From the Daily Mail:
By VALERIE EDWARDS and JENNIFER SMITH and EMILY CRANE and RUTH STYLES IN ARVADA, COLORADO, FOR DAILYMAIL.COM and DANIEL BATES IN BOULDER, COLORADO, FOR DAILYMAIL.COM
PUBLISHED: 00:35 EDT, 24 March 2021 | UPDATED: 02:32 EDT, 24 March 2021
…Agents of the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrived at the residence of Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, 21, who was named by police earlier in the day as the man who shot dead 10 people at the Boulder grocery store on Monday afternoon. The grocery store is about 30 miles from his Arvada home. …
In Facebook posts over the last two years, he complained about not having a girlfriend, ranted about President Trump and talked about his Islamic faith.
He also ranted online about ‘racist islamophobes’ hacking his phone.
‘Just curious what are the laws about phone privacy because I believe my old school (a west) was hacking my phone. Anyone know if I can do anything through the law?’ Alissa wrote on March 18, 2019, appearing to refer to Arvada West High School.
Another post dated for March 16, 2019, reads: ‘The Muslims at the #christchurch mosque were not the victims of a single shooter. They were the victims of the entire Islamophobia industry that vilified them.’
The post appears to reference the Christchurch, New Zealand, mosque shootings of 2019, when a single gunman killed 51 people after he opened fire on two separate mosques.
Maybe the Prestige Press giving that far-away incident colossal coverage for weeks and months was a little bit imprudent?
Alissa, a high school wrestler who has been described by his family as ‘mentally ill’, was born in Syria and moved to the US with his family when he was three.
According to a police report, obtained by the Daily Beast, in 2017, Alissa, then 17, ‘blacked out’ and violently assaulted a classmate who had called him a terrorist.
Checkmate, bigot!
The report says that Alissa attacked another student, Alex Kimose, who he said had been bullying him.
Kimose was reportedly left with a ‘red and swollen’ face and his eye partially closed.
The report claims that Kimose was ‘crying and throwing up’ when his father arrived to the school and threatened to press charges.
Alissa said he could not take being bullied anymore so he ‘blacked out and rushed him’.
At the time, Alissa claimed that Kimose called him ‘racist names, called him a terrorist, and even took a video of him and put it on Snapchat’.
I should pitch this teen drama series to Netflix: a Muslim immigrant high school student is so exhausted by WASP bullies stereotyping him as an angry Arab and a “terrorist” that he heroically beats one up. I’ll call my show Trope.
And then in the crowd-pleasing season one finale, our hero murders ten white people at the supermarket. I’m not sure where Season Two goes, but I’ll think of something.
Alissa was charged with a misdemeanor for the attack, according to the Daily Beast. …
Police have not yet confirmed his motive. He has been charged with ten counts of murder.
The New York Times reported on Tuesday that he was known to the FBI because he was linked to another person who has been under investigation for something else. They didn’t give any more details.
That’s rather interesting.
His brother confirmed he was the shooter in an interview with The Daily Beast on Tuesday, saying he was ‘paranoid’ and ‘very antisocial’.
He insisted that the shooting was not politically-motivated and said:'[It was] not at all a political statement, it’s mental illness.
‘The guy used to get bullied a lot in high school, he was like an outgoing kid but after he went to high school and got bullied a lot, he started becoming anti-social,’ he said.
Presumably, all the misfits in Colorado high schools have heard of Columbine.
Another told The Denver Post that Alissa was ‘violent’, ‘scary to be around’ and once threatened to kill teammates on his wrestling team.
‘He was kind of scary to be around. His senior year, during the wrestle-offs to see who makes varsity, he actually lost his match and quit the team and yelled out in the wrestling room that he was, like, going to kill everybody.
‘Nobody believed him. We were just all kind of freaked out by it, but nobody did anything about it,’ Dayton Marvel said. Another, Angel Hernandez, recalled an incident where another wrestler teased him for losing and he just ‘started punching him’.
Alissa has been arrested at least once before including in 2017 when he punched someone who had made fun of his race.
He punched a racist!
Who needs a TV show? We’re talking Best Picture Oscar.
In a July 2019 Facebook post, he ranted: ‘Yeah if these racist Islamophobic people would stop hacking my phone and let me have a normal life I probably could.’
Hernandez, the fellow wrestler, added: ‘He would talk about him being Muslim and how if anybody tried anything, he would file a hate crime and say they were making it up.
‘It was a crazy deal. I just know he was a pretty cool kid until something made him mad, and then whatever made him mad, he went over the edge — way too far.
‘He was always talking about (how) people were looking at him and there was no one ever where he was pointing people out. We always thought he was messing around with us or something.’
His arrest affidavit, which was released on Tuesday morning, reveals that after shooting a man once in the grocery store parking lot, Alissa then approached him while he was still laying on the ground and shot him again, repeatedly.
Like I’ve been saying, there are two main types of mass shootings: the ones in which the shooters don’t try to get away because they’d rather stick around and finish off the wounded and the kind where the shooters leave a lot of wounded because they want to run away.
… He bought a Ruger AR- 556 pistol exactly a week ago on March 16, 2021.
That was the day of the Atlanta Massage Parlor massacre. Were they connected in his mind — such as he bought a gun to get vengeance on whites — or is the date just a coincidence? Did the enormous outpouring of racial hate for whites over the last week encourage him to turn his new gun to deadly ends?
… His 34-year-old brother Ali told the Beast he was ‘deeply disturbed’.
Others, including some who wrestled with him in high school, say he was a sore loser who sometimes threw tantrums if he lost.
‘One thing I can tell you is he didn’t take losing very well.
‘I remember that in wrestling.
‘He would throw his headgear, wouldn’t talk to the coaches when he lost.
‘If I remember correctly, even cussed out one of the coaches one time.’ …
Alissa’s brother told The Beast about an incident when he was in high school and feared he was going to be killed.
‘[He believed] he was being chased, someone is behind him, someone is looking for him.
‘When he was having lunch with my sister in a restaurant, he said, ‘People are in the parking lot, they are looking for me.’
‘She went out, and there was no one. We didn’t know what was going on in his head,’ he said.
It’s almost as if there more than a few crazymen in this country who don’t belong to the dreaded Straight White Male Menace we keep hearing about. Perhaps all the hate directed at the Regular-American community by the mainstream media plays a role in encouraging them to lash out at Regular-Americans?
As of press time, nothing had been yet heard from leaders of the Regular-American community.
By the way, doesn’t a criminal committing insane violence and then stripping off most of his clothes sound like he was on angel dust, a drug that encourages both ridiculous violence and overheating?

Do Arabs have higher rates of psychopathy compared to other races?
Overall, blacks probably have the highest rates but I don’t have the impression that smart blacks are psychopathic at significantly higher rates than whites. But I do have the impression smart Arabs are a lot more psychopathic than average of other races.

“Still no motive determined in Colorado shooting”.
Going by history Steve, in Season Two of your show, or the sequel movie, we find the killer was befriended by an FBI agent, who was using him to track extremists.
All of this very coincidentally while another assault weapons ban is making its way through Congress.
These freaks know they have less than two years before another Congressional Revolution occurs, so it is to the mutual advantage of the deep state and the (D) party to cram as much down our throats as possible.

And the Arab mass shooter in Boulder, Colorado Ahmad Al Aliwi Al-Issa is played by Arab actor Rami Malek.
On second thought scratch that. Rami Malek is a Christian Arab not an Allahu Akbar Arab like Ahmad Al Aliwi Al-Issa, so it would be cultural appropriation. The actor needs to be Muslim in real life as well!
I see a good opportunity here for Amazon to create a separate AI virtual assistant for Muslims, “ALISSA”.
“Alissa, what is the best place to shoot infidels?”
This seems to be a common theme among many of these shooters, and if the data that AE posted recently about young men in their 20s “not getting any” is true, then I think we will be seeing a lot more of that…
Also, Facebook and social media in general appear to be making mental illnesses worse, or at least increase feelings of envy, anger and isolation among young people.
It's important to note their lack of "getting any" is almost always because they are overweight and/or unkempt video game addicts with little material resources, yet they still expect to date attractive women. Even the ones with seriously personality issues could probably find a partner if they settled for their overweight, unkempt female counterparts.
Maybe Hollywood could help by producing some movies where slobs find happiness with other slobs.

