You are naive indeed.

You can't see what Clarion was trying to say because you just don't think that way.

But if you read one of Clarion's followups, he/she brought up Marburg Disease which is from Germany and is primarily white. If Clarion already knew about both, why choose Ebola?

Ronald Reagan ans the Commitment of the Mentally Ill: Capital, Interest Groups and the Eclipse of Social Policy by Alexander R. Thomas

Jeff Cooper/Meet the NRA Leadership

If you can find these articles, they will more than buttress what I have said. Even if you do not read it, someone else tht read these forums will.

There are a lot of myths out there about Ronald Reagan.

My only point is that if that's all we address, we aren't addressing the real problem, mental illness. I don't have the solution, but I see that as the big issue.

OTP is right about the stigma people still place on being mentally ill. A lot of people who need medication or some form of help won't get help, because they don't want to admit they have a problem.

Welcome back! Haven't seen you post for a while.

We certainly have to rethink how we deal with the mentally ill and troubled among us.

IMO, there really is no legitimate use for assault rifles and handguns.

I just had to get that one in for the likes of Clarion and AP. Me, I watch everyone, not just a particular demographic.

The NRA talking points are included in your assessment.

The problem isn't guns as much as it is ability to identify "crazy".

You don't need to ban guns. All you have to do is get a bunch of white conservatives like Clarion and they can tell you, just by looking, who a THUGZ is.

Oh, well, since this was another clean-cut looking white boy, I doubt it.

Would you have recognized that the clean cut white boy in portland was a THUGZ! You seem to have such an insight in Memphis on who is a THUGZ and who is not.

Most murders and assaults in the city of Memphis are the result of personal feuds and/or vendettas against two known people.
