A lot of gun grabbing Liberals lack critical thinking and or just plain ignorant when it comes to guns. Its funny hearing their MSM talking points.

Yes they are. ATF knows who the original gun owner is.

Is that enough? Shouldn't a parent be able to see check a data base to see if it is likely their child will be in a home or car with a loaded gun?
The Supreme Court already ruled it unconstitutional and the first means of arms confiscation.
They have a gun registry though, anyway. Every new gun sold is put on a list. How do you think they find the owner of these weapons so fast, when they are left on on scene of a killing.

We should have a mental health registry. Anyone with certain flagged illnesses (bi polar, schizophrenia, etc) at the age of 18 has to sign up. Also, if taking psychotropic medications for these illnesses, needs to be drug tested monthly. If they fail a test they get admitted to a mental ward until they become medicated again.

Nothing wrong with asking about secured weapons in person when you drop off your kids.
I don’t own a gun now but that would quickly change if gun ownership records were public.

How about we add those "emotional support animal" folks that are so unstable to that list. If you claim PTSD so you can have a purse dog you shouldn't have a firearm. Not that most of those types would anyway.

You didn't answer my question. I asked for links and legitimate sources for your wild assertions. Once you've answered my query I would be more than happy to answer yours I'm genuinely curious as to where you're getting your information from.

You quote the Brady Campaign and expect to be taken seriously? Nothing you post from them has any credibility at all. They count people up to age 24 as "children" to skew their numbers. Where do you think the vast majority of those deaths occur? In places that support Brady.

Real facts:
33,000 per year killed by someone with a firearm
21,780 of those are suicides
9,500 of them are felons killing other felons
1,000 are justifiable homicides by police or civilians

Leaving 683. 0.0002% of the population. You people aren't interested in saving lives you want to push your politics, period.

I often wonder when people post things such this, if they ever actually consider what it is they are suggesting, or are they too far gone to even realize it?
