Not blaming the gun any more than the automobile. I'm advocating what
the majority of Americans want... a safer enviroment. Yes but it is not a safer environment only the illusion of one at the cost of our personal freedoms. Hate to tell you, but he probably had mental problems. Are you advocating locking those people up before they do anything? No but it is illegal for people with a mental illness to purchase a gun. He was just never diagnosed. I haven't seen anything that says he obtained the gun legally so I couldn't tell you how he got it or the cicumstances involved. Someone stated earlier that the serial numbers were filed off meaning that particular gun was already illegal since you are not allowed to own a gun that has altered numbers in any way. Tell me why?? That's not what you do when you register your gun or you need to supply ID and wait a couple of weeks while the authorities verify you are who you say you are and that you are a stable person. I am not saying that there should be no check but advocating banning the sale/ownership of a gun is a whole other story plus the check is done in about five minutes. The justification fro the wait is so you don't legally buy it then run out and kill someone in a crime of passion. Crimes of passion done with firearms has not gone down since this was put into place. As I said before kitchen knives, pillows, rope, a car all dangerous. Yes, for you. Rifles that are easy to modify to fully automatic are easily available. Yes and I can make a shotgun out of a peice f pipe with a nail in it. My Dad was a cop for 30 years and he showed me a bunch of homemade guns they confiscated. Modifying the gun to fully auto is illegal as well. Making "more illegal" isn't going to do anything. We need to do more in California. Talk to the NRA. They didn't want anything. Ever hear of three strikes? Prison populations are on the rise, not declining. Yes the NRA has to act on the extreme opossite just get a middle ground result. The NRA is the biggest advocate for using firearm education and safety training as gun control where all the liberals say that learning isn't the important part we should just take them away. The NRA sponsors more safety and education classes than anyone else when it comes to firearms but nobody talks about that side do they? Rant away... guns, guns, guns... sounds like a Monty Python script. Oh so because you have no real logical argument you have to start making personal shots against me. That's fine it doesn't bother me. |
