In any case, yeah, your dad probably should have had his guns confiscated. The laws that would have allowed that weren't likely to be in place at the time, or those laws that would have were not specific enough...or it's just a thing that happens and even if there are laws against it, so long as no one got hurt, no one was going to do much about it.
Which one of those problems is a Big Gun problem?
(We've already been over the access problem thing, I don't have much to add and I doubt we can have a productive convo until we can agree to work from a common basis of actual facts, lol)
Yea, but even with me, even with my depression and anxiety, just like drunks, our laws DO NOT prevent my dad, or me, when there is no record, from legally purchasing a firearm when we have no record.
This fucking bullshit of "rights" is just that. It isn't illegal to fly a passenger jet. But you damned sure don't want to hire an alcoholic, domestic abuser, religious terrorist, ect ect ect flying that jet.
Our problem is OBVIOUS. The industry does not give a fuck about where their products end up. If logic worked the way the industry sold it, then my dad could have become a American Airline's pilot just by walking into human resources and saying "I want to fly a passenger jet" and American Airlines responding, "Ok, we won't test you, we'll simply give you the licence because you asked for it."
