Because I think he's got a psychological problem. Paranoia, Schitzophrenia, or he's a sociopath or psychopath.

And his guns should be taken away from him. Essentially he advocates for the death of children. How the hell does anyone in our society get away with that?

Schizophrenia? I doubt it. Paranoia? we all have a little so the question is.. how far does his go? Psychopath? I don't think so?
Sociopath? Most likely.
Definitely deep-seated inability to carry 2 opposing ideas in his head at the same time.

What was the nervous condition that got him out of serving his country during. Vietnam? . His doctor had to sign him off. HE should not be able to own a gun.

Regardless, the man is definitely on that end of the emptahy-spectrum, if you will.

that PROVES he has some sort of a personality problem...worst than the shooters...I absolutely refuse to say his name.

The same way McChimp, Rummy, Cheney, Kochs, Norquest..... you can add your own names to the list, sleep.

Their sleep is interrupted by thoughts of how their portfolio is doing... or if they will be able to keep their jobs, or if enough of the American people wake up to understand what pieces of shit they are....


Beyond that, they sleep quite well, thank you.

This man needs a thorough mental examination to find out why he is unable to feel sorrow or guilt or anger at the killings - only feels pity for himself.

Lots of folks have guns who don't agree with the NRA, God bless'em...maybe they're not insane.

Thank you for writing and posting this, it puts into focus what so many of us share and believe in.

Peace be to you and yours Mr Pitt.

Thank you, both for this op ed and for your continued fire in the belly around these issues.

I really think Wayne LaPierre has an abnormally undersized penis.

what is in my heart. Merry Christmas Will, we love you.

eom

Thank you.

.....this nation is living on it's past accomplishments......the future is being diminished every day.

I want to confront those people, but usually we cannot.

I want to prevent these types of things and to understand why some people, a SMALL minority, do what they do.

I don't want to blame tools/weapons/etc - I want to know why the very few use them in a way most never would.

But we don't talk about that, because that is a lot more difficult. Takes more work and maybe we don't want the answers to that why.

I don't want to work each day and have my taxes pay for drones and wars where kids are killed and so few make care enough to make ops/write articles about it.

This one really got me. Very well done, Mr. Pitt.

I want an end to Fear - fear that makes people want guns to protect themselves, or be like their favorite hero, or worse. I want and end to having to worry about nuts with guns, guns on TV/Movies/24/7 guns guns guns.

I want an end of Fear of people in other parts of the world, fear of the US in other parts of the world. Wars. Greed.

I want an end of Fear that we are becoming divided at the very time we need to come together to deal with issues like climate change, inequality, hunger etc.

Before reading this post I watched Oliver Stone's Untold History of the US on TV. This week's installment was about the VietNam years and I have to ask: Have we learned anything? I seems to me we are almost exactly where we were then concerning our violent society. Sometimes I wonder, are most of our leaders also sociopaths or is our country as a whole sociopathic? Can we not play well with each other or the rest of the world?

All excited that Santa is coming with presents for them, and that is when it really hit me that this monster killed kids young enough to believe in Santa and pure goodness. This is still just so incomprehensible to me. Sigh.

I had a rather somber Christmas compared to normal. All I could think of was those parents whose hearts are broken, probably trying to have a 'normal' Christmas for the sake of the siblings, and I couldn't stop hugging my kids (who were quite annoyed with me all day) and wondering how on earth I would cope with that.

It's all so horrible. I think the public reaction has shaken me to my core as well. Things are now officially more important than people according to a large part of the population. You even see it in this thread. Those sweet, innocent kids who had presents under the tree waiting...those sweet babies who never got to open their gifts...I had to choke back tears a good part of the day today (yesterday, I guess since it's after midnight now).

We must not disappoint the big box retailers.

And that from a proud non-Christian.

up.

While we were getting Christmas dinner ready, a male group of my in-laws decided to go to a shooting range to pass the time until dinner was ready. First, I was shocked that a shooting range would even be open on Christmas, but even more shocked that anyone I know would want to go to a shooting range on Christmas. These folks are not Adam Lanza crazy, but they are the type of folks that eat up the drivel that comes out of Wayne LaPeirre's mouth. I guess that's why he keeps saying it.

It was very active today.
