    BEHIND THE BLOODSHED: THE UNTOLD STORY OF AMERICA’S MASS KILLINGS:

    Since 2006, there have been more than 200 mass killings in the United States. A USA TODAY investigation discovered that they happen far more often than the government reports.

    [If the gun is not to blame, the NRA is not to blame, if the gun culture is not to blame, or the second amendment and the founding fathers just WHO is to blame? No other country comes close to this? Are we natural born killers? Are we to immature to handle all the guns around this country? Use the arrows to move around the several sections of this article. They are all highly informative.]

    yep, every time there is a well publicized shooting-usually that means photogenic. likable or politically correct victims (white children, gay men, black Christians), the gun banners start screaming for bans, no matter what the facts are

    The yogurt and cheese culture is to blame.

    How would such a restriction be Constitutional and how would it be enforced? We don't allow mixing alcohand driving, but prevention doesn't work perfectly.

    You don't get your meds until you can provide a certificate that the local cops are storing your guns in safekeeping until the doctor deems you safe to have them back.

    Doesn't mean that they won't get their hands on another gun somewhere but the imminent danger is passed by not having them immediately available.

    As far as being Constitutionality goes I don't see a problem. Felons aren't allowed to own guns because they are a danger to society so the same logic applies to those taking meds that make them a danger to society.

    "I don't have any guns". Also, the police are not a gun storage service.

    What imminent danger?

    It's not been proven that taking those meds makes them a danger to society. If someone is a danger to society, why are they wandering around freely?

    So now you are moving the goalposts and saying that those drugs are NOT the problem?

    I guess that makes the NRA's gun culture to blame again.

    I've not made a claim one way or the other. I don't know why you think that's moving the goalposts.

    Another unproven claim.

    Your concession of your position is accepted.

    Have a nice day!

    well since your position is well known-you don't want people to be able to legally own firearms, isn't your argument a bit disingenuous given you already oppose ANYONE who isn't a state agent having access to legal firearms?

    Your disingenuous asinine strawman is duly noted and ignored!

    you responded to it and thus you did not ignore it. and yes you are on record as being opposed to private citizens owning firearms

    I don't have all the data to say one way or another. But perhaps these drugs are not much better than quackery and shouldn't be given at all.

    Great article. With 300 million guns it should not be surprising

    Why are mass killings not more common than they currently are? Why do most mass killings qualify only under the minimum standard for classification as such, rather than greatly exceeding it?

    And yet they amount to only a tiny percentage of all firearm-related deaths in the united states. The majority of non-suicide deaths are almost exclusively from one-on-one situations, where there is only one victim and one perpetrator.

    Wanting something does not amount to anything constructive. There are individuals who want to fly without the aid of mechanical intervention, but such is simply not a possibility.