Funnily, it was fuzzed out, pr0nz-style, until I “saved background image”. Probably a dwonload error.
Obviously I condemn this man’s actions, but I wouldn’t put it past the enemy to have interfered with his communications devices. He’s obviously been outspoken about the Zionist attacks on Palestinians, and their American golems’ deliberate blood sacrifice of millions of gentiles throughout the Middle East. Does Mossad have some kind of automated process for targeting such people? Probably.
And certainly, if the Zionist entity did not exist, this man would not have been in a white country in the first place.
Remember the Neocon Rule: We had to fight them ‘over there’ so that, um, they could come over here and kill our mothers, sisters, brothers, daughters, what have you.
I just looked at both NY TImes and Washington Post. Didn’t see one mention of “hate crime”.
These people have an $800,000 house so there’s money for doctors. Did they ever mention his strange and violent behavior to his doctor or otherwise try to get him help? Did they even try to talk to him about it? How about anybody at school or the criminal justice system when he got arrested for hitting a classmate? Was he talked to or evaluated by a professional then? If not, why not?
People will talk about his crimes and condemn him for them but they won’t talk about how they didn’t have to happen.
We can do better on identifying people with mental problems and getting them help. We can take action and save lives. Just putting this guy away will not solve the problem.
Two, our (MSM) is at work 24/7/365 to ensure that mental cases are provoked every which way to 'act out' against the Dreaded Wypipos, who are of course the proximate cause of every mental case's various issues.
Three, and possibly worst of all, the quality of 'mental health care' in the USA is almost uniformly abysmal. Practitioners tend to be of average intelligence and poor training. Many have a surfeit of mental-health issues themselves, and many see the enterprise as a way of working out their own hostilities.
This last item is the hardest to solve, but the fact is that we're not trying to solve any of them.
At least they did remove all the guns from the house...unlike the family of this killer: sister saw him "playing with a machine gun" and did nothing. I fully understand why they did not call the police to have it taken away, that might have led to his being killed. But couldn't they have done it themselves?

The bullying angle to this story is bullshit. He was a hs wrestler who kicked people’s asses randomly. It is obvious he learned he could get away with it by saying they called him a terrorist or whatever. He could be writing op-eds for the NY Times.
So the word “bully” now proprietarily means “white,” and the guy doing the beating isn’t a bully.

"The CIA and MI6, its British counterpart, have recruited hundreds of Yemenis to work as mercenaries and spies gathering intelligence and coordinates of Yemeni military positions in Marib, al-Mahrah, Sana’a and Sadaa, and providing that information to their handlers, according to confessions given to the Yemeni Security Intelligence Service (YSIS) by at least six Yemeni nationals currently on trial in Sana’a for violating Article 130 of Yemen’s Penal Code.
The six men, who are being held in a detention facility in Sana’a, agreed to speak to MintPress about their experiences. They insist that abject poverty as a result of the ongoing war drove them to participate in the operation, which they said came with the promise of a $300 payout.
According to the men, the operation was carried out primarily at the Ghaydah Airport in eastern al-Mahrah. There, they joined dozens of young Yemenis recruited by the CIA for training by American and British officers on how to properly identify and describe; the use of cameras, sophisticated software programs and devices used to share coordinates; information gathering; and how to find and identify military leaders and headquarters, workshops, factories, laboratories, warehouses, checkpoints and launching sites for missiles and drones. Even the locations of the personal homes and vehicles of Ansar Allah members and other vocal opponents of the Saudi intervention were sought, according to the men."

Here’s a pleasant surprise. The UK proposes a serious, detailed approach to curtail illegal immigration. It seems like they tried to think of everything to stop the baloney and made appropriate changes. We will have to see if they stick to their guns and if it survives court challenges. They have a real advantage by not giving citizenship to all children born there. They can deport families who have been living there for a number of years with no worries about citizen children:
“Illegal migrants will be denied the right to settle in the UK even if they are granted asylum under plans by Priti Patel to crush people-smuggling.
The Home Secretary is proposing that those who get asylum will only be granted “temporary protection status”, which means they will be regularly reassessed for removal from the UK, have limited family reunion rights and no access to benefits unless destitute.
Only those who come to the UK through legitimate routes – via official Government refugee schemes from war zones or to escape persecution – will be entitled to indefinite leave to remain.”

I've been hearing mixed messages about the reliability of UK Conservatives on immigration. Deportations were apparently way down last year (by over 80%) and, far more importantly, they threw the flood gates wide open to millions of Hong Kongers.
This news sounds a little better, but so far the overall news isn't good. The British people are being betrayed yet again.
Even his family members knew there was something wrong with him, yet nobody did anything. I’m curious about this “blacking out” business too. Nobody wanted to admit there was something psychological and maybe physically too, wrong with the guy. Of course, ethnicity disappointingly now determined, the Lyin’ Press will proceed to make this about the guns only. That’s the narrative that this one will be inserted into.
BTW, it’s too bad that the wresting didn’t help this guy take out his aggression. It’s a great sport, and one that doesn’t take anywhere near the amount of money and equipment that the big ones do. I’m just biased, but I wish Wrestling (the real stuff, not the silly Wrastling on TV) and Ultimate Frisbee would become more popular than Football, Basketball, and Communist Kickball.

If he had made the football team then he would have never encouraged his boy to wrestle. Lol.

The father of the shooter, Moustafa Alissa, is obviously what the late John McCain (piss be upon him) would call a “moderate Salafist”. Moustafa on his social media talks about revenge against his Islamic brothers and who hates Assad, Putin, and Trump and thinks anyone opposing Erdogan is a soldier of Satan.
As Ann Coulter always says, “Our future country is gonna be great!”
The shooter hated Trump. IOW he suffered from Trump Derangement Syndrome, so must be just another good Democrat. (Chuck Schumer can relate.)
Pity he’ll now be locked away for life, since if he only self-identified as a woman, Joe Biden had made it possible for the shooter to resume his bright career in wrestling in women’s leagues. (He would be one of those new fangled women, not one with just a penis but with a full beard.)

Most drugs, if used continuously, will render the user paranoid.
Half of all Democrat voters are such because they identify Republicans with law enforcement and just want to be left alone to do their drug of choice in peace. That’s why they move to states or cities with lax drug enforcement and this accounts for the explosion of homeless people in tolerant, so-called liberal cities. The results speak for themselves. Small businesses fail because customers don’t want to run the gauntlet of dirty, mangy, scary, drooling addicts beshitting themselves on the sidewalks. Tourists stay home in droves, solid citizens head for the suburbs, tax revenues fall and it becomes of paramount importance for the Democratic Party to win the national election for president so that they can control the spigot of federal funds to direct loot to the failing cities that house their loyal constituents. Anything goes to gain this end, as we have just witnessed.
Almost any drug, if used to excess, will engender paranoia or anti-social behavior. What happens is that a person’s better self realizes that the integrity of the whole (what Jung called the Self) is being violated by ingestion of a poison. The poison is preventing the individual from coming to grips with the world as it is and is therefore inhibiting spiritual, emotional, professional and interpersonal growth. The Self tries to call the ego back to reality by sending dream messages and such, but the individual ignores them or tries to cancel them with yet more drug induced euphoria. A vicious spiral is set up that results in the subject’s death or disablement.
As I say, half of all Democrats suffer from this disorder. This is why they deny that there is a world out there that exists independently of their perception and that there is a Truthful way of representing that world. To admit that there is such would be to acknowledge the Truth of the voice within them which is calling them back to their true selves, their wholesome Wholes. Almost every long-term pot smoker whom I know is a cripple.
I wonder why he went to Boulder to commit his atrocity. I don’t know about Colorado concealed weapons laws, but Boulder is probably the place in Colorado least likely to have an armed civilian present to cut short his spree. As for stripping off his clothes, that might also be to show that he had no explosives on his body, the suspected presence of which might have given the responding police a reason to shoot him dead on the spot.

Better call Saul.
He sounds like an extreme case of a “targeted individual”. Targeted individuals believe that they are being surveilled by sinister cabals of malevolent people, and they have a special fixation on cellphones/technology as the means of their surveillance. Unfortunately, the combination of drugs and cellphones has increased the number of people like this; you can easily google to find their websites.
Whether the “anti-racist” fixation of this shooter caused him to snap, I honestly couldn’t say. I’ve been expecting a “targeted individual”-related shooting for some time.
I believe the woke term for ‘regular American’ is ‘legacy’ or ‘obsolete American’.
Submitted for your discussion…
I once came face to face with a would-be mass shooter, who told me in casual conversation what he was about to do, and showed me all his guns… and I sat there calmly and talked him out of doing it. He listened to what I said, then decided not to kill a bunch of people, and he left and went on his merry way, and was never heard from again, at least not to my knowledge. I reckon about a dozen or so people, myself included, are alive and kicking today simply because this nutcase was willing to have a calm, civilized conversation.
That’s about as close as I ever hope to get to being near one of these psychos.
Anybody else have any near-miss stories like this?
Nothing dispels Islamaphobic tropes quite like slaughtering a bunch of strangers at a grocery store.
Lunatics who run amok with guns belong to a variety of ethnic groups, but they have one thing in common–they are nearly always Americans and are products of the US public education system.
It may not be entirely coincidental that the US is one of the very few nations that positively encourages paranoid people to buy guns to defend themselves.
I also think that you have to distinguish between "paranoid" in the colloquial sense and in the clinical sense. I see a lot of people here who are paranoid in the colloquial sense - when they hear about a shooting like this, they automatically assume that this is not what it seems to be on the surface but rather just another operation conducted by the grand CIA/Zionist/Masonic conspiracy. This is a little nuts in its own way but it's not the same thing as schizophrenia with paranoid delusions. People who exhibit genuine paranoid delusions should not be allowed to buy guns. It does the Second Amendment no service when guns end up in their hands. This only leads to efforts to ban whatever type of gun they happened to use when the emphasis needs to be on the shooter and not the shooting implement.Replies: @Known Fact, @Rooster11, @Muggles, @Dr. X, @Thomas, @JMcG, @Alec Leamas (hard at work)

The acute hospitals try to move a patient on to subacute within three days, sub acute keeps a patient two to four weeks, and then he is released and can stop taking his meds. The young man killed both his parents.
At least they did remove all the guns from the house…unlike the family of this killer: sister saw him “playing with a machine gun” and did nothing. I fully understand why they did not call the police to have it taken away, that might have led to his being killed. But couldn’t they have done it themselves?

