Yes, you do. Your arguments are fallacious and barely concealed attempts at promoting total firearm confiscation. You can't even admit that the GFZSA is a complete failure; you'd rather twist around the topic and push for even further gun control laws.
Angry? Far from it. I've actually enjoyed your attempts to seem like a reasonable person who merely wants "common sense" regulation of firearms. Of curse, when it is pointed out to you that "common sense" gun laws have little to do with common sense and have actually done more harm than good in this country you continue to toe the "do it for the sake of the children" line like a good little gun grabber.
unless one has been adjudicated as being mentally defective, there is NO reason to deny them the right to keep and bear arms. we have to follow proper due process. and forcing people to be screened for a mental illness they might have, without proof by the way, is an infringement on ones rights. sorry but you lose on this.
What is your definition for "adjudicated as being mentally defective?"

I am just sick and tired of the rhetoric of the NRA. Take the initiative and help with solutions! Armed guards and "good guys with guns" are false security and perhaps even dangerous.
I have no issue with mentally sound people having a gun, it is the mentally disturbed owning assault firearms I have a problem with. Why is the right so determined to not screen gun owners for mental illness? Are, in fact, the very people we don't want to have guns, the people who are fighting against mental health screenings?
As far as an armed guard at schools; they provide a false sense of security unless we have one in every classroom, bathroom, cafeteria, school bus, gym, locker room, etc.... Obviously the shooter will pick whatever area the armed guard is not at the time and open fire with a semi-automatic.
You're right. What are banks thinking? Just think that they are targeted first during a bank robbery. Want to guess why more banks without armed security guards get robbed more?
The very thing that you think protects you, puts your house at risk for burglary.
So does wearing jewelry and having a nice car.
That doesn't change the fact that my wife and daughter have a 99.9% chance of stopping violent rape and sexual assault. Doesn't change the fact that every time another shooting happens the shooting stops when return fire comes their way [usually suicide. Few exceptions]. Doesn't change the fact that you are grabbing at straws to make another anti gun argument.
Ohh and Harvard just released a study, it also shows no correlation between more guns =more shooting. It plainly says the opposite is more the truth more guns = less crime.
Every time there is a shooting in the US (except Chicago), there is aa call for "new" gun laws.
Can anyone tell me what new gun law would have prevented the Oregon shooting, or any other shooting?
explain to me what laws do you think criminals will actually follow?
any gun law is useless against the criminal as they do not follow the law. gun control laws are only there to control the already law abiding citizen.
