What a nimrod. If you're the voice of gun owners, we're doomed.  |
So what would you suggest then? There are steps in place to deny legal gun purchases to nutbags. This guy stayed out of the nutbag category for reasons totally unrelated to any gun or gun law. Other than expanding the criteria for getting nutbags on that no-sell-gun-to list, what would you do? Ban hi-cap. mags so the tens of millions of them already out there quadrulple in price and a nutbag just has to carry three 10 rounders instead of one 30 rounder if he's too dumb, lazy or poor to get a hold of the old ones? Wonder why these types of events never happen at places like gun stores, shooting ranges or police stations.....where everyone is armed? Really, what's your suggestion? Let me guess - pass more laws to restrict the honest, trained, mentally competent and law-abiding people like myself. Please explain how restricting my gun rights and hobby some more will make this kind of thing at all less likely to happen again tomorrow.
