So you NRA supporters are in favor of allowing mentally ill people to buy guns, have I got that right?
Quote:
In February 2017, Trump repealed an Obama-era regulation that would have made it easier to block the sale of firearms to people with certain mental illnesses.
The Obama rule would have prevented an estimated 75,000 people with mental disorders from being able to purchase a firearm. It was crafted as part of Obama’s efforts to strengthen the federal background check system in the wake of the 2012 massacre of 20 young students and six staff at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
Why would you expect more from folks that are in support of a thieving treacherous moron in The White House to care about the mentally unfit being able to obtain thigs that should not have access to?

We've already dispelled this one. It did not allow mentally ill/adjudicated mentally defect to purchase firearms. But do go on and believe Trump rolled back restrictions on mentally ill and adjudicated mentally defect
The POINT is that not even one person (okay: one) bothered to engage their brains for five seconds after reading the tweet. (The lady said that the gun had been bought in Florida; almost every news story clearly stated the shooter had arrived in Florida from Maryland the day before the convention, yet no follower of hers said to themselves, "Wait a minute......I think she made a mistake......it looks like the gun must have been bought in Maryland".)
Change the subject matter away from guns, it doesn't matter one whit: people just don't care to do even the most BASIC thinking these days. THAT is the point.
It's like you crossed a parrot with a sheep..........that would give you the typical American these days. Sheer, brain-dead morons. And they don't even CARE that they are morons....
Yes, the current political tribalism and hyper-partisanship in our politics is NOT conducive to Socratic and sober debates about public policy. The C-D politics "swamp" ain't exactly the place for nuance and debate....try the great debates forum for better results.
The truth died, or at least took a major body blow, on January 19, 2017...the day a crackpot conspiracy theorist took the oath of office of the Presidency to the U.S.A.
Yes, the Jacksonville shooter purchased his guns legally in Baltimore, Maryland. Perhaps that means even in the strictest regulated places in the U.S.....it is too damn easy to get a gun. At a minimum, we shouldn't expect gun control laws to stop every shooting. Just as every seatbelt won't prevent all deaths in auto accidents. That does NOT mean we give up on car safety, etc.
Let's apply that to illegal immigration.
At a minimum, we shouldn't expect immigration laws to prevent every murder caused by an illegal, just as every seat belt won't prevent all deaths in auto accidents. That does NOT mean we shouldn't build the wall and strictly enforce our immigration laws.

The rule was rescinded using a legal procedure called the the Congressional Review Act, which, prior to the Trump Administration, was obscure and little-used. It allows regulations passed in the final days of one administration to be rescinded with a simple majority vote in both chambers of Congress during the first 60 days of a new administration. The Senate sent their repeal of the Obama-era measure for Trump’s signature on 15 February 2017 — almost a year before the Parkland shooting to the day — and Trump signed it into law the next week, on 28 February 2017
But you can continue putting your head in the sand or just spouting Trumpisms.
Guns are NOT a bulwark against tyranny. The rule of law is.
I don't know who you voted for in 2016. But this overall argument has lost ALL credibility since the bulk of the pro-gun crowd are actually supporting someone who admires tyrants/dictators and has tried erode the power of the legislative and judicial branches.

You're wrong do I need to go in full detail and embarrass you?
