Greetings.
I was a bit rash in some of my statements perhaps. When I say people disgust me, I mean people in general. No specific groups, just people. There are no problems in society that are not created by people. Whether or not a person is good does not have a necessary impact upon their actions. Environment, chemical imbalance, whatever the cause, people do bad things. No, I don't dare say I'm the one or could be one to judge, that would be lunacy. Nobody can judge, they can assume, yes, but not judge. It's simple cause and effect, more gun laws, less guns, equals less gun crime, but easier crimes to commit. Crimes that wouldn't perhaps otherwise take place. As I said, there are no easy solutions, but there are solutions. In fact, I've heard rumblings of psychiatric evaluations as part of the firearm purchasing process in addition to being tied to medical records. Get depressed? Get drugs? Red flag, seize their firearms until it has run it's course. That's a solution, that while good in theory, would lead to injustices. There simply aren't any solutions, well, perhaps many, that wouldn't see things get worse at first.
