Police identified the suspect as Michael Brandon Hill, 20, and said he will face charges including aggravated assault on a police officer, terroristic threats and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Better solution, more laws on the books that the Government will selectively enforce.
I mean maybe if we put him on super double secret probation, he'd follow the law of the land?
Why he was just another Patriot seeking a 2nd Amendment solution. Thank GOD we have the NRA to protect the rights of the looney. Perhaps Ted Nugent will do a benefit concert
Aaah, how about we regulate guns in an effective manner.
The civilized world does it.
ok, tell us what regulations you have in mind that will;
1: prevent criminals and the mentally ill from getting firearms
2: will still protect the second amendment rights of law abiding citizens
if you can do that, more power to you.

ever hear of form 4473? ANYONE who purchases a firearm from a licensed dealer has to fill out that form, even at gun shows. and the federal government has, or has access to, a database of ALL firearms serial numbers so they can start with the original purchaser of the firearm in question, and track its movements over the years.

LOL, when you can provide anything besides "buzzfeed" as a true and honest source, then maybe we can talk...until then...
But hey, you know, most gun owners have their guns listed on their home insurance by serial number, I guess now the insurnace comapnies can all get together with the NRA and have a HUGE secret database that everyone knows about....
Errr, the NRA not only has a "registry" of who bought guns, but who took classes on how to use them, and even who went to look at guns.... ah, feel better and less intruded on now?

Of course you have nothing to back up what you say......and please don't provide another buzzfeed link.
Also, please inform us of how the NRA knows I went to look at guns this weekend? LOL...

By making drugs illegal, we created Drug Lords. We can always help Mexico out by creating Gun Lords and just ban guns. The history of the drug war can then become the future history of the gun war. The failure of such an endeavor will be inevitable. Banning drugs/guns/knives/electronics/alcohol/whatever is an opportunity for the criminals to get rich. Keep it legal and decide on the best (and legal) way to control the problem. Guns + people (like drugs) will always be a train wreck, but a controlled crash is always better than an uncontrolled one.
Why did you summarize the article by describing the guy as a gun nut?
Wouldn't it be more accurate and compelling to reference this as a failure of justice as he was charged two weeks prior with "terroristic threats and acts"? The failed justice sytem is the story that should compete for the headline.
The largest percent of crime is committed downstream od drugs and gangs and other career criminals.
This article offers clues that the guy was mentally unstable.
"Gun nut", as used in the OP, is taken as an assault on gun fanciers to diminish the reputation of all gunowners and prejudicially suggest anyone who uses or collects firearms is standing in line behind behind Michael Hill awaiting their turn to shoot up a school.
Loaded with this caliber of prejudice holstered on your hip, your bias can be turned on any one group of people at anytime and is far more dangeropus than a firearm.
The shooter looks like some crazed white guy. Why is it harder to get a driver's license than a gun in the U.S. It makes no sense. Thank goodness noone was killed.
