"Tom Fuentes, a former FBI assistant director who's a CNN contributor, described Dupnik's remarks as "a very emotional response by a very frustrated, hurt sheriff."
When media cover "hateful" public statements by officials or television personalities, those remarks are often framed as "they're exciting their base," Fuentes said.
"Law enforcement executives out there know, like this sheriff, that it also excites the lunatic fringe," Fuentes told CNN. "In this country, we have no shortage of mentally unbalanced people, and it seems in case after case, they have no trouble obtaining firearms. So when they go over the edge and go public and try to initiate an attack, this is what happens."
It's just amazing how so many people on this forum are in denial that there's a gun violence problem in the USA.

QuoteQuoteNo
The problem is much much bigger than guns
It has more to do with the direction of this country
...and the overall solution is so simple, yet unfathomably complex.
Enforce the law.
CBS this moring reported he had purchased a Glock semi auto legally about a month ago.
So, to respond to kallend, yes, there is (or at least seems to be) a problem with this guy being able to purchase a gun (not a private sale either kallend). So how does a country or a state identify guys like this and keep him from getting a gun without stepping on the rights on non-nutters?
So one more person now recognizes that the current state of the laws on firearms is inadequate. Baby steps.

So concealed carry permits should be mandatory so we can defend ourselves from said violence...

QuoteHonestly, I don't know why the professor is so caught up with guns that he turnedthis into a gun thread.
Lets see:
John Kennedy assassination - gun
Bobby Kennedy assassination -gun
MLK assassination - gun
Reagan assassination attempt - gun
John Lennon - gun
Columbine - gun
VTech massacre - gun
This mass murder and assassination attempt - gun
Wow - anyone see a pattern that Kennedy can't fathom?

Enforce the law.
The law is enforced, if a person buys a firearm at a gun shop. Even then, If a person has no paper trail back to prison or a mental institution, there is no reason why that person cannot buy a gun. Even then, a person may have no ill intention at the time they buy a gun. It could be years down the road or as early as right now when the next legal or illegal gun owner goes around the bend and shoots up a crowd.

go up thread a bit and read... we have a horrible violence problem. If the guns went away, I don't believe things would get "all better".
You've been asked several times to post your suggestions. You apparently have none except to complain. I've seen several suggestions or enumerations of possibilities. But none from you.
