Why do people want guns? Is the threat of an intruder breaking in really that great? Most burglaries happen in the daytime when people are at work. They deliberately choose empty houses because they are easier. The people who would break into your home with some sinister purpose like murder or rape are really very few. And even then I wouldn't want to get their blood on my upholstery!!! That part was a joke.....

I sleep on my own when Rick's working nights, I have instructions that if anyone were to break in I use the alice cooper baseball bat to knock them down the stairs!!

Here too....and that is wrong. This famous case over her involved a farmer shooting a teenager in the back, so becaue he was already running away it wasn't classed as self defence. I think he got jailed for it.

They're now saying he's mentally ill demeded so by a court in 2005 and he spent time in a mental hospital. But what pisses me off about this is that now that's out they're all asking students how they feel about a mentally ill person being able to go to school there. So what now? no one with a mental disorder so be aloud to go to school? even though the huge majority of mentally ill people are not a threat to other people. I can be considered to have a mental disorder Clinical Depression with a Mood Disorder not otherwise specified but that would never mean I would intentionally hurt anyone. I can assure you he was not the only one with a mental disorder on that campus he was just the only one who decided to kill people.
And his rant on rich bitchs from what I rememebr seeing his family didn't look like they lived in any slum. The house I saw was rather nice and I'm sure it coast a bit of money for him to attend that school. Oh yeah and his sister works for the government.

Because they like them. I really like knives and swords more but Rick really likes guns and I like them too I just don't know as much about them as he does. But I tell you when we get some best believe I'm going to learn all I can about them. They're powerful objects that should be respected. They aren't toys.

Yep and his family had enough money to send him to University. Boo hoo. I do feel sorry for his family though--can you imagine how you'd feel if that was your kid?

Actually, I'm recanting on feeling sorry for his family. After listening more carefully to the details of his mental illness I'm wondering where the fuck *was* his family while he was having a complete mental breakdown?? His room-mates have said they didn't see his family once during the whole time they knew him.

Well many minority families view mental illness as shameful so it's not surprising that they would react this way. Many won't get them help and believe they don't need it. Also I have to say many people who have mental illnesses often stop taking their meds and also taking meds does not make all your symptoms go away. Even while on meds people will still feel depressed, hear or see things or have seviere parionia at times. A lot of times the drugs don't take it all away it just makes it less of an occurance or more bearable.

Why does the Bush administration have a list of everyone who has ever used anti-depressants?
by John Aravosis (DC) · 4/18/2007 02:39:00 PM ET

Guess what? They do. From ABC News, regarding the VA Tech shooter:
Some news accounts have suggested that Cho had a history of antidepressant use, but senior federal officials tell ABC News that they can find no record of such medication in the government's files. This does not completely rule out prescription drug use, including samples from a physician, drugs obtained through illegal Internet sources, or a gap in the federal database, but the sources say theirs is a reasonably complete search.
We don't even have a list of gun owners, and we have a list of everyone who has been prescribed anti-depressants? And in fact, the article suggests that this isn't just a database of patients who use anti-depressants, it's a federal database of every prescription drug you've ever bought.

What exactly do the Bushies do with that list? And what other lists do they have of which medications you've ever taken?

The Bush amdinistration is weird, period. Also, his cheif of staff is very good at his job. I was quite surprised at how he spun a positive situation out of a negative one.