I think that not selling guns to people who are genuinely mentally ill or who have a history of making death threats or acting out violent rage is a gun control measure that a majority of Americans could agree upon and which would pass constitutional muster. These are people who do not belong in a “well regulated militia”. Certainly in colonial times they weren’t giving muskets out to the village idiot.
I also think that you have to distinguish between “paranoid” in the colloquial sense and in the clinical sense. I see a lot of people here who are paranoid in the colloquial sense – when they hear about a shooting like this, they automatically assume that this is not what it seems to be on the surface but rather just another operation conducted by the grand CIA/Zionist/Masonic conspiracy. This is a little nuts in its own way but it’s not the same thing as schizophrenia with paranoid delusions. People who exhibit genuine paranoid delusions should not be allowed to buy guns. It does the Second Amendment no service when guns end up in their hands. This only leads to efforts to ban whatever type of gun they happened to use when the emphasis needs to be on the shooter and not the shooting implement.
The problem has never been coming up with common sense legislation, it’s how and who decides when it’s enforced that’s the problem. I wouldn’t leave anything up to this administration, because it’ll simply become an anti-White gun grab. People who were in the vicinity of the Capitol on Jan 6 are being called terrorists, who were just watching! You’re going to leave it up to this administration to decide if you’re worthy of owning a firearm or not... no way!
The problem, as always, is that the people who will decide that one has the mental competency to own firearms will be the same sort of people that are in charge of issuing concealed carry permits in NYC.
Naturally, the pharmaceutical companies dwarf the gun industry and the NRA in sheer size and reach. It would not surprise me if the real scandal here is that the psychoactive medications cause homicidal ideation in some and this fact has been suppressed. The institutional Press has a conflict of interest because as I'm sure you're aware Big Pharma advertises a lot on network television and in print media (Pharma ads were like half of the print in Newsweek before they stopped printing).
So, of course Big Pharma has an abiding interest in making these shootings by users of their products about the guns to deflect attention from a common thread uniting mass shootings (the first kind, as Steve would put it - not the ghetto beef mass shootings).

Obviously that is closing the barn door after the horse is gone, but figuring out which horses are likely to bolt is not an easy question. In retrospect, Al Issa displayed certain warning signs but there are a lot of guys who display very similar warning signs and who never graduate to mass shootings. Not allowing guys like this to buy guns would be good but we don’t really have a mechanism to conduct a full psychological profile on each potential gun buyer and even if we did, determined killers will find a way to access weapons illegally or, as in the UK, they will stab people instead of shoot them or make bombs or whatever. Al Issa had no serious criminal record. We don’t lock people up for pre-crime (although in the past we were much more willing to confine the mentally ill to institutions). We don’t have the resources to follow each guy like Al Issa around 24 hrs/day waiting for him to act out. Even his family, who knew he was sorta nuts, did not expect him to do this. Some here might say that we could start by not letting in immigrants or Muslims but the Atlanta shooter was an old stock white Christian. If there was an easy solution to this problem we would have done it already but there isn’t. Mass killings have been an issue in the West for a long time.

If we got most people who need it some help that would be an huge step forward for mental health care in America.
But we should pay special attention to people with serious mental illness. We do not do that. We in essence deny the existence of serious mental illness by offering so few resources to deal with it.
We need far more inpatient beds. We need to allow people to stay inpatient based on their illness, not our desire to save money.
Sane, mature responsible people--who actually care about their nation--don't just look for some utopian"a solution", to social problems, they look for things that improve--rather than screw up--society.
Even after you toss out all the routine blacks-shooting-blacks stuff, over half of what's left is still "diversity makes us more trigger happy". The proportion that are flat out immigrants or nursing some sort of basically immigration/diversity related issue--not fitting in, not getting white girls, people looking at them funny, fixation on some overseas grievance--is large.
My fellow white people aren't the most bolted down folks in the world, but absent "diversity" the joint gets a lot more sane. Not adding even less bolted down foreigners to the mix is the easiest--most obvious and sensible--improvement imaginable.
If we could deport everyone all excited and emotionally invested in some foreign mess--Israel/Palestine, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Cyprus, the Balkans, Northern Ireland, Kurdistan, Armenia, Kashmir, Punjab, Burma, Uighurs, Tibet, Taiwan ... including anything and everything in Africa ... that would be a huge upgrade to the comity and sanity of our nation as well.
Rein in the minoritarian insanity and everything gets better. And then we can start improving--eugenics, executing or expelling crims, locking up loons, return to patriarchy
This obsessive Jewish immigrationism--immigration now and forever without end--is just a sociopathic nightmare. An offense against reason, logic, mathematics, morality--against basic human nature, against humanity.

Well, I think there is something wrong with the forensic psychiatry and judicial system in most of the United States.
You say that this guy had no serious criminal record, but he had attacked and badly beaten somebody in school sufficient that the police and courts were involved.
You would therefore assume that some kind of psychological evaluation must have been carried out by the court, but the problem is that such documents are regarded as confidential and never seen by the public.
It would be reasonable for anybody who wants to obtain a gun to have to submit State and FBI background check results, and to sign an affidavit saying that they have never been convicted of any crime of violence.
Anybody who has been convicted of a crime of violence should be required to submit to a psychological evaluation at their own expense, or to submit a certified psychological evaluation that had previously been ordered by a court.
After all, if I had several convictions for drunken driving and my license was suspended, how easy would it be for me to just go to another state and take out a new driver’s license? Wouldn’t there be some kind of background check done?
I am also reminded about the law on casino gambling in Britain 50 years ago, which is probably still the same now, that made it legal for any adult to enter a casino as long as they were registered as a member.
Membership was freely granted on application, but you had to wait 24 hours from application to being given a membership card, which was a deterrent from people impulsively gambling or gambling when drunk. (Incidentally alcoholic drinks were not allowed in casinos and casinos were not allowed to advertise or lure people in.)
The idea behind this legislation was to allow the existing demand for casino gambling to be legally met, but to do nothing to expand or promote it.
The supreme Court has actually already blown a hole in the second amendment by ruling that convicted felons are not allowed to buy guns. Part of the result of this is that many convicted felons are currently serving long prison sentences for illegal possession of guns post conviction.
However the second amendment does not say anything about convicted felons, so the Supreme Court was legislating from the bench, which is supposed to be a BAD THING as all they are supposed to do is to provide an interpretation of what they think the authors of the Constitution were thinking back in the 18th century, without any consideration of contemporary conditions or the consequences of their rulings.
This is an unusual case of the Supreme Court actually getting something right by application of common sense! Well done, Supremes!
If convicted felons cannot legally buy guns, why should the same prohibition not be extended to people who have a history of violence or mental illness, or of posting violent threats on Facebook, or people under the age of 21?
We need the Supreme Court to rule on what the authors of the Constitution thought about Facebook, and whether the Founders believed that there was a cyberspace equivalent to shouting “Fire” in a crowded theater
The felony for which they were convicted may have had absolutely nothing to do with violence or guns. It could have been for tax evasion or pedophilia.
They could be former lawyers who swindled their clients, served time in prison, and now need a gun to protect themselves.
The real reason for banning convicted felons from buying guns are clearly 1) that judges are thinking about protecting themselves from vengeance, and 2) that it provides a nice easy way of sending gang members back to prison for violating probation.
Many states have a waiting period , 3-5 days. The gun shop dealer or licensed dealer who has a booth at the swap meet just enters the buyers information into a national crime data base and if the prospective buyer has a criminal conviction he can’t but the gun when he returns.
Dealers often refuse to sell to Black women because it’s well known that since so many black men are criminals who can’t buy guns, dealers assume any black woman might be buying it for a criminal man.
Most guns used by black criminals are bought privately. Many are stolen either from army bases, shops or private homes and shops during burglaries. Many guns never used in crimes are bought privately inherited given as gifts whatever
Read any gun control proposal. You will find it’s already a law. And legally, it’s not possible to deny any person never convicted, not just charged with a felony to buy a gun in the million to 1 chance he might go to a supermarket and shoot ten strangers .
As for the attack in a fellow student, he was a minor and no matter what he did the record of a minor would be concealed and not on any law enforcement database. If he was charged it was probably a misdemeanor A&B.

