Yes all cancer is a type of cancer, that’s why we categorize things.

My point was that they were both in effectively going towards the same goal poorly and not proposing a better solution, hence the broken record syndrome.
Brian legal guns can not be bought like candy. Full stop. That has been shown.
Those guns that can are illegal. Olb putting more guns in the market necessarily leads to more of a chance that legal guns become illegal guns and an increase in non criminal gun deaths. Full stop . That’s been shown as well.
Can we now talk about a better solution than this piecemeal posturing? Probably not here because what’s going on in this thread isnt new news or noteworthy.
Bullshit. I suffer depression and anxiety. I have a gun shop less than a mile away from me. I have no criminal record, I have no violent felony. Now sure, when I go to the grocery store and buy a Snickers candy bar, they scan the bar code, I pay and walk out. Maybe this store makes me wait 10 minutes, a half hour, or a day. Our laws SUCK compared to the rest of the world.
You are being pedantic. I walk into a gun shop they do a computer check, sure that takes longer, but it is really not sufficient. Gun shops don't do psychological evaluations, they don't mandate physical training. I could literally go to the gun shop down the road right now and buy a firearm based on my state's current laws. I don't know what the individual store policy is on how much time I have to wait, but I damned sure know that I could legally buy one if I wanted.
Gun shops aren’t supposed to do psychological evaluations or mandate physical training. They’re gun shops.
