  Cause of Mass Shootings Mental Health?

  i have been sad to see so many groups and individuals say that the cause of these events are the mental status of the shooters.

  i have looked over the backgrounds of these shooters, and few had medically identified mental health issues.

  it is too easy to think that people shoot or kill other people because they are mentally ill.. actually, many or most people with real mental illnesses are most likely to be the victims of others.. i have been a volunteer with the organization called nami (national alliance of mental lillness) for 25 years now.

  Another thing to consider is that guns bought and sold in the US cross that country's borders and end up in the hands of gangs and drug cartels in Canada and Mexico

  Yet where the guns come from do not have the issues of the urban areas. Hmmmmm wonder why.

  More people die by motor vehicle than by guns every year for at least the last 20 years.

  Not at all Simon, you are creating something I never said. I did not say they were not guilty, I said they were mentally ill. The definition of someone who is not guilty by insanity is one who did not know right from wrong. Someone who say thought they were saving the world by killing someone they thought was an Alien who came to earth to kill the world. You can be mentally ill and know you are evil or doing wrong. Even if you are so mentally ill you think you are not doing wrong, IMO it is better to put them to death and end their suffering. The idea that all life is worth saving is stupid. Charlie Manson is one who should have been hanged after his trial along with Atkins. Just like Bundy.

  First off an assault weapon is a select fire, meaning it can shoot fully automatic or single shot depending on what the selector is set on. Next it will use an intermediate cartridge. That is not a full on battle rifle round like the 7.62 Russian or 3006 or 308 but in the case of the AK47 a 7.62x39 and in the case of the M4 or M16 223 or 5.56. These have a lot less power then the standard battle rifle rounds. The so called Assault weapons was developed late in WW2 by the Germans. The STG44 took the standard 8mm battle rifle round and made is less powerful than the full battle round by shortening the case. The "assault " rifle can also not be chambered for a pistol ctg like the Thompson, MP5, Sten, MP40 ect. An AR15 is not an assault weapon. Its a semi automatic rifle. This is why the 94 crime bill that banned "assault " weapons was a failure. Because many hunting rifles and C&R guns are semi auto they had to describe and assault rifle by its looks. A gun that had a bayonet lug, pistol grip, flash suppressor, detachable box mag ect. This was easy to get past by making things like thumb hole stocks, taking off the bayonet lug, and flash suppressor. The Ruger mini 14 shoots a 223 5.56 just like the AR15 but looks like a standard hunting rifle and was exempt even though it works no different than an ar15 and takes a box mag. Even the California laws have had a hard time banning them by saying the mag has to have a tool to take out, and wallah the bullet button was born. The second amendment has been defined by the SCOTUS as an individual right just as all the 10 amendments are. There is no collective freedom of religion, or collective freedom of the press. As far at the founding not seeing AKs and ARs well they could not see the internet and TV and Radio but that does not mean that only the guy ringing the bell yelling out the news or standing on the soap box is the only kind of press and speech that is considered free. The bigger issue is the world is too many people. Too many people chasing an ever dwindling resources. Too many people who want to destroy their host countries instead of assimilating. And the left has kept eroding moral values so now some guy and pee dressed as a tranny next to your 12yo daughter while spanking the tranny next to him/her.

  Not true at all.Anyone who shoots to kill just for the enjoyment of it is by definition mentally ill. Just because they were not diagnosed with something that has letters does not mean they are not mentally ill. Just because they do not get off on an insanity defense does not mean they are not mentally ill. Charlie Manson and Susan Atkins did not get off on being insane but they were most defiantly mentally ill. The Federal Government shut down funding for the asylums decades ago and the streets became full of the mentally ill. Ted Kennedy car has killed more people than my guns have. If a person wants to kill they can use a truck and run over large groups of people, Pressure cookers become bombs and gas becomes Molotov cocktails. We have a second amendment that does not grant but declares that the right to arms is by nature not granted by the gov. Another issue is diversity is not good. The most happy countries are places like Japan, and Switzerland where there is little diversity. The culture wars going on today in America and Britain are due to the letting in of cultures that do not assimilate to but instead work to convert the host country to their way of life. When I went to school the school had several shot guns and 22lrs that we all would shoot at the school forest and no one ever thought of shooting up the school. Times have changed and not for the better in most cases. But the left likes to think if they banned all guns we would all sit around roasting marshmallows and singing kumbya. England is a good example, they let in many Muslims and now they have no guns but are having a rash of knife attacks. So much they have blue boxes like goodwill drop boxes that say save a life drop your knife and in Londumb they don't sell kitchen knifes in many stores. This is where liberalism leads. Destruction.

  Money! How much did you "Contribute" To The WTB@TS When You Were A Member

  by The Bethelite in

  2. friends

  i was in full time service for six years including bethel.

  once i got out of bethel, i figured i had already given them six of the best years of my life (ages 18-24) working as a slave/drone in their factory, so i rationalized that i had given them enough... so over the next 27 years i would say maybe $200 bucks is it.

  i think their whole "voluntary contributions" idea is biting them in the ass, because over all jehovah's witnesses are a cheap group people with a few exceptions.

  I never did, In fact when I was a kid my Grandmother would give me 5 or 10 to drop in the box and I would walk up to the box and on the way pocket the money and pretend to drop it in.

  I can remember for years after leaving thinking I need to throw away apostate material because demons could attach to it bla bla bla. It took me about 10 years to fully get rid of the cult mind control. I now feel nothing for any kind of guilt or throw back to the cult.
