we have 3 grandchildren and one in kindergarten. We turned off the news for 2 days, just wouldn't/could not bring ourselves to watch it. Too unbearable. Too emotional. Nana and Papa hugged the kids over the weekend.

Lost in all of the gun debate and the other mass killings over the past 30 years, is that in 1980 President Reagan ordered (?) no more federal funds for institutions that housed the crazies. The lunatics were turned back to the communities. The dead mother of this latest killer made statements earlier that getting her son committed was next to impossible. Meanwhile . . .
Here in Minnesota we have more than 600 sexual predators locked in detention centers. They have completed their prison sentences. By law they cannot be released to society unless they are "cured". No one knows what "cured" means. In the history of the law, only 2 people have been released. Sex offenders must be registered with the local police who are required to notify residents of the area in which he/she lives about his/her home address. Lunatics are protected by privacy laws and no one knows if they are in the community. I hope the commission that is going to study the "gun issues" for the next six months looks at the number of crazies in our communities and considers locking them up, again.

The sad fact is that there will always be more lunatics and/or mental incompetents running loose in a society than those that can be identified, certified and committed.
These are the scariest people to me. And we've all known far too many. Then my mind sarcastically suggests Washington DC as a perfect example. Best, Kensal |

John, contrary to your post there is a free "app" that both of my daughters ( mothers of daughters) have on their iPhones and that is the location of where registered sex offenders live in relation to my daughters' zip codes. It is surprising and quite unnerving to discover that there are 7 within the area of their zip codes... this is in rural New Hampshire.

Yes, everyone should know about the sex offender registry and that you can check it online. Around here, you can get details on the conviction. We live in a gated community so we have a little protection that way. The greater Savannah area has become a war zone where crime is concerned.

That lunatic in CT wasn't on a sex offender list... yet he offended BOTH sexes by killing boys, girls and women.
My only point is that there will always be MORE screwballs running loose on the streets than there will ever be in "treatment." And their locations are unknown. Hence, the best defense for the individual is a Model 1911 loaded with 230 gr. FMJ ammo. It's a guaranteed lunatic pacifier. Regardless of whether he's listed or not. Best, Kensal |

Right, that point is well taken.
