THE Gun Thread

[Angrboda]

If I'm not mistaken, there's not a very strong correlation between either mental illness or one or two felonies and future gun violence. More violent felonies correlate less well. Lesser felonies don't tend to predict violent crime well. Mental illness doesn't correlate at all as you're more likely to see gun violence from someone who isn't mentally ill, so he's got that backwards. So all this biker bullshit about preserving gun ownership for the responsible is just a bunch of ass tooting.
