Like the death sentence in all states hearsay? Also we need to quit with these "He was sentenced to 2 life sentences" Bullshit. What good is that shit? We should just shoot him instead of feeding him, keeping him warm, letting him watch tv and have sexual after hours(in some prisons). This is half the reason we are in debt, for retards behind a desk trying to make themselves look like good, nice, caring humane people. **** that, be a government for once.
I'm pretty sure the homicidal guy that plans to kill HIMSELF wont be deterred by the death penalty. Most people that commit crimes don't do it because there's a lesser punishment, their whole plan is usually to AVOID said punishment. Eye for an eye is never the answer. We should try to LEARN instead of blindly punish.

If they were more frequent and persistent, then changing gun laws could help, but US is very big and diverse state law wise, so it wouldn't really work anyways. Let's look the truth straight in the eyes. When you have a country drowning in recession, rising unemployment and poverty, these things will happen more frequently. Also look at the movies these days. Nothing but shooting and action. Video games have alot to do with this as well. Biggest problem is recession, anger, and frustration with not being able to live the dream. It effects all aspects of family life, teens included. Oh yeah, and schools aren't strict enough. Students fool around too much, create hostile environments for drugs, bullying and other bad things. Schools, teachers, rules have to be more stricter, less of what students can do, more of what teachers and principals can.
This happens more frequently than you give it credit for, it's not always a school shooting, but there are plenty of murders every day. I do agree that such extreme measures are not viable when we can't even afford to keep out schools OPEN. Strictness doesn't help a damn thing. Teachers that actually care about a students welfare is what's needed, being strict just makes breaking the rules that much funner. This is basically the same logic used with the war on drugs IE a complete phail.

I still don't see how this is even related to a mentally ill person vOv
