It was only a matter of time

[Kangaroo Feathers]

This matters how?

Because it offers a fig leaf of deniability about this being a problem?

 

[Kangaroo Feathers]

I suppose your point can remain sharp enough
after all, pulling the trigger indicates intent to kill?

Do you think people being shot in a mass shooting but not actually dying is not a problem worthy of address?

No, let's finish discussing your earlier point first. Why are only mass shooting deaths cause for concern?

i believe I have already conceded......mass shootings are a concern

maybe guns in church is now the topic?

Maybe this will help you set down that sack of bricks:

Great. Thanks very much. Just when my therapist and I had managed to erase those images.

This brings me back to my point about the perception in the media where if there are gang shootings the media portrays it as cultural whereas when it's done solo it is psychological.

I'd say the difference in how it is handled is that gang related shootings and murders occur every single day in cities all across the United States year in and year out and the mass shootings occur intermittently.

You are welcome, and as far as therapists are concerned have you ever really looked at that word and seperated the two parts? - the rapist, but it's not a physical rape, it's a rape of the mind.

I notice that people who lean towards gun banning never cite statistics about
guns being used in legitimate self defense. It's an incomplete argument which
paints a false picture of what would actually happen if they had their way.
Just as in accounting, one must deal with both debits & credits.

Way to pile on!!!

So gang members cant have psychiatric issues?

Mind-altering drugs, indoctrination and radicalisation all have the same effect.

Acid throwing is the new weapon of choice here in the UK. Anyone who does that to another human being has psychiatric issues.

That doesn't answer the question. Psychiatric medicine is mind altering.
