Any politician is going to do that. Had it been an illegal immigrant a Republican would already be using it to push for more wall. And I’m a Republican. Don’t be a hypocrite or naive.

That may be your best post ever. You should stick to that instead of some of the bullshite you like to post. That’s a compliment btw.

And I don't give two fricks, if you're too broke to afford a safe or lockable gun case don't own a gun.
I've never understood this idea. Don't people own guns to protect against home invasions? What good does a gun do me in a safe?
I'm similarly confused by safety rules that involve unloading guns, keeping the ammunition separate from the gun, and so on.

They reinforced my belief, but didn’t start it. I just believe upmost in personal responsibility.
I try to utilize logic over emotion.

Then Obama is responsible for Dallas and Baton Rouge by this logic.

So. It’s also a factor of where you live. I live in NOVA. It doesn’t get much safer than it is here. And by here I mean anywhere in the world. Different places. Different perspectives.

Don't get used to it.

Oh and i didn't check but you better have coughed up a frickin' upvote.

What mental disorders should be on the “no gun” list? . quote: who decides if the person is well enough?
I’m a licensed mental health professional with 42 years of experience which doesn’t make me an expert. I’m just a little more informed then the average citizen..
Remember the name Eric Harris, one of the Columbine shooters. He was a budding sociopath. That’s not even a diagnosable mental illness.
If you restrict gun ownership to anyone with a diagnosable mental illness consider the following stat. that has been consistent for decades. Individuals with a mental illness are 7 times more likely to be the victim of violence than the general population.
As for determining danger to self or others, that is always a “point in time” determination. A person can be suicidal or homicidal one day and not the next, much less three months down the road. The converse is true. A person can not pose a threat today but become a threat later. Do we want mental status exams every day?

It’s always odd to me people suggest that the best time to fight for fundamental rights is after you’ve lost them. It’s always better to hold onto your right than to reclaim them from oppressors.
And for all we hear about “white male oppression” in our society today.. the actual would-be oppressors in today’s society are those that would do things ban firearms or ban “hate speech” or force bakers to bake cakes against their will.

There are relatively inexpensive quick access gun safes available. Mine is attached to my nightstand and I can have access to my gun within seconds with a 6 digit pin (they also have biometric fingerprint scanners) if there is a home invasion. Any gun owner that has one for self defense should own one, especially if they have kids.

Did Obama call BR and Dallas victims animals? It’s too late to start pretending Trump isn’t bringing racist POS, like this shooter, out of the woodwork. Trumps rhetoric has consequences and this is one example.
“We have people coming into the country or trying to come in, we're stopping a lot of them, but we're taking people out of the country. You wouldn't believe how bad these people are," Trump said.

So? What works?
People get pissed off. Kill a spouse. Kill someone in a drug deal gone bad. Whatever. It happens. There’s no stopping it and a gun doesn’t matter. They’ll stab, strangle, bludgeon. Doesn’t matter.
But these mass shootings? Where do they come into the equation? America is the only country that seems to have this problem on a regular basis.

You're on point with all of that except this. "Remember the name Eric Harris, one of the Columbine shooters. He was a budding sociopath. That’s not even a diagnosable mental illness."
It is diagnosable and of course it would be an axis II diagnosis. The traits are quite specific. In children and teenagers anti-social traits are characterized as conduct disorder. In adults, it becomes anti-social personality disorder.
