    So agree. I bought one like a year ago, had to wait for like two hours for them to do a background check through the fbi. Took forever. They even take your finger prints and run it through the system

    We're talking about these mass shootings. The common theme in many of the highly publicized cases are that they are on meds or have autism spectrum disorders. These issues are ignored. Behind all of this is the need of big pharma to keep the masses on their drugs.

    The gun control/NRA connection is a political red herring masking the actual problem because its easy to be against the gun industry.

    Shortsighted comment. That's not the only reason why gun deaths happen. In a domestic violence situation a woman is 12x more likely to be killed if a firearm is present.

    We're talking about mass shootings, not domestic violence.

    So what? What you purchased was an instrument of death. The least you should have to do is go through a background check.

    No, the subject is gun deaths. I know the OP is specific but we have too many gun deaths. Those need to be prevented...

    Uhhhh ok. I absolutely agree. I'm just saying. It's a lot harder to get one through gun stores, shows etc. than most people think.

    Should you have to go through one when you buy a car?

    I'm not sure if this has already been said in this thread. But they started a gofundme page for the hero Chris mintz. It's already raised 200k in five hours

    If its simply preventing gun deaths, then its still a mental health issue as suicides by firearm are about double those by homicide.

    I'll answer your question with a question:

    Are cars designed to take human life?

    Private sales are not regulated. Didn't know you agreed with the background check issue.

    Its not short sighted, its the main cause of gun deaths and mass shootings.

    Short sighted behavior is asking for more gun control which really doesnt work. Yeah, we pull up statistics from how white and asian countries with gun control have lower homicide rates blah blah blah. Its just an easy talking point and an avoidance of the real issue.

    OK people...
    I disagree that it's the main cause of gun deaths.
