how do we prevent nut jobs like Hodgkinson from owning a gun in the first place?

Do we know if he obtained them legally? Was it legal for him to have them in that area?

There are common threads between mass shootings and, more importantly, the 93 (million!??!) per day that are killed.

Mass shootings: craizies, most identified by friends and family before hand. What should be done/legislated about them? Any other common threads about them?

93 per day: Oh so much in common! The biggie IMO is drugs. Since the bad guys already have guns and don't give a ratzass about your laws you will have to find other ways to fix this. More gun laws for them to break is not the answer. Why are you bringing up big bad "military-style weapons" anyway? Check out the 93 per day. Mostly handguns ILLEGALLY OBTAINED.

That's what pisses us off the most. WE are regulated while guns and drugs are not, .. at least not where they are. And the cops hands are being tied more every day.

I get it that you, TigerJeff do not understand us. What is your hobby? Put it out here for us to insult and fail to understand. I have a 100 yd. range located 20 yards from my back door. I shoot one or more of my guns there almost everyday that the weather allows. It's my hobby.
