At least a hint?

The thing that has been most discussed - over the past few days...gun control

sorry I did not specifically state what it was about.

Well it was lengthy and had no solution - RC

:/

That WAS lengthy and interesting. As usual, - backwards typist

there was no solution because there really IS no solution. I watched the video from those in Australia and found that highly informative.

I also read a lot of the comments and as usual, a bunch of nasty people name-calling others because they don't agree with either the writer or others who comment or give suggestions.

DH had a "solution" last night. The only way school shootings will stop is to home school everyone; i.e., cyber schools.

There are suggestions not to publicize the names of these shooters, etc. because of the "credit" these shooters get - their so-called 15 minutes of fame and copycat shooters wouldn't be so quick to try the same thing. The governor of Colorado refused to name the shooter for that reason.

I would tend to agree - with all that you say...OP

There really is no solution. Your DH had a good idea about home schooling and/or cyber schools. I have been thinking the same thing for years. It would also end schoolhouse bullying, and maybe some of these "shooters" would not feel so "victimized" by the other students and go on a rampage, although that is no doubt only part of their problems, as well.

I also agree about not publicizing the shooters names, etc., but then the public would be complaining that they "need to know," not that I see how it matters. It would definitely take away the "fame" aspect of it. good thinking from you and your DH, although I am sure some will disagree, but what else is new.

Well written, elaborate and logical, yet repulsive reductionist argument - for doing nothing

by trying to strictly confine discussion context to Lanza and Sandy Hook. Straw-woman Megan McArdle presumes the ultimate goal is pie-in-the-sky zero crime in a perfect world. Back here in the real world, we strive to reduce these numbers to the very best of our fallible mortal abilities, while staying mindful of the human tragedy and national shame those numbers represent.

agree - nm

interesting points. The article is about the ban. It seems to me that the president should continue, as both Bush and Obama did, on putting new and adventagious things in the vetting process. We can always improve on things but an all-out ban to me is not adventagious. The video in this touches on a few other points. Perhaps listen with an open mind and maybe you will see how this "fine tuned" machine is running. ...

hid her pregnancy and gave birth to twin boys in her parent's house and smothered them so her parents wouldn't hear them cry. She hid the babies' bodies in the laundry basket where her dad later found them. So...just curious if this is acceptable to some of you who declare women have a choice. Perhaps it would have been better had she went to a doctor and had the doctor deliver them breech and suck their brains out and crush their skull before he delivered their ...

No matter how much you hate him this is a good article. Cut him down all you want but it won't change the truth. Here's a quote from the article: Mr. Bush said that "the role of government is not to create wealth, but to create the conditions that allow entrepreneurs and innovators to thrive." I wish it was someone else who has said this because a lot of people sole purpose is hating and cutting him down, which diminishes from the importance of the article. http://www ...

Ofcourse, LBJ wisely took the exit ramp early, avoiding a shove into oncomingtraffic by his own party. Richard Nixon indeed resigned in disgrace, ...

Not really surprising how much of it goes to Muslim or Arab countries, but what the money is actually used for was an eye opener for me. Most Arab countries are oil rich....so my question is, why can't they take care of their own military and police forces and let us put some of those billions against reducing the deficit? Or...why not use that money to fund some of the programs people seem to think they can't live without within THIS country instead of ADDING to the deficit? ...
