Yeah, suicide does come from depression... The fact is that with 300,000,000 guns in the US there seems to be one within reach when people suffer from the lows of depression... Throw in the fact that we aren't spending any money on mental health and the abundance of readily available and loaded guns everywhere you look it's no wonder that we are seeing 14,000 suicides a year...

I mean, let's get real here... This shooting in Arizona ain't the first of these and won't be the last.... Just today a couple of kids in school in LA got shot... I mean, WTF??? We have a series of major disconnects with sane policies in this country... Too many guns and too many people with serious mental problems on the street... Throw in the "2nd amenders" and we are in the perfect storm for more and more Tucsons... Used to be that we'd get a postal worker once a year... Now they are comin' in droves...

Do you realize that I can be the most insane person you know, drive to Richmond and buy an AK-47 (with the book on how to make it an automatic weapon) and walk, yes fuckin' walk, to the Virginia General Assembly with it in plain sight and sit in the gallery of the House of Delegates with a fully loaded AK-47 watching the proceedings and I have broken not one law???

That, my friends, is insane policy!!! Check it out!!! Yeah, the Virginia General Assembly is going to take up a repeal of the law they passed allowing people to come to government building packing heat but the NRA values $$$$$$$$$$$$ over life so until some somabich opens fire and kills about 45 General Assembly members in some fit of madness then the NRA is gonna get what it wants... What next??? AK-47s in the US Capitol in the hands of the spectators in the gallery???

I mean, this is insanity... 300 million fucking guns for 318 million people, half of them kids or in nursing homes, and we wonder why the US is the murder capitol of the so-called developed-nations world???

Beam me up, Scotty... There is no sanity left here...
