I think I understood the point.

So, do you think I support gun control, or anything like that? I most certainly do not. The reason I put what I did in quotes is that is what leftwingers would say...and they'd be wrong.

Nah, I wouldn't assume you support gun control
I do think we need COMMON SENSE ROCKING CHAIR laws though, perhaps background checks on anyone buying one and I think they should be kept away from children (Hear that?, no more rocking babies to sleep!! They might just GO OFF by themselves) !!!

WOW! I would have never thought. Not being sarcastic. If both defense and prosecution agrees on it, how can one argue? However, i feel sorry for the dead student.

Watched this on the news tonight. They said the family is going to work on changing knife laws. There is no question that the killer was insane. Changing knife laws though? Rational thought lost in grief.

How does release from his current situation happen? Does a doctor decide when he gets out? Board of doctors?
