More Gun Violence from Emotional Disturbed

Besides the friends and families of the poor victims of the Virginia Tech Cho Sum Hui incident a while ago, it seems like America has almost forgotten the horror of the emotionally disturbed with guns. This has not completely faded from my mind as we see another horrible incident at Omaha shopping mall, where a disturbed teen shot 9 people including himself.

This guy lost job at McDonald and just emotionally disturbed. He lived in a friend's house like a homeless puppy. He was a complete loser and yet he wants to be famous and be remembered. Look, there is a difference between famous and infamous. Shooting innocent victims is a horrible, infamous way to get onto the headline.

We have 2 problems here.
1. Just how guns should be controlled?
2. How to help the emotionally disturbed?

Guns: just how does that kid have access to the AK-47? only police should have guns! Only the military should have AK-47! Better yet: nobody owns guns, everybody live in peace (now that's daydreaming). Repeal the 2nd Amendment! Collectors: there are much more stuff that are fun to collect, like rare coins. Please don't collect lethal weapons! Don't shoot wildlife! Let them live in peace! But this is the freedom that Americans treasure, even risking losing life to criminals and reckless emotional disturbed.

The kid is emotionally disturbed. Uncaring parents? Who knows. But I am sure the parents (and stepparents) played a major role in his disturbed life. Parents! You must take care of your kids! If you don't who do you suppose to do that?

Ok, 19 year old dude. Losing your job at McDonald is not the end of the world. You need to STAND UP against anything that is not working out for you.

But how do you do reasoning with the emotionally disturbed?

When will the next emotionally disturbed person shoot?
