The news today released some of the manifesto rants of Chris Mercer, who was in his mind sane. Chris Mercer killed nine people and himself at Umpqua College in Roseberg Oregon.
The news, now vilifying those who rant or journal. We may be creating more problems than trying to figure out how to stop the violence.
Our President wants more gun control laws passed. Families who had a loved one killed want more gun control passed.
These situations remind me of the bear stories in Alaska. The bears attack when they feel threatened or their young have been separated from them. It is a stress response.
America has cut mental health services down to half of what they were at one time. The government stating the states need to create their own services, our tax dollars gone for these services.
Our society didn't want monies given out to these kind of services.
We want to blame the guns, but this isn't a gun problem, the problem is people. People, males primarily, who have so much anger they can't channel it out of themselves without help. Who do we get to help?
Each shooting had the same issue, anger, fear, deep seeded resentments. The people couldn't or wouldn't let go of. And we sit around demanding change to cut down gun sales. This is not an efficient action to stop the violence.
