There is a side to this that keeps evading public scrutiny.


For as crazy as he may be, forcing medication now won't do anything.  However, preventing 'guns on the street' that allow mass killings can.

If Loughner didn't have the gun, the extended clip and the bullets in excess of what he could carry, those people wouldn't be dead, now would they?

Court denies emergency request to block forced medication of Loughner (click title to entry - thank you)

A federal appeals court late Friday denied an emergency request to block the forced medication of Jared Lee Loughner, the man accused in the Jan. 8 Tucson shooting spree that killed six and wounded 13, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Tucson.
A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied the requrest from Loughner’s attorneys for detailed, daily medical records to determine if the medication violated an earlier court order halting treatment. The court denied the request without prejudice, allowing defense attorneys to continue to pursue the issue in district court.
Loughner’s attorneys had filed the emergency motion Thursday, claiming that prison officials had started medicating Loughner against his will Monday in direct violation of a circuit court order less than a week earlier to stop such treatment...

In, Norway, there was a massacre.  In a society void of violence, there was a massacre.  The TEMPLATE for the bombing came from a legacy of a mass murderer in the USA.  

There would not be anything even a glock with an extended clip would have done to stop the murderer of so many on that island.  Nothing.  He was so well armed there would have been no chance of stopping him.  Where did he get that weapon and how did it go unnoticed in Norway?

I have more questions than the NRA has answers as to how the USA exports violence as well as guns.
