"He directly pointed the gun at the vehicle and shot it up", says Latina Edwards whose 3-year-old daughter was hit when a neighbor opened fire on them with a shotgun. Edwards says it all began when the man, in his 20s, began calling her daughter, Amyria Parham, and another young girl offensive names. "I told him don't talk to my daughter no more because he was calling her and her friend 'hos'. My daughter is 3 years old. She don't know what a ho is", said Edwards outside Children's Hospital in Detroit where her daughter is recovering. When tensions escalated, Edwards says she tried to get away by jumping into a friend's van in hopes of driving away, but by then she says the man had retrieved a shotgun from one of his friends and he opened fire on the van. "I'm her only protection", said Edwards. "I tried to get away but he shot up the vehicle that we was in and that's how she got shot". Detroit Police are still searching for the shooter."- Detroit News

To shoot at young children can only mean he is insane.

And this is one of the reasons why guns should be restricted.

I agree with the idea behind having guns to protect one's self and their rights, but the USA(as is the rest of the world) is full of so many sick people.

There should be some type of control over them, a way of keeping them out of the hands of the insane.

Not an easy thing to do, with the amount of guns on the streets, but there needs to be a line drawn in the sand.

This guy doesn't deserve to be arrested. A little backyard justice would be better.

Wasup noentry, hope the rain is treating you well across the pond

Couple pondering inquiries to your train of thought in these comments.

Certainty a gun was used in this instance. But had it been a knife, or had he poured gas onto the child and lit her up, would you be calling for gas can/lighter restriction, or kitchen knife restriction? A well placed fork can result in the same finality.

As well, what is insane? Is it a predisposed condition, or a developed one or both? How could one possibly screen for this, Intelligence is obviously a subjective factor per individual. Tho couldn't an insane individual be smart enough to 'act' with a degree of normalcy, till they fulfilled whatever purpose they have, or just spontaneously occurs to them.

Are guns really the problem, or just a selected tool of senseless death/destruction?
If there are so many guns on the street, what are further restrictions going to accomplish among groups of individuals (criminals mainly) who use other methods in which to get firearms(ergo, not following any laws or restrictions)to begin with? A felon can not pass the background check to purchase a long arm or side arm. When/if it does happen, that is human error, not the guns. It is other means in which they get a firearm.

A gun does not commit a crime, no more then a gas can burns a person to death, or a knife stabs someone. It is just a selected tool, the intent of the individual is the culprit, and in most cases the signs to signal a mental defect is after the f/act.

I understand you feel this is senseless, and it is. But having, or not having a gun would not have changed the outcome of the intent.

Im so sick of people saying to restrict guns. The problems is the criminals will get them illegally like they all ready do and people that are good can't protect there family. when someone says make guns illegal it really means let the criminals have guns and the normal saine people cant protect there faimly against people like that. It is illegal for guns in some countries. but criminals still get them. even fellons in this country get them. people sneek guns in mexico. england and britan where guns are illegal crimanls still have guns. so again when u say make guns illegal your saying normal people can't protect themselves let crimals have em. sorry for the rant but it pisses me off. if some wacco or crack head messes with my family im gonna protect my family and its people like you who i feel is trying to stop me from protecting my family. think people. think before you say stupid stuff. u should have just said. let criminals walk around and shoot everyone because i dont want people to be able to protect them selves.

one more important point. when the world does go threw a diaster with no eletricity i will be able to hunt. well all you non gun lovers.. starve.

Great to hear from you constanbul. A fine post as always. Your logic is immaculate.

Funny enough we are in a heat wave at the moment. I am in my shorts sipping a bud watching the first day of our soccer season.

My argument is not with the tools. Even tho a gun is specifically a tool to kill, knives and others are tools for a different purpose.

My problem is with people. And you are right of course I one can not create a test to find the insanity in humans as insanity can a temporary construct of any number of situations.

And you are also right, to take the guns out of the hands of good people would give the criminal element of society everything they could desire.

I am voicing my anger at the death of an innocent because the guns are so easily available to the insane or more precisely the criminals.

As I stated in another post sanity is to know you are insane. In some way or another we all have a bit of insanity in us.

As it stands in today's society guns are here, we can not get rid of them all we can do is be killed by them, or to kill.

I know you are being a realist. And my post illustrates me as an idealist with no sense of reality.
However.
If every good American was to work towards a common goal.
Like taking the guns away from their children. Informing on the criminals who have guns. Putting forward the people who have no respect for life, who need to be re educated, to give them a sense of self respect and ultimately of others. It would go a long way. Then we could more easily find the medicaly insane.

But again I now I am being unrealistic as to do this would to mean inform on their friends, their neighbours and their familys. And with zero trust in the government and the way the world is, this is almost asking the impossible

But like the saying goes" if good men do nothing".

In the end it is about us as a society, how far are we willing to go, how long can we ignore the reality of the situation before we act as a whole?

We can not let this continue, a line must be drawn.
But to do so would make things much worse, before they would get better.
