If it’s a “mental health” problem, it’s a longstanding health problem that nobody has a handle on. We are plainly unable to prevent the shootings, so maybe we should prevent the peaceable assemblies. What we need to do is ban all gatherings of more than three people for any reason.
A mass shooting, by current definition, involves at least four people getting shot, you see, so by banning gatherings of four or more we can prevent mass shootings. It is true that this will outlaw school, church, sporting events, political rallies and, come to think of it, most workplaces. However, it will prevent mass shootings going forward. It’s a high price to pay, but we do love our Second Amendment. Got a better idea? |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
