So... How Did This Guy LEGALLY Buy A Gun??!!

[waitingman]

A Colorado judge says a man accused of killing 10 people in a supermarket shooting in March is incompetent to stand trial.

'Boulder County District Judge Ingrid Bakke made her ruling during a hearing for Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, 22, where it was disclosed that two separate court-ordered psychological evaluations had both concluded that he is mentally unfit.'

'Armed with a legally purchased Ruger AR-556 pistol, Mr Alissa stormed the supermarket and opened fire, prosecutors said.'

'His attorney, Kathryn Herold, said that her client suffers from an undisclosed "serious mental illness".'

But no... no... stringent background checks for gun purchases are an attack on democracy!!

Because he is mentally unfit to take responsibility for killing 10 people and mentally sick can kill without any punishments(only we will pay taxes to keep these individuals in hospital to end of his days).

So my question remains... how was someone that was declared mentally unfit by at least 3 psychologists & suffering from a 'serious' mental illness, able to walk into a store & buy a gun that's capable of killing 10 people in a short time??!!

If you can't 'take responsibility' for your actions, or their consequences, WHY is it perfectly fine for you to have access to the weapon in the first place?

Thoughts & prayers are obviously easier to offer than courageous reform

Please, don’t ask why?

Answer very simple, because… people made some mistakes and people want make some money and e.t.c. and e.t.c. Personally, I don’t like questions “WHY?”… only because you can’t fix it by asking questions to someone who have no clue about root of problems. Sorry…

No clue? You honestly think I have no clue about the root of the 'problem'? Just because I live in Australia, which has a much more sensible gun policy & a population not bent on killing each other for stupid reasons & a murder/crime rate infinitesimally smaller than the US, a better social & medical welfare system & a much less rabidly partisan political rhetoric, that I don't pay any attention to what goes on in the rest of the world? Sorry - only American citizens ignore the rest of the world, not us...

You only don't like the questions Why? & How? because you're too afraid to ask them yourselves... or because you believe it when the NRA spoonfeeds you bullshit about gun ownership being fundamental to your 'freedom'. The more you kill each other & don't direct your frustrations at the institutions that have long caused them, the further your descent into lawless chaos - which 'They' will then tell you is why you need a bigger gun... & you'll believe that too

Don't get angry at us, when the rest of the WHOLE WORLD looks at your society & is horrified by its violent, blinkered short-sightedness. Get angry at the institutions that have put you there & keep you there

Or, at the very least, have enough open-minded humility to consider the idea that the USA way is NOT the best way. Asking Why? & How? is the best way to get information, get educated & stop swallowing bullshit propaganda. Anyone who tells you to not ask questions is a part of the problem, not the solution. At its heart, the USA is still a democracy & you are, at least allowed to ask questions of your leaders & argue, or protest the answers you're given. Be grateful for that freedom & USE IT!!!!!!!!!

Sorry... I got a little overheated about that... It's not an attack on you personally. It's easy to see the problem & its solution, when you're on the outside of it & not caught up in its consequences
