[RICHARD]

Be sure and thank the NRA for his ability to purchase hollow point ammo! Constitutional Right you know!

Do I have time to thank VA for not letting people carry CWs on a campus.
And the factions that do not want schools to toss kids out because they are loony, The system that says this loon was goofy, signing a paper saying he was a danger to himself, but NOT being able to do anything about it?


I really hate to trivialize this incident, but I thought about this a few days after the shootings.

If someone had a raging case of crabs or herpes or ? and infected a whole slew of students - What can be done about that? Remember the HIPPA rules?You just can't 'out' people because of what is in their medical records.

While we are at it...
What about the idiots who lived with this kook for months but left him alone
because they thought he was different?

Trust me, I have worked with people that were off center and I made sure that people knew about it

I worked with a friiggen goofball reserve cop from some little city department.
She'd sit at her desk and paint faces on the bullets from her carry-on piece-I told my boss about it and there was nothing that she could do. I thought, "Oh well, I could always walk one flight upstairs to the ER if I ever need a .32 hollow point taken out...."

For the record,

HIPPA rules are very stringent rules regarding a person's medical history.
IF YOU HAPPEN to work in any medical enviroment where you have access to someone's medical history and you release it, you are screwed.,

People, who don't want the government to look into their private lives, computers, bank records and phone lines have to shoulder a little of the blame.

I mean, what does your psych records have to do with buying a gun?

Guns don't kill people, bullets do.

Nothing like a good trample on Constitutional Rights! Don't touch my instrument of death...but please search my personal life, computer, bank records, phone line...and my medical records while you at it! Don't forget to read my diary/journal while you are rummaging through my house. Might be something in there you need to know....

In fact, I have an idea...when the government is done rummaging through personal lives...they can publish everything they have learned on a data base for employers. Then employers can make decisions based on it. For example...if you have a child with a serious medical condition...and the employer doesn't want the lost time or the high insurance costs that goes with it...they can just not hire you....

I agree with Richard...if information had been a little bit more open such as the information from the school counselors and the teachers that had worked this kid and *knew* he was certifiable we probably would have avoided alot of loss....however its against the law to share that information and they were unable to.

How would "sharing information from the school counselors and the teachers have avoid alot of loss."

How many kids do you suppose are odd...different...? And you are thinking counselors and teachers should report all of them to whom? And what would be done with all that info? And what if a teachers really dislikes you and reports you?

And..this is only one shooting. How about the guy who mentally tortured and then shot the Amish school girls? He had no record. He was a married man with three children...and a bunch of guns.

Do you think the government should start a "watch" file on married men with three children who have guns?