Generally agree with your point, but be careful. Discussing policy in the Age of Secular Progressivism is generally folly. People want a guaranteed “fix” to end the “problem”, without any catches, and, forgetting the maxim that any policy solution itself will create one or more policy challenges. The poly/mono theisms of old came to terms with the existential point of it all. That is, there are no free lunches in this universe; no such thing as a risk-free existence. Trade-offs are always on offer, and built-in to the system. Better policies will helpfully reduce the incidence of the problem to a measurable degree, while keeping the “2nd and 3rd order effects” to a minimum.

The problem is that the government cannot be trusted to enact such a policy in good faith.
In point of fact it is already illegal for a person who has been adjudicated mentally ill or been involuntarily committed to a mental institution to possess a firearm. There’s really no dispute about someone who is a raving paranoid schizophrenic and has been committed.
However, the concept of “mental illness” involves a broad spectrum of often politically-motivated “diagnoses” such as “Oppositional Defiance Disorder.” Not long ago, homosexuality was considered a mental illness; today, opposition to homosexuality might considered a “red flag.”
Contemporary “red flag” laws allow the armed seizure of one’s firearms by the SWAT team without due process and without facing one’s accuser on flimsy hearsay such as “I’m afraid of him” or “I think he’s crazy.” Next on the Biden/Harris list is almost certainly going to be “I think he’s a white supremacist, domestic terrorist Trump supporter” or “he’s a member of the Proud Boys.”
If a government run by Social Justice Warriors is given the ability to deny gun rights to anyone they think is mentally ill, they are going to define everyone who wants a gun as mentally ill — even hunters.
I can hear it now — “you must be mentally ill if you want to slaughter innocent Bambi,” etc….

Going by history Steve, in Season Two of your show, or the sequel movie, we find the killer was befriended by an FBI agent, who was using him to track extremists.Replies: @Luzzatto, @DCThrowback, @Almost Missouri
::slow clap:: you nailed it. the voices in his head, the FBI being aware…we need to know who his therapist was, who was proscribing his meds and whether or not he had a CIA handler.
All of this very coincidentally while another assault weapons ban is making its way through Congress.
These freaks know they have less than two years before another Congressional Revolution occurs, so it is to the mutual advantage of the deep state and the (D) party to cram as much down our throats as possible.
It’s not wrong to ask these questions on the firearms application – at the very least it gives the government grounds to later prosecute for false statements when discrepancies are discovered (and not necessarily only after you have already committed a gun crime).
I can’t imagine that the alternative – that you should be required to undergo a complete psychological evaluation at your own expense as Jonathan suggest above – would be well received by the NRA.
In a better world (not the world that we live in) I could see a sort of grand bargain between the pro- and anti- gun factions in the US – you would be allowed to own any sort of weapon or magazine you like, even full automatics, but only after you had been screened and found to have a spotless record. Stephen Paddock, the Las Vegas shooter, seemingly had a spotless record with only traffic violations, but his father was a bank robber who was on the FBI Most Wanted list for years.
You really are an alien pustule on what used to be America.
Now, to the point, a smart guy like you ought to be able to see how the idea you support is going to go. OK, just a form, no problem. Americans will need to self-certify that they have no psychological problems when buying guns or ammo.
Then, all psychologists and psychiatrists will be required to submit "paperwork" on line on all patients to be collected by the BATFE to be sent to gun stores who will be required to check that database before any sales. There will be new government bureau attached to the BATFE for that. We're gonna need that to do this right, agreed, Jack? However, many people may be referred to psychiatrists by other doctors who don't ever go visit. So, this will absolutely have to be expanded to all physicians too.
Next, vindictive doctors on a left-wing bent, and there are some, will be free to report whomever they want. At some point, the definition of "needing psychiatric help" will be expanded per a few E.O.s from the executive branch. That'll do for a while, but the next step will be to allow individual names or names of members of "un-psychologically-sound" groups to be entered into the database directly by the FBI, State law enforcement, and any other member of law enforcement, down to the TSA and mall cops. It's too much trouble to keep categorizing people and issuing E.O.s, you know, plus the President is busy with killing people overseas too, so ...

So this may be useful for some screening. However it is "unfair" to punish the sons/daughters for the sins of their fathers/mothers.
For all gun purchasers, obviously not going to fly. Daddy might be nuts but you probably aren't. In this Colorado instance, what we see is the common manifestation of 'schizoid" behavior emerging in males in their late teens, early adulthood. His friends/family noticed. But until he acted out, nothing could be done.
The real problem is both "evil" and "mental issues" can't really be detected in advance for most circumstances. Yes, we'd be safer if that could be done. But we don't live in Magic Land.
More generic gun laws (constitutional carry) might reduce mass shootings due to victim interference. But like stopping crazies, it is a pretty random solution. There are (very unpopular) laws which can apply if someone reports a person who is "acting out", crazy etc. but has firearms. They can in some circumstance have firearms temporarily taken away; subsequently adjudicated. Still not very effective.
Crazies can/do also use knives, arson, improvised explosives to carry out their misdeeds.
Society foolishly let all but the most obviously deranged people loose and no longer bother to try to keep them away from the public. So efforts in that direction seem unlikely.
Unless you hold to the idea that punishing millions of innocent citizens to prevent the unpredictable acts of a tiny number of crazies (which only shuts down one avenue of violence) this entire subject is a dead end.Replies: @Almost Missouri

“… so there’s money for doctors. ..”
The problem is that in many cases there is nothing much doctors can do for mentally ill people. Including making an reliable assessment of how dangerous they are.
The Army has shrinks. Some of them went to the sandbox, mostly to the Green zone. A major job for shrinks in the Green zone of the sandbox: try to figure out if a guy was gonna kill himself or not. Well,s oldiers in such a place can be kept track of pretty easily. Their electronic communications can easily be monitored, and any physical mail inspected. They can even be kept off to themselves for a while in a nice, comfy room with a lock on the door.
Yet it turns out that while it's pretty easy for a soldier to top himself, it's also really difficult to determine that in advance. If psych types cannot predict this in a regimented environment, how are they supposed to do something similar with civvies here in the land of the free?
Doing nothing for people with serious mental illness in America because we aren't sure how much treatment will help is condemning people to an awful life.Replies: @James B. Shearer
I wonder if anyone is going to have the bad taste to ask if the FBI dropped the ball on this because they were too busy hunting down cosplayers who took selfies in Nancy Pelosi’s office.
He didn’t say otherwise. He said that they are nearly always Americans and are products of the US public education system – this includes black people.
As Steve points out in another thread, black and white mass shooters have very distinct profiles and behaviors and really should not be lumped together. Shooting up the funeral of a rival gang member and fleeing is an almost exclusively black thang and is not the same thing as methodically shooting a bunch of random strangers and then surrendering or killing yourself, which is a white/Muslim thing. Shooting up your workplace or school is done by all races. “Mass shooting” is really too broad a category and we should have three distinct names for the different types of attacks now that they are so common, but we don’t really have the vocabulary for these things.
@21 Jack D: And, of course, your people would be doing the screening and they would decide who was sane. What could possibly go wrong? We already have such a thing, now law in a number of states, and it’s been used to confiscate guns from a number of Whites. Because their ex-wives or girlfriends or diverse neighbors or cat lady relatives claimed they were ‘scary.’
You really are an alien pustule on what used to be America.
1) This guy doesn’t sound like your standard Islamic extremist. Islam appears to be little more than a part of his identity he can use to feel aggrieved and a reason to hate the majority, white culture.
This guy wasn’t radicalized by Islam. He was radicalized by the Democratic Party and the mainstream media. He was made to feel he had a legitimate reason to hate white Americans – and even a reason to murder them. The tolerance and excuses made for violence during the riots last year by everyone on the Left were more a contributing factor to this man’s behavior than anything ISIS ever said or did.
2) That is probably part of why he chose a store in Boulder, despite living several miles away in Arvada. Boulder is the Whitopia of the Denver metro area. It is exactly where you would expect to go to find a store almost entirely full of white victims – and that is what he found.
It will be interesting to see on the security video if he simply didn’t come across any non-whites in the store, or if he did but chose to let them go (even though al-Issa is technically white). I would wager there is a solid chance he came across a few non-whites and chose to let them go. Boulder may be super white, but even there you are going to find a non-white customer or employee. That would probably be enough evidence to add a hate crimes charge.
3) If all the allegations by his family and former classmates are correct, there should have been more than enough evidence to deny this guy the right to buy a gun. Someone – his family, his school, or law enforcement – didn’t do what they were morally and/or legally obliged to do.
4) Some news sites have pointed out that a court in Colorado just overturned a gun control law ten days before this happened. That law was only in Boulder. It wouldn’t have done a damn thing to keep al-Issa from purchasing a gun anywhere else in the state.
5) However, what they should be focusing on is the fact that the Democratic legislature and Governor Jared Schutz just passed a law eliminating the death penalty last year. Al-Issa appears to have had the presence of mind to do what he needed to do to keep from being killed by the cops – stripping down to his shorts to show he was unarmed and didn’t have a suicide vest. He wanted to stay alive, and by eliminating the death penalty, Schutz and the Democrats have allowed him to.

