      <![CDATA[Guns are not the problem.  They need to be guided by a person to do damage.  <br />
<br />
Neglectful parents who (to their benefit) didn't learn how to model constructive and pro-social behavior for their children are a dangerous, growing phenomenon in our society.<br />
<br />
Who's regulating/monitoring parenting skills?  Because we become parents doesn't give us a "free ticket" from having mental health and interpersonal communication issues which need attention. <br />
<br />
Metaphoric to a person who seeks to acquire a gun -  a parent who is not "qualified" (has no "background check" or monitoring done for parenting/communication skills) is potentially very dangerous.  Further, parents "wrap their hands around" a child, guide/"aim" their direction, and, ultimately, pull the trigger.<br />
<br />
What we really need to give our attention to is not the gun, but who's behind the trigger?<br>

      <![CDATA[Hey Cascadian Bacon, a world where the government doesn't have a monopoly on force is just as fantastic as a world full of unicorns, rainbows, and happiness.  The U.S government has a monopoly on force.  Until the day comes when private citizens have access to aircraft carriers, bunker busters, tanks, submarines, drones, artillery, fighter jets, bombers, grenade launchers, land mines, torpedoes, etc., etc., the government will always have a monopoly on force.  I hate that, too.  It sucks sooooooooo bad.  I really, really, really hate it.  But it's the truth. In the event of a civil war, we will have to do what we did during the American revolution and hope enough of the army breaks away to the good side and brings weapons with it.  Until then, we just have to actually participate in government and make sure it doesn't get so bad that we have to fight a war.  At the moment the only use for guns is personal safety and hunting, and we don't need anything more than pistols and single shot rifles for that.

      <![CDATA[Now I'm second guessing whether it was appropriate to post that.  I'm not sure Kevin meant the song as any kind of response or comment on the tragedy.  But I listened to it while reading the news and it made me cry.<br />
<br />
The lyrics express a parent's love for her child and her hopes for the child's life.  But they seemed to take on a new meaning in the context of today.<br />
<br />
At least it makes me think of the memory of the children for a moment, instead of the rancor of guns and politics.

<br />
<a href="http://youtu.be/8OVnNePQPsQ" rel="nofollow">Patti Smith - The Jackson Song</a><br />
<br />
"Patti Smith and her husband, Fred, wrote this song for their son Jackson when he was two years old."<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
Little blue dreamer go to sleep<br />
Let's close our eyes and call the deep<br />
slumbering land that just begins<br />
When day is done and little dreamers spin<br />
<br />
First take my hand now let it go<br />
Little blue boy you're on your own<br />
Little blue wings as those feet fly<br />
Little blue shoes that walk across the sky<br />
<br />
May your path be your own<br />
But I'm with you<br />
And each day you'll grow<br />
He'll be there too<br />
And someday when you go<br />
We'll follow you<br />
As you go, as you go<br />
<br />
Little blue star that offers light<br />
Little blue bird that offers flight<br />
Little blue path where those feet fall<br />
Little blue dreamer won't you dream it all<br />
<br />
Refrain<br />
<br />
And in your travels you will see<br />
Warrior wings remember Daddy<br />
And if a mama bird you see<br />
Folding her wings will you remember me<br />
As you go, as you go<br />
As you go, as you go<br />

      <![CDATA[@140<br />
No I am saying that I am uncomfortable putting myself in a situation where my firearm could be taken away as I am not using police level retention for a small pocket pistol and would not be able to do so without open carrying a full sized pistol on a gun belt. I am also obeying the regulations of my workplace.<br />
<br />
At work I have less than 1 minute until assistance arrives, compare that with the over 10 minute average response time of a 911 call when on the streets. As the saying goes, "I carry a gun because I can't carry a cop."

      <![CDATA[And while you're composing a reply saying I'm complicit here, let me say that I'm in favor of universal gun registration.  I'm in favor of immediate impoundment of guns from people seeking mental health care, or assigned a mental health assesment, or however that would work.  I'm in favor of immediate impoundment in cases of domestic violence reports.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, I'm afraid enacting anything like this would lead to huge numbers (dozens, hundreds, thousands?) of similar massacres as the nuttiest 1% of gun nuts decided to go out in a blaze of glory.  Specifically targeting places where they think they could most hurt "liberals," like schools and malls in blue cities, most likely.  I really wish I was wrong about that.<br />
<br />
I also wish the NRA would put their money toward victim reparations, instead of buying politicians.  That's probably the least likely outcome of anything in this thread.  It's almost literally the least they could do.  I might even join their club, if they did that.

I do not carry at work per policy, nor do I think it would be safe to do in a cramped environment where one is often working alone with psychotic individuals. Back when I worked mental health even the police had to lock up their weapons before entry. I also think that you would be surprised at the number of your coworkers who carry but just never mentioned it.

      <![CDATA[@131 sure aggression happens, but I certainly don't get weekly specific death threats. The last thing I would want when dealing with an aggressive patient is Joe Shmoe male nurse (I assume) pulling a gun out of his scrubs bottoms. Where do you even keep it?!? A gun fanny pack? Maybe you're security? I am trying to understand what would be so threatening to you that you need to carry a gun to a workplace that any number of pregnant women, normal men and middle aged tough ladies navigate just fine without one  <br />
<br />
But that's the thing about pro-gun people. They're scared shitless for usually no good reason. I also don't like people using their special position (emergency medicine ooooh) to trick laypeople into thinking their paranoia is justified.

CNN identified Ryan Lanza as the shooter two hours ago, and now they're not mentioning the name, even though they don't seem to have retracted the original statement.  It now appears it was his brother Adam.  I can't imagine having a worse day than Ryan Lanza right now.

      <![CDATA[And in the real world, here's the kind of action that's being taken on gun control: it's being dismantled. Check out the bill passed YESTERDAY in Ohio, that among other things eliminates the requirement that gun owners show competency when they renew their concealed-carry permits. When the Republican governor signs this bill, all you have to do is show your expiring license every time you renew, until the end of time.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.nraila.org/legislation/state-legislation/2012/12/ohio-pro-gun-reform-legislation-passes-both-chambers,-sent-to-governor-for-his-signature.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.nraila.org/legislation/state-&hellip;</a><br />
<br />
Also, the magazine ban proposed in the US Senate by Lautenberg, Schumer and Feinstein is permanently stalled.<br />
<br />
So tell me more about your tiny incrementalist suggestions and how well they're doing in legislation.

      <![CDATA[the fact that their state bans on assault rifles didn't limit this guys access isn't an excuse, its the problem.  From juancole.com:<br />
<br />
 Lax gun laws and inadequate security checks in Mississippi, West Virginia and Kentucky and 7 other states meant that they supplied nearly half the 43,000 guns traced to crime scenes in other states in one recent year. The guns aren’t randomly acquired, and they aren’t used or Saturday night specials. They come disproportionately from specific states.

<br />
Americans woke up on November 7 having elected a Democratic president, expanded the Democratic majority in the Senate, and preserved the Republican majority in the House.<br />
<br />
<b>That's not what they voted for, though. Most Americans voted for Democratic representation in the House.</b> The votes are still being counted, but as of now it looks as if Democrats have a slight edge in the popular vote for House seats, 49 percent-48.2 percent, according to an analysis [1] by the Washington Post. Still, as the Post's Aaron Blake notes, the 233-195 seat majority the GOP will likely end up with represents the GOP's "second-biggest House majority in 60 years and their third-biggest since the Great Depression..."</blockquote><a href="http://www.motherjones.com/print/206481" rel="nofollow">http://www.motherjones.com/print/206481</a>
