Comment on Gun Control: Different Jewish View by B Nicole Sims

I noticed that you said that guns should be taken out of the hands of the mentally ill. With all of this depression, anxiety, ADHD, and plain personality complexes, that would leave no one with a defense for themselves. It’s up to families to monitor their members and make the authorities come and take them to a facility–if they are violent. But, NO, not all people with mental issues are violent. The families, neighbors, strangers could have gotten a clue that these men were a threat. Report it to the police. In some of these cases there was complicity by a family member by stocking a home with weapons with someone who was, to say the least, unpredictable. Don’t stigmatize people who are afflicted as most are not violent. Do better at reaching these youth who don’t realize the consequences of shooting someone over a squabble. Death is final! That’s where the real problem lies. These mass shootings were by people who were unhinged and threatening. Do you want to leave someone who has bipolar that makes them have rapid thoughts for a season, but is fine most years and never violent to never be able to protect themself when there okay? This is especially pertinent when they are a woman. Mentally bound people are good, caring people, usually, that don’t want to hurt anyone. They just want their peace of mind.

I agree, I really enjoyed the movie and especially the book. I’m kind of perturbed by the negative-sih reviews in the New York Times and also in the Salon. I can see how the movie is a little sugar coated, but still at the same time it’s AMAZING that Hollywood decided to make a movie based on so many interfaith themes symbolically and literally. I think that speaks volumes for itself- and I rather watch a movie promoting interfaith understanding/thinking than movies like Twilight.
