YoungWillz 21,046 Posted April 11, 2015 ^^ Hopefully not. Makes you think though....forgetting terrorism in this context (which is ideological in its randomness of fatality), the recognition of mental health issues, not just by the politicians, but the general public at large is still largely the sadness of our country, no matter how many announcements on policy are made just before a General Election. Yep, there will always be those who fall through the net, but all these years later, we don't seem to have learned that you can't just ban, or restrict the use of, the weapon without catering for not only the physical but mental well being of the masses. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Totally agree. Mental well being for all ought to be an ongoing priority. Taking the guns out of circulation helps as well though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
