If your therapist doesn't trust you with a gun, you can't buy one. Yeah. That's an idea that I'm sure would be embraced by the NRA.Ron Davisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11972794876337195698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13075276.post-86469325430851064022007-04-18T18:14:00.000-04:002007-04-18T18:14:00.000-04:00This guy left a trial of bread crumbs that even a ...This guy left a trial of bread crumbs that even a blind man could have followed.<BR/>There were several interventions including required counseling.<BR/>Still..without any direct threats, I don't see what the University could have done.<BR/>I'm interested in your second amendment perspective and if you are against gun control..should noncitizens also be allowed to purchase guns?American Crusaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289577534372163973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13075276.post-12019587461010155112007-04-18T12:21:00.000-04:002007-04-18T12:21:00.000-04:00PS- I linked to this post on my blog, and people a...PS- I linked to this post on my blog, and people are leaving comments over there instead of clicking over to here.

I don't think many would have faulted authorities had they taken a closer look.<BR/><BR/>I think families have to be involved somehow. Most people want their loved ones to get help, and would take advantage of mental health care if was available.<BR/><BR/>(I realize that's pretty non-specific, but it's all I've got.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13075276.post-951233054166365572007-04-17T20:28:00.000-04:002007-04-17T20:28:00.000-04:00I have a good friend that's a twenty-five year pol...I have a good friend that's a twenty-five year police veteran. He's said much that you write about.<BR/><BR/>What he doesn't say, but sometimes implies is that front line people, in extreme circumstances sometimes creatively intervene. That might involve interpretation of what they've seen or heard. It might involve some fabrication of some facts.<BR/><BR/>A recent story he told me, that I won't repeat, because it might come back to bite someone, involved a policeman wracking his brain to find a way to help a very messed up citizen. As the story was related, what was done was very matter of fact. What wasn't said was that none of what was done was by any stretch, part of the job description. <BR/><BR/>Life just isn't easy. Yes, I dearly want the shooter to have been discovered before yesterday. I also dearly cherish our country's promise of freedom. Just isn't easy.<BR/><BR/>Nice post.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04411527807049220749noreply@blogger.com
