My point is even though he shouldn't have been able to, he still got it easily, and not buying FROM other criminals.
Just goes to show how we cannot rely on government bureaucrats to protect us.
And what precisely would you suggest, Neo?

That's ridiculous, ofc we can. There are a great many things that bureaucrats do, where they are and can be relied upon to protect us from a variety of threats.
We can't expect that they will never fail, never make a mistake - but we can hold them accountable when they do and work to eliminate things that increase the opportunity for such mistakes. How is it, for example, that the two systems involved in this one aren't connected? That the difference between a person who shouldn;t be able to buy a gun getting one or not..is an actual human being physically reporting it somewhere between the two systems?
That sounds like a recipe for disaster, don't you think?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

And now the funditards are crowing that the shooter was an "evil atheist" and that the church is under persecution - claiming martyrdom and assuring everyone that this is just the beginning.

Getting murdered is at least a little bit of oppression.

This is horrible logic on the worshiper's part for sure.
On the one hand they say, "Just keep them out of the wrong hands".
But if everyone is packing surely they will end up in the wrong hands.

Yea no kidding, I do get tired of that argument. 6 million Jews getting gassed, 50 million dead worldwide because of WW2, all that death, for what? Not just just this Church shooting too, Vegas and Pulse and Sandy Hook, ect ect ect ect.....
The logic does not work.
Would anyone buy this same argument if they hired a baby sitter, and a child molester raped and murdered their kid while the baby sitter was watching and they did nothing?

Yeah, it's almost as if there is no fucking god, eh Brian?
The man was a prophet.
And unlike these bible shitheads, his prophecies come true.