“Mental illness” as a criterion to bar someone completely from exercise of a Constitutional right is terrifying and dangerous. First of all, how is “mental illness” defined and by whom? Did someone have to see a therapist for awhile after suffering a loss? Have they ever taken psychiatric medications for any condition? (A huge percentage of the country has at some point.) It’s already blindingly obvious that the modern American left, true to form for any incipient totalitarian movement, regards its opposition as presumptively mentally ill and would bar them from participating in public life altogether. Democrats in New York have already proposed a law to screen gun license applicants’ social media for badthink.
The criterion should be what it already is: whether someone has been adjudicated by a court, on the basis of clear and convincing evidence and with notice and opportunity for a hearing, that they pose a danger to themselves or others. And that criterion, danger, is what people should be watching for. I’ve said this since Sandy Hook. The general public isn’t qualified to diagnose strangers with mental illness. They’d call anyone who seems to them a little weird “mentally ill.” People understand danger though, and threatening behavior.
If somebody is adjudicated that they pose a significant threat to society shouldn't they be institutionalized for treatment of some sort?
The focus on guns specifically seems more political than really practical.
And +1 to your first point about the slippery slope of using "mental illness" to stigmatize, disenfranchise and imprison political enemies.
Psychiatry and psychology nowadays is still quite rudimentary and the determination of normal vs pathological behavior is highly subjective except in relatively extreme cases. And clinicians differ all the time on what diagnoses are for a given person let alone what treatment to use, how durable any "cure" or period of remission will be, etc.

Wasn’t that amazing? When 9/11 happened, the initial question I asked (and asked, and asked, and am still asking) was where in God’s name were the F-16s? Any hijacked planes redirected towards population centers are supposed to be shot down if they do not comply with orders to land. Shooting down commercial aircraft would be a tragedy, and a weapon in the hands of our fifth-column fourth-estate, but allowing FOUR hijacked aircraft to do what they did, unmolested by our air defenses, was more than a tragedy – it was an as-yet-unremarked-upon scandal.
The reason, however, I did not immediately ask why have we not ceased all immigration from hostile third-world states was because…..and this is dating myself, I understand….I assumed, following an atrocity like 9/11, that any government comprised of grown-ups aware of which side they were on would have done so without being prompted by media or citizenry. If there was a radicalizing moment, or series of them, that awakened me to the ongoing “existential threat” presented by our embedded traitor class, it wasn’t solely 9/11 but its hideous aftermath – the Deep State feigning hearing loss on immigration, the dancing rooftop Israelis, that sick joke of the “commission hearings”, and above all, the wide dissemination of that vile and treasonous Project For A New American Century doctrine of perpetual war, Rebuilding America’s Defenses.

Noticeable.
Here's a pleasant surprise. The UK proposes a serious, detailed approach to curtail illegal immigration. It seems like they tried to think of everything to stop the baloney and made appropriate changes. We will have to see if they stick to their guns and if it survives court challenges. They have a real advantage by not giving citizenship to all children born there. They can deport families who have been living there for a number of years with no worries about citizen children:
"Illegal migrants will be denied the right to settle in the UK even if they are granted asylum under plans by Priti Patel to crush people-smuggling.
The Home Secretary is proposing that those who get asylum will only be granted "temporary protection status", which means they will be regularly reassessed for removal from the UK, have limited family reunion rights and no access to benefits unless destitute.
Only those who come to the UK through legitimate routes – via official Government refugee schemes from war zones or to escape persecution – will be entitled to indefinite leave to remain."

Interesting.
I’ve been hearing mixed messages about the reliability of UK Conservatives on immigration. Deportations were apparently way down last year (by over 80%) and, far more importantly, they threw the flood gates wide open to millions of Hong Kongers.
This news sounds a little better, but so far the overall news isn’t good. The British people are being betrayed yet again.

Why should convicted felons of one state be barred from buying guns in another state?
The felony for which they were convicted may have had absolutely nothing to do with violence or guns. It could have been for tax evasion or pedophilia.
They could be former lawyers who swindled their clients, served time in prison, and now need a gun to protect themselves.
The real reason for banning convicted felons from buying guns are clearly 1) that judges are thinking about protecting themselves from vengeance, and 2) that it provides a nice easy way of sending gang members back to prison for violating probation.
This poor Colorado immigrant man was the victim of Trump Derangement Syndrome, a kind of mania that was explicitly encouraged by big tech and big media. It compounded with his Muslim heritage, which told him that the best response to his feelings of anger … was to just go along with them and shoot and stab until he felt better.
The pure faith is observed in Dearborn, Mi, home to one of the largest populations of Muslims outside the Middle East. No shooting – just stabbing.
You sound like you are doubting, Thomas.
There are different categories of psychiatric medications and different categories of diagnosis in the DSM diagnostic system.
All you would have to do would be to say is that people who have been on certain types of antipsychotic medication or who have been given certain diagnoses should be subject to additional mental health screening, social media checks, and maybe a mandatory waiting period before they can buy a firearm or ammunition.
In the discussion about whether the Duke and duchess of Sussex were married three days before the public ceremony, one issue raised was the publishing of the “banns of marriage” which have to be publicly announced three times, so that if anybody has an objection to the marriage, for example on grounds of bigamy, they can come forward and declare it.
It might be a good idea to have public announcements that people with histories of mental illness are applying for permission to buy a gun, and giving any member of the public who knows them personally an opportunity to state an objection.
The United States already has local mental health courts where people who are under mandatory mental health treatment orders are able to file writs of habeas corpus and request that they be released, while others may object to the court that they should not be released.
The role of these courts could easily be expanded to determine whether people who have objections against them owning guns should be allowed to do so.

this guy deliberately chose to attack his biggest supporters AKA disarmed liberals who are totally supportive of him being a US citizen. if he had picked a different town, there’s a high chance he would have been shot and killed after the first couple rounds he fired. lots of towns in Colorado are exactly like Texas. filled blue collar truck driving Trump voters who are carrying.
his purported plan to attack a Trump rally sounds like total bullshit. he didn’t do it because he knew he’d be killed in less than a minute. Boulder police allowed him to walk around and shoot people for an hour.

There’s another aspect to it too, Wilkey. One pillar of the Invade-the-World/Invite-the-World project (™-Sailer) is that the killing and maiming of people in certain foreign lands can be used as a great excuse to import some of them, including families of those killed and maimed, into the US as “refugees”.

I knew a speed user who told his sister the fBI was following him. She believed him and when she met with him later that day and questioned him, she realized he’d turned paranoid.
He was not at all thin and his teeth were not rotted. He was in his early 20s when this happened.
Right after his 30th birthdate, he asphyxiated himself w/ fishing line in the garage The family never knew if it was intentional (he claimed in a letter that his wife, who was stoned all the time, didn’t love him) or if this was a erotic sexual practice gone wrong.
I've heard of people "enjoying" manual strangulation (obviously don't overdo it ;-) and even hanging (it often goes wrong and they die, see this guy for details, unless it WAS foul play) but with fishing line? That would be like garotting yourself for pleasure. Seems unlikely.
Yes, appears to be paranoid schizophrenia, pretty clear in hindsight. But who would even bothering trying to report those prior incidents and risk being branded a racist. Dylon Roof is an evil monster who must be put down, this poor sap is a victim of society. And he is, because absent the wokeakholics, he might have received life changing treatment.
Now, to the point, a smart guy like you ought to be able to see how the idea you support is going to go. OK, just a form, no problem. Americans will need to self-certify that they have no psychological problems when buying guns or ammo.
Then, all psychologists and psychiatrists will be required to submit "paperwork" on line on all patients to be collected by the BATFE to be sent to gun stores who will be required to check that database before any sales. There will be new government bureau attached to the BATFE for that. We're gonna need that to do this right, agreed, Jack? However, many people may be referred to psychiatrists by other doctors who don't ever go visit. So, this will absolutely have to be expanded to all physicians too.
Next, vindictive doctors on a left-wing bent, and there are some, will be free to report whomever they want. At some point, the definition of "needing psychiatric help" will be expanded per a few E.O.s from the executive branch. That'll do for a while, but the next step will be to allow individual names or names of members of "un-psychologically-sound" groups to be entered into the database directly by the FBI, State law enforcement, and any other member of law enforcement, down to the TSA and mall cops. It's too much trouble to keep categorizing people and issuing E.O.s, you know, plus the President is busy with killing people overseas too, so ...
I don't see how one can support this stuff unless one has no knowledge of what ever went on in Totalitarian countries over the last century or two. Let me put it this way: What CAN be used against you WILL be used against you! Maybe you've heard that already in person, hopefully not Jack.Replies: @Jonathan Mason, @theMann

‘Regular-Americans’ have been the prime participants and supporters of the wars in the Middle East over the past 2 decades that have killed, wounded, disfigured, displaced millions of people in the Middle East. The hate directed at the Middle East by the mainstream media has been much greater, and the crime and culpability of the lashing out at the Middle East has been much greater.
The term “blacked out” seems problematic, if accurate.
Hopefully, voices in the establishment media will hit upon the idea that dude was a victim of Islamophobia, driven to his crime by bullying.
This will help to further alienate the bulk of Americans, further reduce the media’s influence over us, and thus liberate us, making a counter-revolution more likely.
Former felons have been prohibited by federal and all state laws from possessing rimfire and centerfire guns for 53 years. The questions on a Form 4473 pertaining to misdemeanors, mental illness, drug use and domestic violence are on the form. Non-resident and resident aliens are permitted to buy firearms provided they meet documentation requirements, and they must also fill out the same Form 4473 as a US citizen.

