Just a thought.

How about registering criminals and whackjobs and leaving the law abiding citizen alone?
Nooooo can' t do that.... It' d make all these gun laws unnecessary......

I think you're confused. I haven't mentioned firearms registration (not in this thread, at least ).
But maybe if shotgun purchases in the US weren't conducted on a cash-and-carry basis, Ms. Pais would still be alive. Not a certainty, I'll grant you. But if she hadn't been able to walk into a gun shop and walk out with a weapon, there's a chance the police could have gotten to this poor, confused young woman and gotten her some help before she took her own life.

Bullshit. Post #3 of this thread.
And fuck her. Good thing she whacked herself before goinng off on a tear killing others.
You want legitimate firearm owners to go through a bunch of nonsense - doing paperwork galore and waiting periods - while protecting the rights of criminals and crazies.

This has/had "suicide by cop" written all over it. Guess she couldn't wait.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

You're happy that a clearly disturbed teen took her own life? Says something about you, I think. And 'going off on a tear killing others' wouldn't even have been a possibility of she didn't have such easy access to a gun.
Yes, I want legitimate firearm owners to 'go through a bunch of nonsense'. It works everywhere else it's been tried. As for waiting periods, what's wrong with them? Have you ever been in a situation where you had to purchase a gun right this minute? If so, why?
Of course I want to protect the rights of criminals and the mentally ill ( I should think you would as well). But I think that can be accomplished without infringing on YOUR rights.

I knew a Flag-type. Happily he let his gung-ho go-go-go and we never saw him again.
