The number of crazy people deciding they have nothing to loose and getting their hands on a gun, that is. In late April, a long time friend of mine was shot and killed outside a Target store along with one other victim by a mentally derranged man who had broke into his elderly neighbors home, murdered her, and stole her husbands old military rifle with the intent of going on a shooting spree. I'm not writing as to the ease with which a known "wacko" was able to find a gun nor as to the fact that it was another gun that eventually cut his rampage short. My concern is that there is no end in sight to this kind of thing happening and indeed it is only going to get worse.
My girlfriend works for the department of mental health and her caseload is increasing at an alarming rate. She tells daily stories of mentally handicapped people and the dangers that some pose to themselves and others. Although it would disgust her to hear me say it, I think her profession is fighting a loosing battle. Society is presently geared up for producing more of these unstable and dangerous individuals than it can ever hope to control and there is usually little or no warning as to who is going to cross that line and when.
But why kill innocent people just because you have decided that life is no longer worth living? Because you perceive that your suffering is the fault of others. Sometimes the crazed gunmen go after specific individuals that have ridiculed or refused to accept them like in Columbine. The coward that shot my friend was refused a security job at Target because of his mental history and decided it was ok to kill anyone who would have the nerve to shop at a store that denied him employment. Many people suffer from the delusion that their failuers in life are the fault of others and that number increases every day. All that is required for a mass shooting to occur is for this common notion to strike one of the many dangerously unstable people out there and for them to lay hands on one of the many guns out there. Frankly I can't believe that it doesn't happen every day.
Why don't other countries with an abundance of guns see as many shooting sprees as the U.S.? Maybe because they don't suffer from the liberal delusion that everyone is entitled to a wonderful life with minimal effort, everyone should be accepted by everyone else and no one is responsible for their actions. We have kids going from an "everybody gets a trophy even if they didn't earn it" sugar coated environment into a "not everybody gets a fat paycheck, a hot wife and tons of cool friends even if they did earn it and certianly not if they didn't" real world environment and then wonder why some people flip out and take the ultimate revenge on the screwed up system. Mass shootings are another unpleasant byproduct of liberal policy makers, the same policy makers that want to make darn sure that you are unarmed when the disgruntled and armed wacko wanders into your local gun free zone.
