[QUOTE="twoguns?, post: 2798024, member: 7012"] "Given the fact that Mercer[B] lived for a time [/B]with his mother during his adult years, was [B]noticed to be peculiar [/B]by neighbors and had acquaintances online, I would venture that more than one person knew he was not well. [B]If the president had a son like Chris Mercer, believe me, he would not be content to have his ill son live in a country where he could not procure firearms quite as easily. He would want his son’s disorder definitively diagnosed and definitively treated.[/B] I do not know whether he ever got anything like comprehensive help, but it is hard to believe he could have, given what happened Thursday. Violence of the kind perpetrated by Chris Mercer[B] is always preventable [/B]through a combination of psychotherapy, proper medications and hospitalizations when needed. Period. [B]There is no exception. [/B] But people like Chris Mercer keep falling through the cracks of our shattered, sorry excuse for a mental health care system. [B]This is tragic and unnecessary, because outreach and screening systems could be put in place that would be neither prohibitively expensive, nor an impingement on anyone’s liberty.[/B] One of the hurdles in the way of building a system to prevent killings like those that occurred in Oregon is that politicians like President Obama turn such tragedies into reprehensible calls for gun control, rather than proper calls to rebuild the mental health care system." Surely you don't believe this...hogwash... Its about Control...not students getting killed......It happened in a "Gun Free Zone" [/QUOTE]
