Beto used to tell us that every election cycle. GOP still dominant regardless of these pronouncements of change. Talk is cheap.

How is this handled today with the very ill children of Christian Scientists? Can parents be charged with Manslaughter if the child dies? Does society step in and provide med intervention/treatment over the parents' objections?

Soooo many issues/problemd. Who determines "high risk?" That definition would be all over the map. Who pays for the hundreds of expensive institutions that would have to be built and find enough qualified people to staff them? The NIMBY issue. Nobody wants a mental institution in their back...

Would likely just mean that many people who NEED MH intervention would never seek it out. They'd never believe it wouldn't be used against them at some point. And, whaddaya do with the millions who already have ****nals in their homes while already getting Psych help? How do you get those...

I'm not sure but when "thoughts" like that are listed as side effects, it's usually referring to young people taking the med. Which fits your theory as males around 20 seem overly prone to these shootings.

I'm sure some were on meds (and very likely all of them should have been). I suspect if there's ANY correlation to their shooting a place up, it's because they went off their prescribed meds. That would be when they're most dangerous. Being on illegal drugs is a whole other thing. And, Ith...

A lot of people commit suicide. The compunction to take others out with you, though, where does THAT come from?

Wasn't hard. Only many millions more thought that a likely possibility too. These killers always seem to go that route.

I get what you're saying but still think at the level Trump operated in NYC and Atlantic City and elsewhere , he practiced more real, hard-knuckle politics than the pols in DC. He was more effective too. Don't sell his politician skills short (it's not a dirty word necessarily).

I guess that would be the high-end of the job. What the heck, though, did the Army do for decades before they had "Petroleum Specialists?" Maybe these "new" MOS's are a recruiting boon, to let recruits specialize in jobs. In this case, though, unless they are gonna work in civilian life in New...

I see Card was a "Petroleum Supply Specialist" in the Army. TBH never heard of that MOS. Acquires and dispenses petroleum to jeeps and other vehicles. Motor pool job?

Faces blown away on 8 of the 18 dead? Thats what I took from the presser. Weren't they carrying wallets? Maybe they were blasted away too?

Hilary and the Dems grossly underestimated him, and his appeal.

Don't kid yourself. Trump is THE consummate politician. To succeed in the cutthroat NYC real estate biz, it's a prime requirement.

Who thinks this killer is lying dead somewhere right now? In the deep woods or on his boat.

What kind of gun is he brandishing? The ubiquitous AR-15 type? I heard one guy last nite call it a "Sniper Rifle" with night scope.

Here we go: An account on X, with the name and apparent likeness of Maine shooting suspect Robert Card, demonstrated interest in a constellation of right-wing accounts. A recording of a scroll through the “likes” of the suspended account by the media site Heavy, showed that it marked posts by...

What choice do they have. The Parties gives them a 82 yr old vs a 79 yr old for President.

Exactly, thats what I'm saying.The GOP says mental health is the issue, not guns. Yet, would never go for confiscating guns from people clearly with head problems (in many cases serious ones).

Who would ever, if they valued their guns, EVER seek out mental health treatment? They'd be effectively signing those guns away.
