I believe they're talking about common sense changes like better background checks so these mentally ill people can't get guns. Can't this even be discussed without people flipping out?

Just like making drugs illegal keeps them out of addicts hands.


Brilliant!


How about addressing the mental illness issue. And the culture of quota and affirmative action and PC nonsense that allowed such an aggrieved and dangerous person to progress anyway.

Homosexuality is not a mental illness.

Being born African American is not a mental illness.

Their daughter would still be dead.

Yet I would be denied a gun because I have ADHD, which makes me autistic.

Would a background check have prevented this gay racist from having a gun? Just curious.

That wouldn't have saved their daughter. This guy was crazy and people were hesitate for referring him as being that way because of fear they may be labeled a racist or a homophobe. Couldn't this guy's family sense anger growing in him? Why didn't they do something?

As far as I know, he was never treated for mental illness. What kinda common sense background check are you proposing?

Libs want anyone treated for depression/anxiety banned from getting guns.

You can have a discussion about amending the Constitution. The Constitution doesn't limit gun ownership to people the govt thinks are mentally stable.

Not in this country.

A direct result of a two party system. It is an all or nothing system. There is no more middle ground and no more common sense allowed in this country.
