re: Gun control

NICS is the system the the FFL call when you fill out forms to purchase guns from a dealer. the system is supposed to find any kind of hang ups or negatives(convictions, mental screenings, military service stuff, even restraining orders). the only laws that i would recommend that would benefit without taking away from lawabiding citizens would be mandatory reporting of any recommended psych evals(as in the case of the az shooter)by all major organizations(military, commercial, medical), reporting of any failed psych evals by any organization or doctor(military, commercial....)

another part, which will piss some off, reports from teachers/professor/classmates should be evaluated by whoever would be qualified on campus. this is a reach, but if you overheard some of the conversations of the people i go to school with at southeastern, you would be a little nervouse as well. this is boderline invasion of privacy somewhat, but if there was a reporting system that came from school officials, then the az and va shootings may have been avoided.
