I Just Don't Know

I can’t figure out the thinking that causes people to go into a crowded place and start killing people, at random. It just isn’t sane. But I don’t want to call the two mass shooters who killed so many people in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, crazy, because that is a “clinical term” that requires they be committed, rather than imprisoned. Which means they might even be released, if some doctor, who might not have even been born yet, decides they are “cured.” Someone who does that has to be mentally unbalanced, even if not crazy. Such thinking is definitely a mental aberration, but not necessarily insane. The killer in El Paso surrendered, and will face whatever comes, The one in Dayton was killed, just as the one in El Paso should have been. People who do such things forfeit the right to breathe the same air as the rest of us, in my opinion. Predictably, the anti-gun fools jumped right on both shootings, before the echoes of the gunshots had gone away, but what the bloody hell do they think their stupid laws will do to keep such people from committing mass murder? If they can’t get a gun legally, they will just get it illegally. When they contemplate such a major crime, they aren’t a bit concerned with violating a silly little anti-gun law. No amount of laws that keep the law-abiding from getting guns for self defense will ever keep such people from getting guns, so why do they keep making more of them? To control us better, that’s why. Politicians just want to be able to tell us what we can, and can’t do. (Quartz)
