I forgot about that stupid statement, "Searching for a motive." WFC. The authorities say that north of the 49th, also
After some of the shootings there were suggestions the shooter was maybe just a little crazy, or he was the kid that was bullied. One significant community spokesperson suggested, " We had the shooter in or sights, he was a convicted felon." "We were watching him." Good for you, that really did not work out.
I "think" there has to be change of the national attitude toward life and ending life, everywhere. Without a change of attitude, limiting guns will probably not make much difference.
In the 1950s, my brother and I saved our empty bottle return money and bought a Canadian Made COOEY single shot 22. We put up the money at the small town hardware store for the gun and a box of CIL shorts. The owner of the store called my mother and asked if this was OK. On the way home, my brother, 9 years old, and I, two years older, took turns carrying the bullets then the gun. We were seen by more than a few persons and no one said anything.
Move ahead until 2019, 65 years later. My son was loading a few Air-Soft guns into his Grand Cherokee so he could go and play shoot-m-up, in the woods, with his friends. A nosy neighbour called the police. In less than a minute there were three police cruisers on our street. The police were hiding behind the cruisers and yelling commands to drop and put hands behind your back. It was over in a few minutes and the "Gendarmerie nationale" (aka RCMP) apologized and went to talk to the complainant. I told the police that the complainant and I had been feuding for decades and this is just another of his retaliations. The complainant has been charged with criminal mischief.
I know of several persons on this forum who own and carry guns. One of them told me he needs to protect himself from another crazy person with a gun. Is it possible that many persons have lost the ability to negotiate and compromise? I have to wonder if resorting to gun violence only puts off the day and time when a situation will have to be dealt with finally and absolutely.
This leaves only CB89 and I and I am watching him.
