I'm not paranoid at all. Annoyed that people are stupid enough to believe banning weapons would make any type of difference, yes.
Simple OTC sales of sudafed were stopped, how's the war on meth going?
To the OP, libs have the market cornered in propaganda. They could show North Korea a thing or two.

Besides that, it was illegal for Lanza to murder his mother, illegal to take her guns to school, illegal to murder the teachers and children. There is no background check that would psychoanalyze your children, especially when you can buy your guns before you even have children.

Hint, it's not the federal government that is going to restrict civil rights.

...or just make it easier to take them.

Mental Health FAQ - NYSAFE Act | Governor Andrew M. Cuomo

The NY SAFE Act is designed to remove firearms from those who seek to do harm to themselves or others. This means keeping the minority of individuals with serious mental illness who may be dangerous away from access to firearms. This law should not dissuade any individual from seeking mental health services they need.

I guess that if you are under any form of mental health services, they will come take your guns. But it's just a paranoia to you, eh?

If you don't think Gun confiscation, Civil War, or at the very least an intrusive government could happen, how do you explain all the facts outlined in the OP? You don't believe Government officials are preparing for..... something? I suppose you think these are just all random coincidences?
If the anti-gun crowd has lost, I'd hate to see your reaction if they won

Granted, I will want to read the bill before I throw my support behind it, but even before all this stuff happened, I was saying that BG checks should include ALL sales at gun shows, even by private sellers. No doubt that it won't stop every criminal or mental defect, but I think it would help.....

I would like to see some statistics on how many criminals and mental defects obtain their guns from gun shows though. That number is important to know before we go enacting laws. Also, I would like to see a viable plan of enforcement.

But most guns used in mass murders were obtained legally.
