Multiple shooting Victims at Lake Hefner

[Zaphod Beeblebrox]

Until our Future Crimes Division gets up and running, we might have to choose between taking someone's liberty who hasn't done anything yet (and may never), but who makes us feel "hinky", or wait until they actually do something and live with the consequences.

This event goes along with the thread the other day by our good doctor member, where he believed he had the right to decide that his neighbor should not own a gun because she was old and needed, basically he did not like her.
I got banned from the thread, called a moron, dick, a Mod broke the rules to belittle me for pointing out that none of have the right to limits someone else's Rights, if they have not been taken away by a court.

Stepping back and taking a look at this shooting from another angle...It should make any thinking person wonder how effective requiring a mental health screening or assessments is going to be in "keeping guns out of the hands of dangerous people". Here we had an CLEET trained/certified armed security guard with serious mental health problems, begging for help and seemingly not a thing was done. It is enough to make you think that calls for mental health checks for gun purchasers is purely political feel-good pandering.

On the other hand, any person who simply owns a Red Ryder BB gun makes some people feel hinky, so obviously it is a slippery slope.

While it has been a while since this thread was started, and I've slept since then, isn't there just the slight chance that this perpetrator was looking for "suicide by cop?"

My thoughts as well, since he had already said on social media that he wanted to commit suicide.
