The important point here is that mentally-stable
persons won't pick up a gun and shoot others in the
face to begin with. Mentally-unstable people are more
likely to pick up a gun and shoot someone.
Mentally-stable VS Mentally-Unstable is the deciding
factor. An inanimate, non-living and therefore nonthinking
"object" like a gun, knife, pressure cooker or vial of
poison is NOT an object that willfully targets or has any
objective, whether tangible or intangibly possible.
The person or agent that "weilds" or uses the object
for bad or good is the agent or person responsible
for the action. "Guns don't kill people, people do..."
is the rational, logical and most reasonable and
provable circumstance.
In the case of arguements agains that:
Remove a killer's gun, rifle, knife, pressure cooker
or vial of poison, that killer will simply use stones
and sticks to kill...Probably larger sticks and stones
then, if they fail the first time. Killers will find
a way to accomplish their goal.
Getting ahead of reasons to kill and "seeing" or
"being awake" enough to recognize mental instability
that can kill really, really helps to prevent an
evil action in the process. Foresight and recognition
of a problem "in the process" will become more important
than pretending that "there is or can't be anything wrong."
Poor mental health is more dangerous than anyone
carrying a gun or driving a car/bus. Poor mental health
might give a killer the power to use 32 ounces of water
the power to kill (drown) without a gun or any firearms
or explosives or weopons of mass destruction.
Mental Health is the important issue and how mental
health gets recognized and treated. PTSD testing should
help!!!
