Gun store near me refused to sell to the Orlando shooter.
I don't conduct private sales without a 4473 filled out and NICS check done at an FFL holder. I'm not selling to a felon. And I'm not buying something that may have been stolen or used in criminal enterprise. Don't want to agree to it, I'm not buying from you. Don't want to agree to it, I won't sell to you.
Obviously demented lunatic? What would one look like?
well for starters, he probably has a pick-up truck
In 2013 the dept homeland security sought to by a certain amount of full auto M4 rifles aka AR-15 "assault rifles and they called them "personal defense rifles". So which is it? Either it is a assault rifle or a defense rifle. Or maybe it is just whatever it is in the hands of the shooter. Is that to say that in the hands of a civilian it is always used a assault rifle and in the hands of a agent it is always a defensive rifle? lol
See? This is what I'm talking about. You are comparing full auto rifles to semi-automatic rifles. They are night & day. The AR-15 that you can legally buy at a gun store and the kind used in mass shootings is a SEMI-AUTOMATIC RIFLE. PERIOD.
The venerable Second Amendment to the US Constitution ensures the citizens' right to keep and bear arms.
But how many arms? Two? Six? Twenty? 48? 600?
If Congress decided to strip Americans of all arms but two, how would 2nd Am advocates justify their "right" to bear an unlimited amount of arms?
Because in America, you're free to buy the things that you want, as opposed to the things that you need. Megamansion. 4 ferraris. 1200 guns. More power to you if you can afford it.

And from what was reported the Nut Case in Las Vegas used what is referred to as a "BUMP STOCK": The BUMP STOCK takes the recoil of the rifle and uses that recoil to cycle the next round with out the need to release the trigger and pull the trigger again. At least that is how I understand the "Bump Stock".
A true GRAY area of the law, not sure how it remained on the market.
Best way to describe what happened, is a disgusting lack of respect for life; buy a NUT CASE.
From what I heard on the news tonight, what is disturbing to me is how many weapons were purchased in a year, and that although the information could be found it's not allowed. Someone goes to various gun shops and makes an individual purchase and raises no red flags. A national registry of gun purchases, which I am amazed isn't available for gun shops etc, is just another way to assess risk.

What's your point? Background checks, signs, etc, are what gun shops have to potentially ID a problem. In this case, if it was known 33 guns (mostly rifle and shotguns) were purchased within a year, maybe a flag would have gone up, and who knows if something could have been prevented?
