Too bad Obama was too lazy to actually get laws passed. Instead he just signed executive orders so he could get back to Martha’s Vineyard to rub elbows with rich white folks.

Once again, I must ask you why you post such a lie?

I assume you are smart enough to know you posted a lie.

Please correct me if my assumption is wrong.

People dont understand how easy is it to get one!! -- Its really very scary!!

The only answer to this is to do nothing and not make it harder or deter a slaughter like this? That's not a good idea.

Another anti gun flat earther. Just because you don't believe it, doesn't mean it's not true. People use AR-15's to defend themselves more often than they're used in crimes. 10 seconds of research will find many examples, but some people refuse to accept what doesn't fit their bias.

I bet you don't know what AR in AR-15 stands for, do you? Hint it's NOT 'assault rifle'.

Right, why don’t you ask the government how many straw purchasers were prosecuted?

A hint. Over the last decades, the total would be about a handful.

Your the one fine with a mentally ill person in possession of a deadly weapon.

Next question please.

You said having a mentally ill person with a deadly weapon capable of mass casualty will make the public safer.

I am not fine with that. Nobody is fine with that. That’s not that question.

The question is what your motive is for posting such a lie. I want to know.

I again assume you are smart enough to know it’s a lie.

What is a “crazy” person? How do you define that? Is it a person who seeks treatment from a mental health professional? Take a psychotropic medication? I admit to being more to the left on the political spectrum, but if you start taking people’s rights away by virtue of the fact that they’ve sought mental health treatment, that’s just going to encourage them NOT to get treatment in the first place. At least if people seek out treatment and attempt to get counseling/therapy and medications, that might help to prevent problems from happening. If people avoid treatment, which often happens in many professional fields where people are worried that a history of mental health issues might be a problem, then that is only going encourage people to self-medicate with alcohol, drugs, and ultimately cause bigger issues.

I think there are some limitations in places if people have been committed due to danger to self or others since that demonstrates that a person has a propensity toward violence, be it to themselves or other people. However, there are plenty of people who seek mental health treatment who are not violent.

the ACLU argues that not every mentally ill person is violent....is a false stereotype.
