You damn right, too many guns already in the country

Maybe they should take a look at what the Japanese do!

To get a gun in Japan, first, you have to attend an all-day class and pass a written test, which are held only once per month. You also must take and pass a shooting range class. Then, head over to a hospital for a mental test and drug test (Japan is unusual in that potential gun owners must affirmatively prove their mental fitness), which you'll file with the police. Finally, pass a rigorous background check for any criminal record or association with criminal or extremist groups, and you will be the proud new owner of your shotgun or air rifle. Just don't forget to provide police with documentation on the specific location of the gun in your home, as well as the ammo, both of which must be locked and stored separately. And remember to have the police inspect the gun once per year and to re-take the class and exam every three years.

the point of the original question was that I was curious if it is a product of a certain generation that may have been the beginning of the usage of psychiatric drugs at a young age to treat all of the newfangled psychiatric conditions like ADD and ADHD, so I wonder if there might be a huge danger in messing with the brain chemistry of young developing children where they prescribe drugs to schoolkids which wasn't done to anywhere close to the same extent a generation before that

I wonder about how many of these shooters and what their histories were with psychiatric "meds" ??

Between 1990 and 1995, use of methylphenidate more than doubled, according to a 1996 study at Johns Hopkins University. By mid-1995, it found, nearly 3 percent of American children and youths, or about 2.5 million, were taking it. And that number appears to have kept rising, so that by now, it may have hit 3.75 million, according to a rough estimate by Dr. Lawrence Diller, author of "Running on Ritalin" (Bantam, 1998).

From what I've read it seems the majority of kids who have shot up schools were on some kind of SSRI's.

Kevin Bacon has a house in NY and mingles with Soros at parties. Could be him.