I also think that you have to distinguish between "paranoid" in the colloquial sense and in the clinical sense.

This is a little nuts in its own way but it's not the same thing as schizophrenia with paranoid delusions. People who exhibit genuine paranoid delusions should not be allowed to buy guns.

I’m basically to the point where I automatically discount anything that comes out of a newsreader’s mouth or that is printed on the front page of a newspaper. If that’s paranoid, so be it.
The problem, as always, is that the people who will decide that one has the mental competency to own firearms will be the same sort of people that are in charge of issuing concealed carry permits in NYC.
“Have they ever taken psychiatric medications for any condition?”
How many cops in America are taking or have recently taken prescription psychoactive medicines, e.g. Xanax? How many cops drink excessively?
How many cops have guns?
Justice is swift and sure in those countries and diversity isn’t a thing either.
The rationale for denying convicted felons the right to own firearms is the same as that for the other civil disabilities that apply (or at least used to apply) to convicted felons, such as loss of the right to vote or to be elected to public office. All felonies were originally capital offenses (see Blackstone). Gradually the death penalty ceased to apply to most felonies, but the felon was still considered “civilly dead” and lost many of the rights of a citizen.
The Fourteenth Amendment provides (§1) that “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.” In §2 it provides that “Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.”
Thus, a person who has been duly convicted of a crime may be condemned to suffer slavery or some other form of involuntary servitude as a punishment. This can include such limitations on his freedom for the remainder of his life as Congress shall legislate.

“Did they ever mention his strange and violent behavior to his doctor or otherwise try to get him help? Did they even try to talk to him about it? How about anybody at school or the criminal justice system when he got arrested for hitting a classmate?”
You make an excellent point, but this is just a variation of “see something; say something”, which, again, doesn’t work so well when the guy’s name is something resembling Ahmad (or Muh-ammad). Once he declared himself to be a victim of islamophobic bullying, he was basically bulletproof. Would you want to be the counselor or psychiatrist who has to read a HuffPost/NYT headline — it practically writes itself — along the lines of “Gaslighting the victims: I told them I was being bullied for being a Muslim, and then they told me I was the one with ‘mental issues’”?
The opening paragraph will be something like “In a decision reminiscent of Soviet-era psychiatric wards for dissidents, a young Muslim man was subjected to court-supervised psychiatric….”

I have a semi-personal connection to the Columbine massacre – I know people who were there. I’ve researched the event fairly extensively.
After the shooting, there were many rumors about the killers’ being bullied by the “jocks” – the wrestlers and the football players. Reportedly, the wrestling team captain – a state champion – was a real-life Biff Tannen. The media created a Revenge of the Nerds narrative about 4/20 that has never been fully debunked, despite the efforts of various revisionist authors.
(One best-selling book even makes the dubious claim that Eric Harris was a popular chad. According to the people I know who knew him, that’s total BS.)
So now we’ve come full circle – now the jocks are the ones going around shooting random people. And the nerds are the ones doing the bullying.

It seems like they tried to think of everything to stop the baloney and made appropriate changes. We will have to see if they stick to their guns and if it survives court challenges.

"Illegal migrants will be denied the right to settle in the UK even if they are granted asylum under plans by Priti Patel to crush people-smuggling.
The Home Secretary is proposing that those who get asylum will only be granted "temporary protection status", which means they will be regularly reassessed for removal from the UK, have limited family reunion rights and no access to benefits unless destitute.
Only those who come to the UK through legitimate routes – via official Government refugee schemes from war zones or to escape persecution – will be entitled to indefinite leave to remain."

Sounds like a great law. Now all it needs is to be enforced.
Both the original Mafia and most law enforcement outfits have the same sort of rule. If anyone in your family was on the opposite side of the fence at some point, they won’t let you join.
So this may be useful for some screening. However it is “unfair” to punish the sons/daughters for the sins of their fathers/mothers.
For all gun purchasers, obviously not going to fly. Daddy might be nuts but you probably aren’t. In this Colorado instance, what we see is the common manifestation of ‘schizoid” behavior emerging in males in their late teens, early adulthood. His friends/family noticed. But until he acted out, nothing could be done.
The real problem is both “evil” and “mental issues” can’t really be detected in advance for most circumstances. Yes, we’d be safer if that could be done. But we don’t live in Magic Land.
More generic gun laws (constitutional carry) might reduce mass shootings due to victim interference. But like stopping crazies, it is a pretty random solution. There are (very unpopular) laws which can apply if someone reports a person who is “acting out”, crazy etc. but has firearms. They can in some circumstance have firearms temporarily taken away; subsequently adjudicated. Still not very effective.
Crazies can/do also use knives, arson, improvised explosives to carry out their misdeeds.
Society foolishly let all but the most obviously deranged people loose and no longer bother to try to keep them away from the public. So efforts in that direction seem unlikely.
Unless you hold to the idea that punishing millions of innocent citizens to prevent the unpredictable acts of a tiny number of crazies (which only shuts down one avenue of violence) this entire subject is a dead end.

Which medical schools in the United States are still teaching Freud as an alternative to psychotropic drug therapy as a treatment for severe mental illness?
When somebody is presenting symptoms such as believing that their former high school is bugging their cell phone, they would most likely be given antipsychotic medications like Risperdal, olanzapine, or if these are not effective, Clozaril.
They would not be given Prozac unless they had significant depressive symptoms, and Xanax is very rarely prescribed by proper mental health professionals as ii is extremely habit forming and also likely to exacerbate symptoms by causing disinhibition.
It is well recognized that people who demonstrate paranoid symptoms in a paranoid personality disorder or in paranoid schizophrenia are the most dangerous of all mentally ill people.
This concept has been known for a very long time and goes right back in forensic psychiatry to McNaughton, well before Freud’s time.
Unfortunately in recent decades advocates for the mentally ill have continually pushed the point of view that only a very small percentage of mentally ill people are dangerous to the public, which may even be true.
What they leave out is the fact that when people do truly insane things that are dangerous to the public, almost 100% of them are mentally ill.
Prozac and Xanax are very widely prescribed for mild to severe depression. Paranoia is often a result of situational depression. Fired from a job can’t get another one because you’re a White man. Can’t afford to live in your house anymore because the utility and property taxes have risen so much you can’t pay them
The psychiatrists believe Prozac and Xanax work. Patients get out of bed go to work care for their children and function with those meds.
You’re not a psychiatrist or psychologist. You don’t live in America. You’re not familiar with the dysfunctional mental health system. Some kids are bullied to the point of suicide in the UK. Happens every year.
Just because he was big and a wrestler doesn’t mean he wasn’t bullied. Maybe he was lying he was bullied. No way he would have been institutionalization. There’s an anti risperdal movement in America Some claim it doesn’t help and makes the patient worse.

I wonder if there is an easy way to compare rates of non-violent psychopathy across countries.
I’ll go a step further: what’s SO special about guns? Yes, they’re a generally efficient personal weapon but, as we saw in Europe repeatedly a few years ago, you can also do pretty serious damage by driving a car or van onto a crowded sidewalk. Stabbing has also been used. As have Pressure Cooker bombs (since Tsarnaev has been in the news lately regarding his possibly reimposed death penalty).
If somebody is adjudicated that they pose a significant threat to society shouldn’t they be institutionalized for treatment of some sort?
The focus on guns specifically seems more political than really practical.
And +1 to your first point about the slippery slope of using “mental illness” to stigmatize, disenfranchise and imprison political enemies.
Psychiatry and psychology nowadays is still quite rudimentary and the determination of normal vs pathological behavior is highly subjective except in relatively extreme cases. And clinicians differ all the time on what diagnoses are for a given person let alone what treatment to use, how durable any “cure” or period of remission will be, etc.
Incredible coherent logic. You’re a straight shooter with upper management written all over you. But whatever faint goodwill lingered from decades of sustained dogmatic messaging about tolerance and diversity was completely liquidated during the 2012 Barack Re-Up campaign.

