Another Gun Thread

[Brian37]

You can be deadly with a pencil. Doesn't mean it's the best choice, or even a good choice.

No Godzilla, every fucking week, we hear about someone use a high capacity NO 2 pencil go into a church or mosque and murder multiple people with that pencil. We have a pencil violence epidemic.

Mental health care laws are NOT there to punish anyone. Again I am tired of this bullshit.

You wouldn't want a police officer who was a domestic abuser to have a gun, or even that job. You wouldn't want that same police officer to suffer PTSD only to go on to hurt himself or his own family members. When we send our military off to war, even the ones who make it through, can and do come back, only to commit suicide or murder their spouse because of the PTSD.

Now again where the fuck were my rights being only  6 years old, when my dad, WHO LEGALLY BOUGHT his firearms, got drunk and fired his 38 with me in the room?

Sorry there are people that should not have firearms. Anyone who makes threats to a business, or school or to co workers or family, should be at a minimum checked out and warned, but if it is repeated behavior, that is a clear sign that that person is not mentally fit to have a firearm.

Prevention is not oppression, so fucking knock it off.  Civilians are not trained at the same level as our law enforcement or our military. It makes no sense to give laypeople a blank check and not insure that whomever we sell them to is stable.

Everyone has some sort of mental health problem nearly.  Using mental health is a way to disarm the public.

One thing I think civilians need more of is training.  That I agree with.  Training is very important for gun owners.

I suffer from depression and anxiety. I feel damned lucky you didn't raise me. I'd be dead.
