Re: Open or Conceal Carry?
I was reffering to your reply in post 58 btw, and you said it without the words "Vets with" and then continued with "mental illnesses....."

Re: Open or Conceal Carry?
Now you're back to saying you support vets with mental illnesses having guns again?

Re: Open or Conceal Carry?
So civilians with mental illnesses shouldn't carry guns but vets with mental illnesses should?

But the Virgina Tech mass murderer went and legally bought a gun too. Proof that the restrictions and regulations and tests are not good enough. |

Re: Open or Conceal Carry?
People can always find instances to the contrary to refute an entire general principle. What failed there was that his medical providers did not report his illnesses as required IIRC. If they had, it would not have been issued. And when others fail to perform their legal obligations, a guy like that can purchase a gun anywhere lawfully sold, never mind a gun show.

How would 300 million Americans be punished if gun laws were sufficient to keep mental patients from buying guns legally? I think 300 million Americans would be rewarded, not punished. |

The point is, the gun laws today are not sufficient in keeping gun dealers from selling to mentally ill people. Gun rights advocates and the NRA are against better gun laws, training, testing and deeper background checking. And this is why we have such a problem with gun violence. |

With respect to the nutjob mass shooters, out media goes into an orgy when one of these pathetic losers does something like this and posts his picture on TV 24/7, interviews his friends, neighbors and dog, and generally makes him famous for a few days. Which is what these idiots want. Matt
