You going to put a longer waiting period on the threats we face, too?

What about buying knives? Or cars? Or fertilizer? Or crowbars?

In a free society, we should enjoy the presumption of competence to engage in a number of activities, absent evidence to the contrary. That should be even more clear when it comes to a constitutionally protected right.

Lanza didn't go through any of the crap you're suggesting the rest of us endure - he killed his mother for her guns (a crime) and then brought them to a school (another crime) before ever shooting anyone.

He just bypassed the whole, go to the gun store, pick out a gun, fill out a bunch of paperwork, get approved by the FBI, etc.

freedom comes with risk and responsibility...always has


the other side comes with risk as well...which do liberals choose? the one with less individual freedom...of course.

like drugs...and those should be legal as well, and would infinitely reduce the "gun crimes" stats that liberals often concern themselves with
