re: What gun restrictions would you tolerate?

No commonly pitched restrictions would have stopped this shooter or any others.

The age restriction worked in this case, unless you believe he waited until his 18th birthday to buy the guns for some other reason. Did it stop it? No. Would he have shot up a school had he had to wait until he was 21? I think that's certainly a valid question as he would've grown mentally over those three years.

There is no fail safe solution, especially when there are hundreds of millions of firearms in private hands in this country. We can't let perfect be the enemy of good.

And if you're a legal, responsible gun owner, what the frick do you care about raising an age limit? Or requiring a license to carry? Red Flag laws? None of that impacts you if you're, again, a RESPONSIBLE gun owner.

A lot of y'all probably take your kids out to shoot. Do you just send them out in the backyard, alone, to go figure it out or do you work with them to teach them the basics of handling a gun? Why wouldn't we apply that same logic to all new gun owners?
