I almost feel sorry for Obama. There's a mass shooting on his very doorstep and it only serves to strengthen the case against gun banning. The guy is just hopeless.
Mental health and background checks go together, without one the other is rendered useless. Several states have less than 10 people considered mentally unfit to own a gun, that needs to change.
Because she advocates for what the majority of Americans support...background checks that might very well save lives by keeping guns out of the hands of the unstable? She is a **** and she should suffer something? Wow!
No, because she supports removing all guns from every American....
Precisely. The Navy Dept. screwed up. Rhode Island police reported him to the Navy Dept. and no one did anything about it. If someone did their job, this guy would have either been on meds or getting psychiatric help and would not have been given clearance.
US Navy was warned that Washington shooter 'heard voices'
Only an ******* would call someone "filth" for wanting to prevent more mass killings.
Actually, if you do just a small amount of research, you will find that Virginia has no such law, nor is it a Federal law. A non-resident CAN purchase a long gun, with a back ground check.
Yes, the shooter DID test fire an AR at a Virginia gun shop, but he did NOT attempt to purchase it.
As usual, there is a lot of misinformation about this incident in the media.
will the NYT ever admit that they were wrong? IMO, it is very doubtful.
..and CLEARLY he could have had the opportunity to kill more and quicker. And keep reading the propaganda rag owned by The Reverend Sun Myung Moon. No wonder your info is so skewed.

It is also worthy of note that the shooter DID, on that day, purchase the Remington 870 shotgun that he used in the shooting spree. It is important to note that he PASSED THE REQUIRED BACKGROUND CHECK!
Now, please tell us how any background check law or "assault weapons ban" would have prevented this tragedy!
He would have found a way to do this with a legally purchased or illegally purchased weapon. The issue here is strenghthening (or overhauling) the existing backround check "problems"