Why are there Muslims in the US and Canada, the UK and Western Europe, Australia and New Zealand?

The white-hating Muslim zealot in Boulder was both a terrorist and violent criminal, initially the latter and then the former.
In a sane country, there’d be no Muslims -since their impact and presence as a group is not only negative and often baleful and horrific but also totally gratuitous- or, at worst, a small and negligible number who were fastidiously “vetted” and then vigilantly surveilled for emergent radicalism and potential terrorism.

I don’t know about Al-Issa, but what you find in the backgrounds of a lot of the mass shooters is frequently the prescription and administration of psychotropic medications or the abrupt cessation of their use before the shooting. They’re indicated for suicidal ideation.
Naturally, the pharmaceutical companies dwarf the gun industry and the NRA in sheer size and reach. It would not surprise me if the real scandal here is that the psychoactive medications cause homicidal ideation in some and this fact has been suppressed. The institutional Press has a conflict of interest because as I’m sure you’re aware Big Pharma advertises a lot on network television and in print media (Pharma ads were like half of the print in Newsweek before they stopped printing).
So, of course Big Pharma has an abiding interest in making these shootings by users of their products about the guns to deflect attention from a common thread uniting mass shootings (the first kind, as Steve would put it – not the ghetto beef mass shootings).
Donald Trump won election in 2016 – with overwhelming support from “Regular-Americans” – on a platform that included ending the pointless Middle Eastern wars.

If you really believe that the average American supports these adventures, your knowledge of the US is not very deep. You are correct that those doing the fighting tend to be Americans rather than Paperwork-Americans, however the reasons for this are many and not the point of this post.
Very little that the federal government does is supported by Americans. For example, few Americans supported the importation of millions of hostile foreigners, one of whom is now Vice President.
From your name and the contents of your comment, I assume you are from the Middle East. It would be good for Middle Easterners to understand that America is filled with Americans as well as 100mm or so foreigners and aliens that, for reasons not germane to this post, hold citizenship.
The mainstream media includes very few Regular-Americans, and lots and lots of Paperwork-Americans.
Now, to the point, a smart guy like you ought to be able to see how the idea you support is going to go. OK, just a form, no problem. Americans will need to self-certify that they have no psychological problems when buying guns or ammo.
Then, all psychologists and psychiatrists will be required to submit "paperwork" on line on all patients to be collected by the BATFE to be sent to gun stores who will be required to check that database before any sales. There will be new government bureau attached to the BATFE for that. We're gonna need that to do this right, agreed, Jack? However, many people may be referred to psychiatrists by other doctors who don't ever go visit. So, this will absolutely have to be expanded to all physicians too.
Next, vindictive doctors on a left-wing bent, and there are some, will be free to report whomever they want. At some point, the definition of "needing psychiatric help" will be expanded per a few E.O.s from the executive branch. That'll do for a while, but the next step will be to allow individual names or names of members of "un-psychologically-sound" groups to be entered into the database directly by the FBI, State law enforcement, and any other member of law enforcement, down to the TSA and mall cops. It's too much trouble to keep categorizing people and issuing E.O.s, you know, plus the President is busy with killing people overseas too, so ...
I don't see how one can support this stuff unless one has no knowledge of what ever went on in Totalitarian countries over the last century or two. Let me put it this way: What CAN be used against you WILL be used against you! Maybe you've heard that already in person, hopefully not Jack.Replies: @Jonathan Mason, @theMann
It is all a pointless regulatory circle jerk anyway- a hefty percentage of mass shooters use stolen weapons, frequently from relatives. Others simply use weapons obtained illegally, probably about as easy to do as getting drugs. I dont personally know how difficult it is to get either, but I am guessing not hard at all.
The other half of the circle jerk is Politicians pretending to do something, while they hide behind gated communities with armed guards.
One could try the horribly illegal Russian method – ruthlessly, and brutally, destroy the families of Muslim Shooters, high cost, but it does work.
Unfortunately, a hefty majority of Americans can’t accept a simple truth – there is no good solution to Crazy/Evil, only a variety of bad ones. Politicians, of course, always propose confiscation and maximum paperwork.

The Army has shrinks. Some of them went to the sandbox, mostly to the Green zone. A major job for shrinks in the Green zone of the sandbox: try to figure out if a guy was gonna kill himself or not. Well,s oldiers in such a place can be kept track of pretty easily. Their electronic communications can easily be monitored, and any physical mail inspected. They can even be kept off to themselves for a while in a nice, comfy room with a lock on the door.
Yet it turns out that while it’s pretty easy for a soldier to top himself, it’s also really difficult to determine that in advance. If psych types cannot predict this in a regimented environment, how are they supposed to do something similar with civvies here in the land of the free?

Jack D: “The Bath School massacre happened almost a century ago and nothing has really changed:”
From your wiki link:
In November 1926, he drove to Lansing and bought two boxes of dynamite at a sporting goods store.[18] Dynamite was also commonly used on farms, so his purchase of small amounts of explosives at different stores and on different dates did not raise any suspicions.
So quite a bit has actually changed. It’s amazing to realize that, when America was still more or less a free country, anyone could purchase dynamite and machine guns at sporting goods or hardware stores. Of course, few would really want to return to those times. Ordinary people much prefer security to liberty. If the price of security is living under totalitarianism, they’ll willing pay it.
The same crime networks that run drugs into the white suburbs also have access to stolen i-phones and electronics, stolen cars, stolen prescription drugs, shoplifted clothing and stolen guns. Black neighborhood theft gangs sell stolen and straw-purchased guns 365 days a year to former felons.

True on the sexual frustration angle.
It’s important to note their lack of “getting any” is almost always because they are overweight and/or unkempt video game addicts with little material resources, yet they still expect to date attractive women. Even the ones with seriously personality issues could probably find a partner if they settled for their overweight, unkempt female counterparts.

Some states even bar felons from using muzzle loading firearms and cap and ball revolvers. Kentucky which has rather good firearms laws, defines a firearm as “Firearm means any weapon which will expel a projectile by the action of an explosive.” So the felon might be safe from Federal charges with a cap and ball revolver, but would be subject to the state law barring felons from possessing firearms.

“Psychopathy” is defined as having abnormal indifference to the suffering of others. Unfortunately, the term “abnormal” is relative. In many societies, people normally care only about the suffering of close kin and close friends (and of course their own personal suffering).
https://evoandproud.blogspot.com/2009/08/milgram-experiment-cross-cultural.html
As Colin Wright points out, this indifference does not lead to high levels of interpersonal violence in most Arab societies. How come? Well, there’s normally a “balance of terror” in those societies. An act of violence will invite retaliation from the victim’s kinsmen. So a man will think long and hard before acting on his impulses. In the West, however, we have an “imbalance of terror.” Violence doesn’t lead to retaliation. There is no eye for an eye.

You expect criminals to sign an affidavit they have never been convicted of a crime and are not mentally ill? LOL
Many states have a waiting period , 3-5 days. The gun shop dealer or licensed dealer who has a booth at the swap meet just enters the buyers information into a national crime data base and if the prospective buyer has a criminal conviction he can’t but the gun when he returns.
Dealers often refuse to sell to Black women because it’s well known that since so many black men are criminals who can’t buy guns, dealers assume any black woman might be buying it for a criminal man.
Most guns used by black criminals are bought privately. Many are stolen either from army bases, shops or private homes and shops during burglaries. Many guns never used in crimes are bought privately inherited given as gifts whatever
Read any gun control proposal. You will find it’s already a law. And legally, it’s not possible to deny any person never convicted, not just charged with a felony to buy a gun in the million to 1 chance he might go to a supermarket and shoot ten strangers .
As for the attack in a fellow student, he was a minor and no matter what he did the record of a minor would be concealed and not on any law enforcement database. If he was charged it was probably a misdemeanor A&B.

Oh please. Give the immigrationism a rest.
Sane, mature responsible people–who actually care about their nation–don’t just look for some utopian”a solution”, to social problems, they look for things that improve–rather than screw up–society.
Even after you toss out all the routine blacks-shooting-blacks stuff, over half of what’s left is still “diversity makes us more trigger happy”. The proportion that are flat out immigrants or nursing some sort of basically immigration/diversity related issue–not fitting in, not getting white girls, people looking at them funny, fixation on some overseas grievance–is large.
My fellow white people aren’t the most bolted down folks in the world, but absent “diversity” the joint gets a lot more sane. Not adding even less bolted down foreigners to the mix is the easiest–most obvious and sensible–improvement imaginable.
If we could deport everyone all excited and emotionally invested in some foreign mess–Israel/Palestine, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Cyprus, the Balkans, Northern Ireland, Kurdistan, Armenia, Kashmir, Punjab, Burma, Uighurs, Tibet, Taiwan … including anything and everything in Africa … that would be a huge upgrade to the comity and sanity of our nation as well.
Rein in the minoritarian insanity and everything gets better. And then we can start improving–eugenics, executing or expelling crims, locking up loons, return to patriarchy
This obsessive Jewish immigrationism–immigration now and forever without end–is just a sociopathic nightmare. An offense against reason, logic, mathematics, morality–against basic human nature, against humanity.

