    Awesome!

    Certainly. Absolutely.
    Sanity test would require a constitutional amendment. Not nearly enough people are impacted to motivate 3/4 of states to agree on such action.

    Violent criminals should be prevented from owning weapons. The 14th amendment allows for this kind of government restriction right now.

    We should mark the ID of every restricted person (every state has this capability already). Supplying these people with weapons should be a felony with a fine and jail time. As well as a firearm restriction.

    To ensure constitutionality, there should be a court to which people can appeal their restrictions. This court could also handle no fly list appeals.

    The right would accept this. They are perfectly fine with restricting criminals and they want a court to appeal red flag rulings to.

    He's referring to the time when Sly posted a picture of someones head about to get blown off at the Baltimore (I think it was Baltimore) shopping center shooting.

    There is no free healthcare. Only limits access healthcare access.

    Much of our violent crime and murder rates are certainly caused by lack of access to healthcare, including mental health care.

    I’m so sick of this argument - like only in America do we have mental illness. It’s in the water.

    Kind of appropriate to have a mass shooting at a 4th of July celebration. What better way to demonstrate American exceptionalism?

    I'm sure they already traced the gun back with it's serial number. Hopefully that helps them find this guy.

    Good timing!


    But in their defense, any day they post would be a significant risk for a mass shooting.

    I've posted the evidence many times. You want to frame it as a different argument to support your argument for a solution that can't happen.

    It's unfortunate...

    Musket has nothing to do with anything though. Most guns sold for the last hundred years are capable of firing that fast.

    Take the shooters. Line them up. Go person by person, family by family. I’d like to know how many have NO access to mental healthcare. Like they are homeless and have no doctors no insurance nothing.

    Our original holy right to guns has everything to do with it don’t fool yourself. We started this whole bullshit love affair with guns when they weren’t like this. PERIOD. And the love affair continues with no adjustment to the times.

    It doesn't matter of they have NO access. They have limited access and our institutions (schools, etc) don't have that to use as a tool.

    We're doing healthcare wrong. Including mental healthcare.
