Hi, Jimmy... I think we might know one another in RL.

Yes, this is true. There are some cities that probably have a
"mass shootings" worth of people, and then some, shot and killed
each day by handguns.
Definitely true. Chicago probably tops that list. The city with the strictest gun laws anywhere. What they forget is that criminals don't
obey laws.
I really don't understand how someone like me can explain that to
someone who seems to be able to follow logic and seems to be resonably intelligent, yet they won't understand it. IMHO, some of them just
think that guns are scary and we are better off with less of them, but
the "criminals don't obey laws" logic should be equally as scary.

The real problem is mental health, and the fact that so many are not
able to get treatment for their issues.
It goes well beyond mental health. Crazy people are a minority of shooters when compared to organized crime and gang murders. What
happened to the beliefs that life has value?

The fact there is so much school violence should point out the fact
that schools are structured as stressful places in which people is
broken past the point of no return. I never see anybody talking about this.

While I hated being treated like crap by bullies, I never had thoughts
of killing anyone. Coming back later in life and making them miserable sounded more fun.

Going out in a blaze of "glory" garners way more attention. Leave
behind a note or a manifesto, and it will be on the news regardless how poorly written or illogical it is.

Suffice it to say more people are killed by handguns each year than by rifles of any time.
Suicides account for more firearms related deaths each year than any other. Rifles of any type are seldom utilized in suicide attempts.
The problem is not the gun. The problem is the cheapening of human
life. The cheapening of human life is a direct reflection of the
society in which we live.
BUT - I had a friend say something to the effect of "I don't like
guns - they were designed to kill - I'd rather there not be
any guns" and I honestly agreed with him! If it would prevent
people from hurting other people? I'd be all for it! But making
MY guns illegal while not removing ALL guns (bad guys, military,
our government, other governments) is not the answer. That just
creates a defenseless target...

Agreed! And unless something has changed, more people are killed each
year by 'fist and foot' than guns anyway...
... <A>bort <R>etry <D>o what I mean!!!
Nothing has changed, hand-and-foot still outpaces firearms. And don't forget that the lowly handgun accounts for far more deaths than that scary and deadly-looking AR-15 (or ANY rifle forthat matter).

I have always suspected that they are going after rifles more lately
because they figured out that their private body guards are more likely to carry a handgun and they don't want to have to give the body guards up.
"They" in this case being celebrities and politicians.
