Capital on Lockdown

[WelshBloke]

Not me. I feel as sad for the shooter as I do for the family of the woman who was shot.

He's going to feel guilty, they have been deprived of a family member, you really think those two things are equivalent?

He will have to live his life remembering that the thing he was trying to prevent probably wasn't on the table.

Maybe that will bother him, maybe it wont. What will happen is he'll still be alive for his kids unlike the lady he shot.

I bet also that if a terrorist were driving that car he'd have been a national hero.

Are we going to treat every incident as if the people involved are potential suicide bombers? 'Cos thats going to suck.

It makes me sad too that I hear in your post such anger. Makes me what to hug you.

Hugs are good. So is not shooting people when theres no need.

Why is that such a critical component? Couldn't they have just made something up, or accessed her records if they were making it all up (that she was on meds)?

To me as a pharmacy major, saying she was on two medications that she recently stopped taking; one that is used for schizophrenia and the other for depression; doesn't tell us why she was on them.

Also one usually doesn't go on a rampage like this with their baby in the car.

Things don't add up on what happened between her leaving her place (and why) and what happened at the capitol.

19 of the last 20 "mass shootings" were done by people who were on, or had recently stopped taking, doctor-prescribed psychotropic drugs... so, seriously, what's there to explain?

If she wasn't a total nutcase before she started taking the meds, then I'm sure those "wonderful" pills -- each with possible side effects including hallucinations, suicidal thoughts, AND homicidal thoughts -- pushed her straight over the edge without a chute.

Crazy is as crazy does. Welcome to modern medicine.

I am not sure what side of the fence you are on.

Why don't they just make it illegal to go crazy? That should stop the needless killing of unarmed threats.

I have a brain defect which evokes anger at those who would shoot an unarmed women as she runs away...I'm just funny that way I guess.

The only solution is federalized restrictions on gun ownership similar to machine guns. Gun owners would need to update their licenses every year. Also, gun ownership should probably be limited to those over the age of 35. Young people with guns is a recipe for disaster.

And I'd like to see you tossed in a pit of hungry tigers, but we can't always get what we want.

What rampage? Made a wrong turn off a street. Found a gate and a security officer who scared her.

Only thing she did was panic and make a run for it.

Seriously?!

Way to miss the f'n point.

The 34-year-old Connecticut woman who led police on a chase last week from the White House to the U.S. Capitol was driving in reverse when officers opened fire on her car, killing her near a guard house, according to a search warrant affidavit made public Tuesday.

The rampage is what the media is reporting. Even if correct, you don't bring your baby with you.

You need to see the forest through the trees.

I am new to P&N.

What you saying? She deserved to die or live?

I wasn't there.

My guess? Yes, it was probably a good shoot.

I didn't miss the point. We all would be safer and happier if we implemented federal restrictions on all gun ownership similar to machine gun ownership. It really is that simple. Responsible sane people in good standing with the government could still have their weapons. It is win-win for everybody.

As a gun owner/hunter myself (Remington 700 : WSM, Winchester 94 : 30-30, S&W Chiefs Special : 45), I would welcome and celebrate more federal gun regulation. I am frankly mystified by the NRA types that are impeding smart and needed FEDERAL gun regulation. I do agree however that STATE gun regulation will not get the job done.

You can have Federal gun regulation when we have federal voter regulation: responsible, sane people in good standing with the government can vote if they update their licenses every year.

Completely fine by me. If thats what it takes to get 'er done, I'm all in.

Is that all it would take to get you NRA types to back federal gun regulation?

That is how compromise works: you give me something I want, I give you something you want.

I'll have a much easier time convincing the NRA than you will the NAACP. Good luck.

Actually, you just completely missed the point... AGAIN! Amazing.

Here's a hint: it had nothing to do with guns or gun laws -- neither of which are the problem.

Hint #2: the key words in my post were "psychotropic drugs," not the words "mass shootings."

Good luck! looks like you may need to phone-a-friend, or something...
