I posted as close as we may come: polling analytics from Pew.
Think about how many firearms were bought before 68. That would be a lot of firearms. Not a trace.

Lots of folks hunt deer and caribou with the AR-15 rifle. The 5.56 is a good caliber for that.

The list is endless. All it takes is a good barrel maker.

How do you get this? Tulsa, San Antonio, Las Vegas, seem to me places where people would be armed (if that’s what you mean). Or do you mean places like schools and hospitals?

We've already got 1 criteria - felons. Now, some felons shouldn't have guns and the possession of one by them should be swiftly and severely prosecuted. And some felons should be able to have guns, depending largely on the existence of violence (or guns) to arrive at the felony charge.
I actually think felon is way too broad a word. If you get convicted of insider trading or tax evasion, you’re a felon. I don’t see any reason why Martha Stewart shouldn’t be able to have a gun.

Having suicidal thoughts doesn't mean you will be a mass shooter.

Now before you go off the deep end with that one.... I'm not saying the gun itself caused the mass shooting... just no more than SSRI.

There are many things mass shooters have in common. It doesn't mean you can cherry pick your pet peeve to blame it on without evidence of a direct cause. Plenty of people on medications that don't go on a mass shooting... just like plenty of gun owners also don't go on a mass shooting.

So mentally unstable individuals who are medication because they are mentallly unstable may be more inclined to become mass shooters.

Is it their mentally unstable condition or the drugs?

Some want to blame the drugs.

And then blame pharmaceutical companies, and then blame liberals because -- all liberals are bad.
