Which should be along any day now.

No big deal. That's just life in America.


There were two just today. One was a drug deal shooting in DeKalb Co., GA. The other was in WA and appears to be drug related as well.

How about if we put every kid who is on on "behavior drugs" (like Lanza, Holmes, Root) on a Terror watch list - of course we need to put their entire Family on that list also, in case the kiddos murder family and steal the guns. Does that work for you? How about if we let the Government Peek into everyone's browsing history to see if anyone looks at Islamic Terrorist websites? That would be helpful.

All of that good for you? I gotta be honest here - none of that is good for me, and yet it makes a lot more sense than this Nutty Idea that Guns have both Legs & Intentions and go into Schools,Theaters, Churches, Company Christmas Parties, Airplanes, Nightclubs, Army Bases, Art Shows, Subways, Navy Bases, Recruiting Centers ..... To shoot people.

But that's just me, I know many look at it differently. Many think the Evil Gun Can Walk & Shoot all by itself.

A large percentage of mass shootings are related to gangs or street drugs.

More inanity. What part of "It's not the inanimate hunks of wood, it's the deranged people who are allowed to own them" did you miss?

Again, this is why we can't have a discussion about the problem of mass shootings in this country. Because this is the mentality that we're dealing with.

Once again for the slow posters on this thread, no one is blaming the inanimate object, only the many, many idiots wielding them, idiots who have no business owning them.

But I know, I know, their rights MUST NOT BE INFRINGED NO MATTER WHAT!

I don't think that is possible, some FFL's in Alaska don't even have internet service. You can see from the Dylan Roof Case there was cross checking with the local courts and PD that takes time, 3 days is short.

You're right. Considering that the vast majority of mass shooters are Democrats or have strong Democrat leanings, maybe we should stop selling guns to anyone registered as a Democrat or known to be a liberal. After all, judging from the actions of Democrat leaders, we can assume that all Democrats lack common sense and should not have access to firearms.

Does allowing someone to buy a gun but not fly on an airplane equate to common sense.

Again, the system is already in place.

With increased funding it could be faster.

Not necessarily. We have increased funding for the V.A. and it continues to get slower.
