Connecticut School Shooting Tragedy

Lot's of horrible things happening these days. Would be nice to have a solution for all of them. Of course many pundits and amateur bloggers broadcast their common sense solutions. How to cure the human condition. How to protect ourselves from each other. The concept of civil liberties are diametrically opposed to the obvious solution of using psychics to capture killers before they strike a lá "Minority Report." Gun control seems to be the clearest answer for many. Politically, an untenable position in these times where liberals have spent all of their capital ruining the economy and legalizing marijuana. Gun control however is a simple answer to a complex question no one is asking. How do we stop people from being compelled to go on rampages. Instead people are asking how to keep the guns away from crazy people or how to keep the crazy people away from children. It is already illegal for a mentally disturbed person to own a gun. Just like for a convicted felon. So would a broader prohibition on guns make it any more illegal. No but that could be the smoke screen needed to convince the foolish masses to acquiesce their constitutional right to rise against their corporate and political masters. America is a plantation. A resource driven economy that strived for efficiency rather than flammable paper wealth would probably not have to many school shootings. How can we deter the psychos if they are willing to die for their cause. When the government answers that problem thn maybe they can create lastin peace in the Middle East.
