It was before my time, but the state run psych facilities were shut down. It wasn't because mentally unfit members of society were miraculously cured. Now all the cooks are blended into society and supposedly stable when on their meds. News flash: sane people dont always take their meds. So many stories never make it to the news of crazy people committing murder and the same goes for the sane ones. "You dont need guns, there are police to protect you." Lol. In reference to the undertaker, the cops they sent out were not the 20'something year old juice heads I was hoping for. These fat fucks would've been slaughtered. As for assault rifles: fully auto firearms have been outlawed for quite some time. You can put a 30 round magazine on just about anything nowadays. Sorry to hear about your friend Dix. Maybe its it's just different here in the south. its not like I ride around on my bicycle with the Ak strapped to my back. I like my guns.
