mass murders caused by mental illness, not guns

[caserio1]

no shit?  really ?

you mean the mental illness that the gun imparts to a shooter

you know like the power of life and death

or the power of administering justice

or the power of visiting revenge on somebody............anybody

that gun focused power ?

the first symptom is when a mental case loudly offers to kill anybody that

comes on his property uninvited

WRONG AGAIN OH STUPID ONE, BUT WHAT'S NEW YOU ARE ALWAYS WRONG!

[caserio1]

interesting

by your statement you admit that you do not consider mass murder

is mostly caused by mental illness

well, you're wrong

[sine-qua-non]

Mass murder is the pervue of Govt's  which is the leading

cause of death in this world.

sooooooo caserio if Obama is going to "campaign" - (someone needs to tell our lame duck prez the election is over and so is his "campaign") re gun laws with that lie of yours.... you extremist radicals are sunk.

But then why is it again? - that you all are inaccurately choosing to engage in - lumping all guns or all gun owners or all mentally ill - in one box or category - or blaming the gun always or some other ridiculous Huff Post inaccurate inflammatory headline -  like only the mentally ill use a gun in the commission of a "mass" crime  - as you leftists are all choosing to do post Newtown Connecticut mass murder

Taking guns away from single women who live alone and other law-abiding citizens without mental illnesses will do nothing about the Chos, Loughners, Holmeses or Lanzas. Such people have to be separated from civil society, for the public’s sake as well as their own.

But this is nearly impossible because the ACLU has decided that being psychotic is a civil right.

What changed? Our mental health system is what changed — a movement towards emptying out mental hospitals and making it difficult to commit someone against his will. This is called deinstitutionalization. This is an idea so theoretically elegant that it has been taking place everywhere.

In 1950, a person who was behaving oddly stood a good chance of being hospitalized. It might be for observation for a few days or a few weeks. If the doctors decided that this person was mentally ill, they would be committed, perhaps for a few months, perhaps longer. Hospital space was always at a premium, so generally, if someone was kept, there was a reason for it. The notion that large numbers of sane people were kept for no reason just has not survived research.

I knew that there were a lot of mentally ill mass murderers out there — but even I was shocked at the dozens of examples that my research unearthed over the last three decades. People like Larry Gene Ashbrook, a mentally ill person who gave plenty of warning. He wrote letters to local papers that “referred to encounters with the CIA, psychological warfare, assaults by co-workers and being drugged by police.” His strange behavior brought him to the attention of the police — who were helpless to take action, until Ashbrook murdered seven people in a Fort Worth church in 1999.

Or Russell Eugene Weston Jr., who was the gold standard of violent mental illness. After he shot two police officers at the U.S. Capitol in 1999, he explained that it was to stop the epidemic of Black Heva, a disease spread by the cannibals that were feeding on corpses — all part of an elaborate government conspiracy that Weston was going to stop. Weston, too, had previous mental health problems that were recognized — but he could not be held, in spite of his obvious dangerousness at least to himself, and probably to others.

I could give you a complete list of mass murderers who were recognized by family and friends as mentally ill and who refused treatment. Authorities were helpless to hospitalize them because of our wonderfully beautiful but completely absurd theories of civil liberties. This list would run on for very many pages.

How many more of these tragedies do we have to watch before we say, “Wow! Great theory! It didn’t work. Let’s reconsider this matter.” I’m afraid it is going to be a lot more tragedies before we start facing the harsh truth.
