Breaking: They have released the name of another mass shooter...(a rant)

[The Straight Story]

His name is...Bush.

He has assisted in the killing of thousands of people whom, in his deranged mind, were a threat to him but never really were.

Yes, he got his guns legally. Hell, he even got to go and kill a ton of people legally based on his deranged lies.

If you're worried about your neighbor having guns...well, maybe ya need to worry more about the few in power having them than the folks down the street (after all, how many of the total guns in circulation are used in a crime compared to the total?).

A lone gunman walks into a classroom and kills some people, and we are up in arms about it. A lone President kills a ton more people because of his own mental issues and he walks and is praised by others.

And you're upset because I can get a gun?

We don't need to worry right now about whether Joe Six Pack can get a hunting rifle, we need to worry about how money is taken from your paycheck each week and spent on weapons that some crazy guy is using to kill people that were never a threat to us - but he believed to be.

People are dying everyday from guns, and it's not because you or I have them - it is because the only people some folks trust with them are using them to kill others.

I will trust my fellow citizen with a gun faster than I will bush or others in government, thank you.

If ya want more regulation, focus it on the people in power and how they use weapons. Then come talk to me.

1. I'm upset because the system failed here & a bunch of people dead/traumatized.

I'm upset over mrbush too of course, but this last shooting, the system didn't work. From previous mental health issues, to military discharges (can the military be held liable for discharging a known violent person and not following up? I don't know that this was the total case here, but wondering), to background checks, to lack of affordable non-stigmatic mental health care.

That's what I'm upset about.

3. Kinda Scary

No one knows when he will imagine another bomb or mass weapon. Maybe the lord told him to do it. Crazy people often get messages. They think people are out to get them. He was a recovering drunk when he made the white house.

4. Bush and cheney

are psychopaths Cheney shot his friend in the face and tried to cover it up. Yet no one took away Cheney's guns.He is obviously dangerous. Meanwhile bush is killing tons of people..They both need to be disarmed before they destroy this planet.
