Why gun control and not nut control?

Question

In the wake of this tragedy at VT, I have heard enough about gun control to make me sick. It was a deeply sad thing, I readily admit that. However, why doesn't the media focus on the fact some crazed phsyco killed 32 poeple and not repeatedly hammer the fact that he used firearms to do it.
He should signs of mental illness for at least four years before he did this. Why doesn't Mayor Bloomberg, Rebeca Peters, Hillary Clinton, and the Brady Center get together and stenghten laws that would lock up and treat these nut cases?
If he had poisoned the water supply for the campus or used a bomb would it have been different? I nut is a nut is a nut.

Answer 1

the smartest question I've seen all day. If he had used a baseball bat, would the nuts try and put Louisville Slugger out of business? How about a chainsaw? Put Poulan or Husqvarna out? Good grief, people die every day of falls, electric shocks, auto wrecks and on and on ad nauseum, but nobody's looking to control ladders, cars, or electrical outlets. truth is, if VT administrators hadn't turned the campus into a weeny gun free zone, maybe another student with a legal conceal carry permit and a Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm would have taken Cho out and 31 more people would have gone home that night

Answer 2

DITTO; taking the guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens will mean that only the criminal element will have them. If they would let every American Citizen 21 years and up carry a pistol SIDE ARM and Holstered for all to see, there would not be any incidence such as this, and Crime would drop off next to nothing; because if the man had entered the college where the majority carried a firearm, he would have been killed long before he ever got as far as he did. Concealed carry is ok, but to allow to carry on the hip or on the shoulder is even better, because a thief, Ganbanger, thug, rapist, or murderer would think twice about committing the crime, and if they were stupid enough to try it, well I am sure that someone who is carrying would put them down, and if you shoot to kill, you wont have to spend the tax dollars to throw their sorry butts in jail. A win-win for everyone, except the criminal.

In Australia, weapons have been offered and confiscated. living house wreck in crimes went for the time of the roof because of the fact now criminals had weapons and the civilian inhabitants did not. Criminals do not care approximately rules, the final citizen does. In Miami some years in the past, crime against people who rented vehicles develop into intense. WHY? a individual who rented a motor vehicle develop into probable off an airplane and develop into needless to say not armed. The criminals like to be attentive to that the sheeple are disarmed. call 911 and wait. by the time they respond, the crime is over. One sturdy answer is that some interior the inhabitants could desire to be armed. One individual can stop a shooting in a mall or a action picture theatre by a lone nut. lots of the present day (if not all) of the mass shootings have been carried out in gun loose zones. yet are you able to have faith a central authority to come to a decision who's able to hold a gun? certainly there are people who should not be armed. people who've a drug dependency, people who've a violent crime background, people who've crossed the line. yet now the US Gov't is making an attempt to dodge military veterans from being armed. The 2d modification protects the rights of electorate to be armed to guard themselves. Radical liberals including Obama choose to do away with weapons from the poulation (no count what he says, do not have faith him).. enable's take the main important "secret" in background and tutor that that's a lie, not the fact. interior the JFK assassination, a lone nut did not kill JFK, it develop into an prepared conspiracy. How do i be attentive to? I wrote a e book exhibiting evidence that a conspiracy killed President Kennedy. And it wasn't purely a set of nuts, it develop into organic means from intense up interior the US government. interior the final financial ruin, I assist you be attentive to who it develop into yet by that element, you already be attentive to because of the fact the lies that have been informed are greater than you will ever have faith. a central authority that could tell a lie this vast can tell any lie they choose to. Your premise is relatively suited. yet you disregarded those on top of problems with the government, a number of them are nuts too. a central authority won't be able to be allowed to come to a decision who could be armed. In liberal states, they combat to say no one and that's clearly not the suited answer.

Answer 4

Because your allow nuts to get guns without any checks.
Because guns make it so easy to kill people
Because every other country in the world identifies America as being an excessively violent country who cannot be trusted with weapon of "class" destruction.
Because your jails are full.
Because you have more restrictions on stuffed teddy bears than guns.
Because the immature gun mentality runs into every aspect of American life, the answer to any problem is "kill them"
Because the majority of guns are bought to kill! (even if its for defense)

Answer 5

Because it would be politically incorrect to 'label' the nut a 'nut' until he actually acts upon his delusions and kills someone (or in this case 32). So-you allow mentally disturbed people (even those who are 'an immenent danger') loose in society and allow them to purchase guns and then when they slaughter the innocent--you can say SEE, I told you so!

Answer 6

You are EXACTLY correct. The wacko democommies are pushing for MORE gun control when their political correctness enabled this wacko to purchase a gun LEGALLY and to roam about for several years when some KNEW he was a danger and OTHERS THAT NEEDED TO KNOW DID NOT KNOW because of the liberals political correctness. They are "barking up the wrong tree" They need to do away with this individual rights 100% political correctness and start paying some attention to society's rights to LIVE.

Answer 7

I agree. We have to test and pass a "check" to get a drivers license. Why not a test for a gun?

Answer 8

EXACTLY!

They need to concentrate on making sure that when people are showing the signs that Cho did. Instead of letting them be and only SUGGESTING therapy.

Take action before something like this happens.

Answer 9

Agreed and well put. There were signs that should have been red flags to people way before this incident happened. Something should have been done a looonnnnggg time ago. Now it's too late.

Answer 10

If guns didn't wind up in the hands of nuts, those nuts would be of no threat to society.
