I'm one person who questions the notion that anyone who takes a gun and
kills a whole bunch of people, is, by definition, mentally ill.

The guy that shot up the movie theatre in Aurora, Colorado was a PhD
student for crying out loud. He certainly had enough gray stuff between
his ears, and he knew the difference between right and wrong.


And you're claiming that just because "he's got a lot of gray stuff", the
gray stuff was functionning properly ??
Mental ilness is about the "grey stuff" functions, INDEPENDANT of how much
you may have
And NO, if the grey stuff is NOT working properly, you may NOT know the
difference between right and wrong.



Doing something horrible does not automatically mean that person is
crazy. Perfectly level headed people can decide to throw their life
away if they feel their life is so screwed up that it's not salvagable.
It's a stupid decision, it's desperation, but it's not mental illness.


It the act is "crazy" in comparison to general behavior, then guess what ?
So where did you do your studies in "mental health" ???


So, if the NRA wants the US Government to put together a list of
mentally ill people,


Where did you get the silly notion that
"the NRA wants the US Government to put together a list of mentally ill
people" ?
HELLO ?
Are you crazy ?


what about everyone who thinks their life has been
wasted and that they're a failure.


Stop talking about yourself...


We need to make a list of those
people to make sure they never get their hands on a gun, too.


Go ahead
Don't forget to put your name down first..
