    I’m just saying that he killed 18 people, and there is a very real chance that if he was still alive he would try to do it again, even with treatment.

    And where are you getting this from? There’s no way you could know that.

    I can’t necessarily do anything about it myself, and groups of people have been trying to usher in healthcare reform for decades but we’re always blocked by lobbying groups, insurance companies that are worth billions, and people who simply don’t think it’s a useful way to spend money.

    If you think banning guns will solve the problem, what are you doing about it? It sure as hell looks like you’re doing the same thing as me, aren’t you?

      Where am I getting it from? History. It’s rare for people with mental health problems to suddenly cure themselves after a few rounds at the bowling alley. There is a very real chance he would do it again.

      And when did I say anything about banning guns? When did I say I was trying to help? I’m just here to argue with strangers.
