Politics, Gun Control, and Aurora

The unfortunate events of aurora and the... unfortunate events of sociial media is resulting in the heads of liberals, democrats, cavemen, and radicals.

What happened in Aurora was disgusting, from a man who understood how the human brain functions. How the human brain reacts to the trauma from such events. This is a man who failed, failed at life. Failed his family and failed his colleagues. A man who had nothing to gain and hit a bottom with nothing to lose. He understood how the mind reacts to the thought of suicide and depression. He doped himself to give himself the energy to do it. A man going for neuroscience PhD and had to withdraw for reasons unknown. However, reports and tweets point to him failing. Taking the chance of moving to a new location with new debt and new anxiety. He couldn't handle it. He couldn't talk to anyone. Even his mother didn't have much sympathy for those who were affected from his sons rash decisions.

His mom received mail and phone calls repeatedly for candid words. She decided to release a pretty vague and disinterested response.

He made his bed and is more than content to live with the consequences. Could more have been done to prevent it. Probably, could he have been stopped before he unloaded, most likely. Cops got there within 2 minutes. Which for the people in the theatre was an eternity. But, for all the shit people say about the police they managed to get in there and get control of the situation before things got way worse.

I applaud the efforts of those in uniform who helped the people in need. These kinds of things shouldn't happen.

For the thousandth time, I say enough is enough with guns being able to be 'beared' regardless of mental health check or any kind of stability check. They need more strict gun laws. The UK has quite a bit fewer gun-orientated crimes. In no way should a person be allowed to hold an automatic rifle unless in the military. It doesn't make sense logically.

But this vicious of a crime makes it harder to understand why guns should be sold on street corners. An AR-15 is an automatic rifle that is rarely used for hunting... Unless you are a terrible shot. Uzi's are sold willingly as well. But, why? What other reason would a person have for buying an automatic weapon

Tighten up the gun accessibility and do mental health checks, or get rid of guns all together.
