Why Red Flag Laws Won't Work.

I'm not sure there's an answer to that.  Issuing someone a driving license doesn't mean they won't try to kill someone with their car.  I'm not sure it's at all sensible to restrict gun purchases based on what you think someone may possibly do at some point in the future.

It still amounts to an ease of access issue.

I mentioned it shortly after the El Paso shooting that a police official was asked by a reporter at a press conference what the public could do to spot a threat. He RIGHTFULLY SAID, "I am not a psychologist, that is not my field of expertise"...... I agree, so what the fuck makes the gun shop owner who sold him the weapon a psychologist when confronted said, "He looked fine to me, he looked happy."

It still amounts to it is fucking stupid and dangerous for firearm companies, and shop owners to say "OK" just to make a buck.

Again, firearm CEOs and shop owners would have far more credibility if they gave a fuck and cared where their products ended up.

Ok, so how is a gun shop owner supposed to KNOW how the guns he sells are going to be used?  If a person passes a background check and doesn't appear to be agitated when purchasing a weapon, on what grounds should the shop owner refuse the sale?
