Here's a decent article that goes into why Card's guns weren't taken from him after it became clear to many people that he was psychiatrically unstable and dangerous. Long story short: the laws were in place, but people didn't act on them.
That means the families of the dead can sue the law enforcement and state.
Yay more tax dollars spent!
And if you act now, we'll throw in a free bonus of 'NO ACCOUNTABILITY'
At what point can authorities be held criminally liable for failing to enforce laws that protect people, and as a direct result someone gets killed? We need to be better about holding our institutions accountable.
Never, The Cops Won't even help you if you're being stabbed.
That’s a good question, but I don’t really know the answer. Someone else ITT mentioned the possibility of civil action against the people/institutions that should have acted. I don’t know if any other legal action is possible.
Needs to be taken as serious as a heart attack.
If you have chest pains at work, they call an ambulance right away. If you're at work and you talk about violent urges you have with your guns, it needs to be treated as if you're having a heart attack, as if it's a matter of life and death.
This is just needlessly hostile. You seem to dislike America, but imagine if the things that you dislike could change and America could be better. The article linked is a part of the process to understand and hopefully change things so that this kind of awfulness never happens.
Why be so unkind? You and OP appear to be on the same side, wrt being against gun violence.
That guys account was made yesterday, probably just to troll exactly like this
Edit: yeah he has 5 comments at this time all of which anti-American kind of content
