Doctor Disobeys Gun Free Zone -- Saves Lives Because of It
modulousYes it's a coincidence. That's the most likely outcome from trying to draw conclusions from the position of a single data point. I'm not sure if you think that the culture of a Spanish speaking Caribbean colony a thousand miles from the mainland is representative of the US as a whole, but that seems a strange position to take.
In any event, you have shifted the discussion from spree killers to killers in general. The video here is about a guy who might have stopped a spree killer (but almost certainly didn't), and did shoot a mentally ill person. You raise European comparisons, so let's do that. Let's look at Europe's recent spree killers (from wiki)
Borel, Eric, 1995, legal weapons stolen from family
Leibacher, Friedrich Heinz, 2001, legal weapons
Bogdanovič, Ljubiša, 2013, legal I believe
Izquierdo, 1990, legal I think
Radosavljević, Nikola, 2007, legal
Zavistonovičius, Leonardas, 1998, legal
Durn, Richard, 2002, legal
Harman, Ľubomír, 2010, legal
There's the top 8 by deaths (excl. the UK ones already mentioned). All using legally held weapons. There may be a pattern emerging here...
Your "refutations" are, for the most part, self-defeating, so I will allow others to do their own research and come to their own conclusions rather than addressing each one. Suffice it to say that gun-control, in the U.S. at least, starts as an anti-minority measure (not unlike the "war on drugs" and the "war on poverty") and spurs on a "dark economy" (or "underground economy"), not unlike what (eventually) felled the Soviet Union. It's not dissimilar to what's going on in Puerto Rico and, to some extent, the Bay Area (except NorCal doesn't have the feds all over them like Puerto Rico does, so violent crime is high in PR and low in Mendocino).
Is it purely a "coincidence" that Puerto Rico has a higher murder rate than almost anywhere else in the U.S, while citing as many as 50%+ of the people on "public assistance," is an epicenter on the "war on drugs" and has about the strictest gun control laws of anywhere in the U.S.?
But don't worry! Here's some good news!
"They found that a country like Luxembourg, which bans all guns has a murder rate that is 9 times higher than Germany, where there are 30,000 guns per 100,000 people. They also cited a study by the U.S.National Academy of Sciences, which studied 253 journal articles, 99 books, 43 government publications, and it failed to find one gun control initiative that worked. . . . The Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, conceded that the results they found in their report was not what they expected to find."
I guess they didn't account for the fact that outlaws don't really care about laws! The nerve of some people...
Community - Dean Pelton's Rap (Episode Highlight)
YogiAnd that guy who played Kugler last episode was the creator of Arrested Development Mitchell Hurwitz. I'm starting to think Dan Harman is getting all the other smart creators into acting so he has no competition.
I too love Community.
And having Vince Gilligan in an episode where books were at the center of a drug-like deal, was great.
Disney's early racist cartoon character, Bosco
zombieaterInterestingly, the animators who drew up Bosco and Honey worked for Disney - Harman and Ising. Perhaps they later sold the rights to Warner Bros?
Rep. Jane Harman (D-CA) Flounders on Wolf Blitzer
mkknyr says...This looked like it was about to become a large political controversy, but it's sort of been swept under the rug. Allegedly, Harman was caught by an NSA wiretap telling Israeli spies who were also AIPAC officials that she would lobby the Justice Dept. to drop the case in exchange for AIPAC lobbying Nancy Pelosi to appoint Harman chair of the House Intelligence Committee once the Democrats won the House in 2006.
"Rape in the Military" Congress Charges Coverups (6m)
quantumushroomIt is not unreasonable to assume one-half of Congress has only contempt for the US military and will do anything to make it look awful, if only to please their warped constituents.
Military personnel are more disciplined than the civilian population. They are taught history and tradition (or at least taught these things matter) and their morals and values tend to be higher than those of civilians if only because the rigors of the job test their character daily.
There are bad seeds in every organization; hearings like these typically end up being politically-motivated blanket condemnations of the Service. Rep. Harman's calling rape in the military an "epidemic" proves this point.
