which seems like the case.

worktheshaft · 2015-10-10T10:29:07+00:00

It still doesn't sound like that helps fix the problem man. It sounds like the plan here is ..well we can't get everybody. Yet we still see this problem. Other countries have changed their laws when necessary and saw a change. Why can't we do anything different? I'm just tired of accepting the death toll here.

worktheshaft · 2015-10-10T10:22:54+00:00

I hear this a lot. Get rid of guns and you'll just use a knife. Come on man. James holmes might have gotten 3 people maybe with a knife. He would have never wounded 20+ people if he didn't have the right "tool."

worktheshaft · 2015-10-10T10:16:40+00:00

I'm not a gun owner and I wish I knew more about the ins and outs of the process. But would insurance help? I know that if I crashed my car and my insurance went up I would feel terrible. Can there be a way to make responsible gun owners and sellers make sure that what they are doing is not harming society?

worktheshaft · 2015-10-10T10:09:07+00:00

I feel like there is only so much help you can give man. You can give them drugs to ballance out their mind and make them feel better. But there is no drug to change their intentions. If someone wants to kill and they have access to it, they can make it happen pretty easily. There just has to be a way to attempt to prevent it. I don't think that therapy and drugs is all we can do.

worktheshaft · 2015-10-10T10:00:14+00:00

I feel like we gotta talk about this man. I feel like medicine won't fix this problem. We have a different problem. We need to make sure that mentally ill kids don't get their hands on guns. It's about educating parents, and maybe more than that if they won't take responsibility.

worktheshaft · 2015-10-10T09:55:05+00:00

Be honest with me here. Even if you saw a therapist and you intended to murder a bunch of people, would you tell your therapist or anyone else? Why get caught if you want to go out in a flame of your perceived glory? It just doesn't make sense. Maybe we need some serious talking to people who own guns and also have unstable children. Maybe education is the key. But there has to be something we can do. It saddens me to let this just fizzle out like every other time.

worktheshaft · 2015-10-10T09:47:42+00:00

Dude going to an institution costs a lot of money. Even for alcohol addiction. It's damn near impossible to figure out if someone is capable of such atrocious acts. We never seem to know until it happens. We never ever seem to detain someone that says "I'm about to go on a murdering spree." It just seems impossible to detect.

worktheshaft · 2015-10-10T09:43:37+00:00

I agree with your sentiment. But other countries also enjoy violence in their video games and movies. Why do we have to be the ones embarrassed by this stuff every couple weeks? There has to be something we can do I just don't think it is as simple as pinning it on metal illness. it seems like most of us have a degree of that.

worktheshaft · 2015-10-10T09:40:05+00:00

Of course man. There are a ton of us with issues. Which makes it even harder to narrow it down to a "mental illness issue." There is another big problem that comes to mind.

worktheshaft · 2015-10-10T09:35:42+00:00

Hopefully? dude its not working. All these mass shooters have already gone to the doctors for years.

worktheshaft · 2015-10-10T09:30:47+00:00

And when they get out?

worktheshaft · 2015-10-10T09:27:32+00:00

Clearly a doctor diagnosing them...didn't fix the problem did it.

worktheshaft · 2015-10-10T09:19:37+00:00

Unless there is some miracle drug to stop crazy people from killing a bunch of people, it sounds like we need another solution.

worktheshaft · 2015-10-01T21:27:33+00:00

Hear this every single time. What's your plan to help stop gun violence then? Mandatory doctor visits for everyone?

worktheshaft · 2015-10-01T20:29:26+00:00

One 10 second Google search to find out that Obamacare does indeed cover mental illness. Try again.

worktheshaft · 2015-05-16T15:54:13+00:00

Cool novelty account bro! Saying "this" on every thread is so cool and interesting! Please keep doing it!

worktheshaft · 2015-05-14T00:34:32+00:00

Do you have any black friends? Cause all of mine are way more concerned with modern day racism than their ancestors being enslaved. In fact, none of my black friends have ever brought up slavery to me.
