I see no need for you to be able to read any book you want or practice any religion you want. Let's make them illegal.

Are you sure that's a road you want to go down?

No, I see that as the major drawback. School teachers that speed six seven hours a day with kids are perfectly capable of flagging a troubled kid long before traditional professionals. The proviso would be somepne flagged by unconventual means could still have a path to undoing a flag and buy a gun. It would only warn federal officials that additional screening is needed. Seems like this guy fit that same loner profile that so many others exhibit.

Since when is being a loner indicative of mental illness?

School teachers are not qualified to make any kind of diagnosis. They often confuse normal adolescence with ADHD and want kids medicated lol

I see no reason to allow illegal aliens to take jobs

I see no reason a women would ever want to kill her baby.

I see no reason why liberals want to penalize success.

I see no reason why my income taxes should be so much higher than yours in absolute dollars.

I see no reason why Bloomberg thinks its acceptable to regulate the size of my Big Gulp.

I see no reason why food stamps should pay for junk food.

I see no reason why liberals are opposed to something as simple as an ID to vote.

But you have a problem with ownership of my semi-auto rifle rifle that has killed less people than Ted Kennedy's car.

Lol You win the firearms ignorance award.

A Glock is a brand of handgun, not some evil assault weapon.

A firearm has one simple purpose: to fire a projectile. Where that projectile goes is determined by its human operator. I own 3 AR's and mine have never killed anything. Are mine defective since you believe their only purpose is to kill?

That said, I've always been ambivalent about gun control. I still am. I cannot escape noting, however, that I've never heard of somebody stabbing 71 people.
No but there's been quite a few explosions world wide that's killed many more. What was that guys name in Oklahoma City ?

A few more than 71.

Why, what does it do that is not just like my hunting rifle ? I can have multiple high capacity clips.

A AR15 does no more or no less than any good Semi-automatic hunting rifle.
