Reddy, that may not have been your intent, but it was the effect--especially when you doubled down on your apparent contempt by describing sport hunters as "sick". The attitude that comes across in your two posts is pretty much, "If you don't think the way I do, then you're a bad person."

As for specific points you raised, mass murderers don't kill themselves because they've realized that what they did was wrong. They kill themselves as the last act of control by a psychopath. They're essentially saying, "I'm going to guarantee that you can never bring me to justice. So there!"

Your admission that you don't know the current state of gun control laws is damning and seriously undermines your entire argument, although it does help to explain your attitude. It is a fact that, the more people know about the state and effectiveness of current and past gun control laws, the less likely they are to believe that more restrictions will do any good.
