I agree with Trillaz' point - a person may be mentally healthy and no risk to anyone when he obtains a gun, but 20 years down the road he may become dangerous. I don't know what the ideal solution is, but I guarantee that if one of my kids showed symptoms of becoming violent or suicidal, our guns would be gone immediately.

precisely why we need to pass laws renew every so often, and watch out for our neighbors, family, friends ..their behaviour

Simon,

I just think until we get this all hashed out, gunowners need to be responsible for the guns they have right now.

Every little solution is shot down with........well that won't work because....blah blah blah.

When I was a young mother a gun was shot off in my house by accident when my son got it. It was on the fireplace mantel, I did not know it was there and certainly did not know it was loaded. After that day, no gun has ever been in my house.

Again, I am asking only for something we can do without legislation, laws, delays by debates.

I hear you loud and clear.

Until we go through this debate, hash out all the stats, get laws passed, appropriate money for mental illness, etc etc etc.

we can make sure our guns are in a secure place.

Ask other gunowners the same.

This is something we can do NOW.

thanks,

Mental health crisis in America-

by moshe in

i found this mother's letter to be an eye opener--.

written by liza long, republished from the blue review.

friday's horrific national tragedy -- the murder of 20 children and six adults at sandy hook elementary school in newtown, connecticut -- has ignited a new discussion on violence in america.

I agree, the horror and fear families are living through dealing with NO HELP! This mother knows she is in over her head, no amount of love will fix this, no praying to Jehovah. We need to address this and quickly.

We are all paying the price.