Vendettas sometimes occur in African American communities, but not to the same extent as in the patriarchal societies of North Africa and the Middle East. This is partly because many African American families are matriarchal (there is no male head of the household) and partly because other male adults have weak or problematic relationships with their families. This is a general characteristic of atomized Western societies.

Lessee...I've been in twenty five - thirty countries, all told, five of them Muslim.
Of those, I've had perilous encounters in the US, of course -- but given the fact that I've spent the overwhelming majority of my time here, that's hardly surprising. Outside of that, the only times I've actually been aware of being in danger was once in Guatemala -- not Muslim -- and twice confronted by white loonies -- once in Germany and once in England -- also not Muslim. I was seriously defrauded in India -- possibly but probably not by a Muslim. At any rate, India certainly isn't a Muslim country.
I did have a border guard in Pakistan seriously try to get me to 'purchase a visa' that I knew I didn't have to have. Eventually he gave up. When I was in Iran immediately prior to the revolution, I took the precaution of saying I was Canadian (wink-wink nudge nudge). Does that count?

A Truck of Peace, no doubt. It’s become traditional in Europe/UK, now that Christmas is on the verge of abolition.

You do know about the Persian Armenian Russian and Israeli auto repair shops don’t you? Smart S Californians find a Mexican run shop. I always go to the German car shop run by honest Mexicans in Culver City.

‘…avoid saying and doing things that could be misinterpreted…’
That sounds like the time I thought the ablution facility for prayers in Morocco was a somewhat strangely equipped urinal.
…the Moroccan who noticed was very nice about it.

‘…If you’re staying with local people, you will enjoy the protection of your hosts. If you’re just wandering around by yourselves, you are indeed “taking your lives in your hands” unless you take certain precautions…’
That hasn’t been my experience at all.
Lessee…I’ve been in twenty five – thirty countries, all told, five of them Muslim.
Of those, I’ve had perilous encounters in the US, of course — but given the fact that I’ve spent the overwhelming majority of my time here, that’s hardly surprising. Outside of that, the only times I’ve actually been aware of being in danger was once in Guatemala — not Muslim — and twice confronted by white loonies — once in Germany and once in England — also not Muslim. I was seriously defrauded in India — possibly but probably not by a Muslim. At any rate, India certainly isn’t a Muslim country.
I did have a border guard in Pakistan seriously try to get me to ‘purchase a visa’ that I knew I didn’t have to have. Eventually he gave up. When I was in Iran immediately prior to the revolution, I took the precaution of saying I was Canadian (wink-wink nudge nudge). Does that count?
What have your experiences been?
“I’ve been saying this for a long time,” al-Ahmed told me. “People that think that these organizations; al-Qaeda, ISIS, are organic, non-state-backed organizations are either lying or are completely stupid.

Do you think this guy was released by Iranian or Chinese or Venezuelan despite his long trainings by CIA
and Army College and by Phoenix program ? When are going to attack Syria now for this ISIS ‘s barbaric murders ? Now America was really pissed off when Bangladesh denied US any role in investigation of cafe murder , USA really got mad when Bangladesh refused to link the attack to ISIS , thus denying US to bomb Bangladesh or drone Bangladeshi.Replies: @anon

“The CIA and MI6, its British counterpart, have recruited hundreds of Yemenis to work as mercenaries and spies gathering intelligence and coordinates of Yemeni military positions in Marib, al-Mahrah, Sana’a and Sadaa, and providing that information to their handlers, according to confessions given to the Yemeni Security Intelligence Service (YSIS) by at least six Yemeni nationals currently on trial in Sana’a for violating Article 130 of Yemen’s Penal Code.
The six men, who are being held in a detention facility in Sana’a, agreed to speak to MintPress about their experiences. They insist that abject poverty as a result of the ongoing war drove them to participate in the operation, which they said came with the promise of a $300 payout.
According to the men, the operation was carried out primarily at the Ghaydah Airport in eastern al-Mahrah. There, they joined dozens of young Yemenis recruited by the CIA for training by American and British officers on how to properly identify and describe; the use of cameras, sophisticated software programs and devices used to share coordinates; information gathering; and how to find and identify military leaders and headquarters, workshops, factories, laboratories, warehouses, checkpoints and launching sites for missiles and drones. Even the locations of the personal homes and vehicles of Ansar Allah members and other vocal opponents of the Saudi intervention were sought, according to the men.”

Nowadays to get a U.S. security clearance (at the secret/TS/SCI levels) your social media, finances, et al., will be monitored. Ahmad Al-Issa was talking jihadi crap on social media as was his father, Moustafa. These two were on the FBI radar, the FBI has said so.

His father had been imported from Libya under the “asylum” ruse, as a known Salafi troublemaker over there. His son who had mysteriously been allowed to go back to Libya with Dad and fight Gaddafi, and then return unchallenged, and his son’s equally defective brother, also well known to the spooks, then decided that they ought to “hit back” at the infidels they’d gone to school with by shredding masses of kids at a concert.

It wasn’t until the first three planes had crashed into the WTC and the Pentagon that fighters were ordered to go get flight 93. Two of them from Virginia beach did. They were both unarmed, and were prepared to ram flight 93 if necessary. Google “flight 93 intercept” and read for yourself.
At least in many areas in the US traditional bullying in school is way down. I think it started after Columbine, and while i have serious dislike for the excesses of “zero tolerance” measures that equate all sorts of normal things (like mild insults or pointing a finger at someone) to “violence”, the actual reduction in bullying is one good thing that’s come out of it.

Of course the rather perverse other side of this is the “snowflakes” and “safe-spaces” and hypersensitivity to any perceived, imagined, or imaginable slight which is significantly implicated in our current SJW BLM insanity. As it sometimes (often? always?) happens w/ social movements the pendulum has swung so far that the cure is worse than the disease.
Isn’t it weird that a little while after the US bombs Syria, a Syrian immigrant shoots up a US supermarket?

I’ve been following Steve Sailer around the internet since about 1997. I followed him from Vdare to UNZ That’s how I discovered UNZ.
It was a month after I followed Steve to UNZ that the Manchester bombing of British girls at the Arianna Grande concert. Were you reading UNZ then?
About 90 percent of the comments about the bombing by the misogynist White women hating MEN OF UNZ were in praise of the bomber and heaping much scorn and hatred of the White British girls he killed. As they jacked off salivating at the thought of underage girls in short skirts and make up being bombed by a Muslim.
It was really an eye opener at the lecherous old creep repressed child molesters the MEN OF UNZ are.
Go back to the Manchester bombing comments and read them. If you are a decent man and not a creepy pervert like most of the MEN OF UNZ you will be sickened by the lecherous sadistic perverted comments praising the Muslim bomber and hating the White British girls who were killed and injured.
The MEN OF UNZ hate White women and even little girls so I hate them right back.

Far too little, far too late.
Sadly, I’m old enough to remember when such a dereliction of duty – not by the pilots but by the top Air Force brass – leading to such an utter disaster would have immediately resulted in said brass resigning in disgrace……without being asked or ordered to. One ignoble reason to wish I was younger is to have been spared such knowledge.
Look…..let’s just stop talking about 9/11. It just plays hob with my blood pressure, and to no good purpose. Suffice it to say that one key result of the atrocity – an entire generation being propagandized not to ask uncouth questions, let alone demand actual answers – laid the necessary groundwork for a nation’s placid acceptance of last summer’s worth of Communist-directed rioting culminating in a blatantly-stolen election. We don’t expect the truth and we no longer reject the pablum we get in its place. You took the time to cobble up some lies, however laughable, Senator Capteeth, and gave Silicon Valley the high sign to begin suppressing any public skepticism – that’s good enough for us, we’re satisfied. God forbid Silicon Valley should disapprove of us.

Can someone post that illustrated chart to Meena Harris’ Twitter feed? I’ve never bothered to open an account there.
Since you mention that you’ve been wondering all this time what the heck the AF was doing…
The Air Force (and the military as a whole) was notified that a plane was hijacked (Flight 11 out of Boston) at 8:38 AM, only 9 minutes before it hit the WTC. They had a pair of armed F-15s in the air 15 minutes after the first contact from the FAA.
The military was not notified of any of the other planes until they had already crashed/hit their targets.
https://govinfo.library.unt.edu/911/report/911Report_Ch1.htm
The military did alright and even the FAA did alright all things considered. This was the first offensive use of a hijacked airliner ever (iirc) even after the tens (hundreds?) of hijackings in the late 60s to early 80s. it was not a threat the system overall was ever designed to protect against.
