The myths and misconceptions regarding mental illness and violence are quite depressing. In this case ‘gun crime’ in the USA. Personally I find it quite shocking that in the age of google and instant information people are still so ignorant regarding this issue.

One in four will experience mental health problems in any given year. The USA is comparable to the UK and slightly higher % wise. The majority of extreme violent crime and homicides, particularly ‘gun crime’ in the USA, are committed by people who do not have serious mental health problems. In fact extreme violent crime committed by people with serious mental health issues/illness is rare both in the UK and in the USA.

I suspect media witch hunts are partly responsible but mostly pig ignorance.

Theres too many people with underlined mental illness and then theres some with bad blood in them.
^^^^^What a ridicules’ statement. I my self suffer mental illness, knowing one of the biggest factors is the fear of my loved ones mortality. I can not be sure but I suspect being human, that most people with a mental illness display this trait. I do know that the fear in me made me seek help certainly never thought about going and finding a weapon to kill anyone. There are very few thomos hameltons in this world of mental illness.
When lucy speaks of bad blood, I refuse to believe she is talking about ignorant travellers. Who she has posted about many times in anger, having had to deal with travellers in her job.Sh e has constantly tried to gouda me in to a confrintatition over this issue.
America unfortunately has a gun culture. Thankfully we don’t.I can understand why people would want to arm themselves in that situation.
I think if you disarmed people in the usa,things would go underground and some people would take advantage of this.

I have no idea what Moon is rambling on about here, would someone please kindly translate it for me. She says it is a ridiculous statement then completely agrees with it, then rambles on about Lucy.

Much appreciated.

I totally agree yanks have the right to bare arms, what kind of a government, in a democracy, would prevent citizens from baring their own arms!

Suntanned arms for all comrades!

:lol:

That was quite funny (for you) :lol:
Seriously though…I get bare and bear mixed up all the time…just cannot get a grip on it…yet your you’re etc not used correctly makes my ocd for correction go into overdrive…that post makes you officially one of the spelling police….your status on the boards is propelling to new heights…..I hope you can cope with that

whats wrong with having an opinion, that i need to get a grip?
1. Thats why they should only have one shootgun for hunting and nothing else, over 9,000 people get killed in the USA each year – less guns less murders. And more checks before allowed to purchase a gun would also help.
2. The declaration for independnce was signed back in 1776, things have changed since then and there was not a military force the size it is now – there fore no need for citizens to bare arms any more, as for not allowed to carry them in public – shame no one told Dylann Storm Roof or any of the school shooters that.
3. Exactly why there should be more stringent laws against buying them. – THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY POINT :D
4. IM not in politics, so i cant put “my Country in order” but i do give out about my Country just the same – well not about gun laws as only the drug police have guns, not even the normal Garda have them.
5. IF most are lawful then how come there are so many killings in America. If your from the UK why get your knickers in a twist about American gun laws??

American States are separately legislating to ban magazine clips of more than 5/10 bullets.
Change is slowly coming through the back door, most Americans just don’t know it yet.
