If only there had been universal background checks on pipes.

Right here is exactly why you can pass any law that you like. Honest people obey laws. We care what it will do to our lives if we are arrested.

Criminals and head cases don't care. They will find a way to do their misdeeds. Punishing law abiding citizens is never the right answer.

What makes a 24 year old to be homeless and then go on a killing spree like that?

Leftist social policies. Lack of compassion and interest in caring for the mentally ill for one. Many mentally ill people end up on the streets because we don't have the proper facilities to treat, and if necessary, house mentally ill people who are a danger to themselves and society.

The GOP want big public investments in mental health facilities?

Biden should lead a commission on pipe control now.

Bathtubs, too. Thousands die each year slipping in them.
