And you haven't? You are probably the biggest culprit in doing this, so I guess your irrational and obnoxious too! Prime example post #421

If they are looking into buying a lethal weapon I would go for yes! I don't know about you, but I have known people who have mental illness and aren't legally mentally ill, but I have seen them snap and they are the one's that I would also be very concerned with if they owned guns.

Come on! You forgot he also used video messages!

Nothing at the level of the OK bombing.

I agree with you, there are plenty of deadly weapons out there, but the thread we are currently responding to is about gun control and how to stop these crazy people who are allowed to buy guns and then go out and shoot innocent people. It has nothing to do or is it asking how to deal with any...

And how many were killed and injured? What happened with the other devices?

And how exactly are they doing this other than asking if you are mentally ill? Since there is no national database that tells someone that somebody has been declared legally mentally ill because of patient confidentiality laws this is a law that has no teeth. So for this to work they have to...

So you say leave things as they are and let crazy people have guns so they can continue these mass shootings. Nobody is talking about outlawing all guns. I don't know where you got that one. Regarding bombings: the U.S. has put more things in place over the last 20 years to keep bombings such...

Yes, but we are talking about a deadly weapon and if we want to keep them out of people who are mentally not there, some sacrifice is going to be needed. So you are okay with innocent people being killed by crazy people with guns since you want nothing put in place that will infringe on you...

How many mass murders have been done using a piece of paper? Heck, how many murders have been done using a piece of paper? Has there been 377 mass murder bombings in the U.S. this year like we have had shootings?

And how many pressure cooker bombs have been set off this year in the US? After McVeigh the federal govt. put in place checks that would keep a bombing like that from happening again and to my knowledge there hasn't been another one in the U.S.

You do know what they check don't you? All the rest they basically take your word for it.

How so

- As I said earlier I already have posted it. Hint, look at the first several pages.

- Perhaps go to a licensing requirement where you have to get checked out every so many years like you do to drive a car. - AR weapons since they seem to be the weapons of choice of these mass shooters. - Honest law abiding citizens would still be able to buy guns, just not AR's.

Yes, but the discussion of this thread is gun control. So far there has been no gun control measures put in place in decades and what is in place right now is clearly not working since we have had at least 377 mass shootings in the U.S. so far this year.

I've already done so earlier in the thread. We are after all talking about deadly weapons here, that has seen one mentally deranged shooter after another "legally" purchase their weapons and then use them to kill a lot of innocent people. So it's imperative that we come up with a vetting...

That's a new one, what is extreme vetting? I did a search and only came up with your three posts mentioning "extreme vetting." Please enlighten us as to what it is.

Yes, but Colt called it an Assault Rifle in one of their ads. And the name has stuck.

England didn't remove all the guns, just military type weapons and handguns. They have 6.5 guns per 100 people, the U.S. has 101 guns per 100 people. with a population of 56 million people England only has between 50-60 shootings per year. The U.S. on the other hand has 160 times that number...
