Better to be prepared and nothing happens than to not be prepared...
Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???" 
If only some could come up with a better way to research gun purchasers, like, oh, I dunno...requiring background checks for the purchase of ANY firearm. And maybe extending the wait period to something like 30 days or so.
Just a thought. Boru

I also think it would be far cheaper for the makers and shops to vet at the front end, instead of relying on society to train reactionary actions that cost more than front end vetting. A shop owner saying no to a potential buyer is far cheaper than having tons of people scramble out of fear. A fireman is going to tell you to keep your smoke and carbon detectors current and operational. The mentality of the worshipers is, "NO, WE HAVE THE RIGHT NOT TO VACCINATE", then bitch about the cost of the aftermath for not doing such prior to it becoming a problem.

And maybe extending the wait period to something like 30 days or so. You are not going to get 30 days, but I could live with a week, and a limit on ammo and firearm purchase. A stable honest person isn't, or should not object to waiting. I think the ability and willingness to wait makes the buyer and the shop look far more responsible than the laws we currently have that are basically handing them out like candy. And most certainly I am for "red flag laws". I wish my mom or anyone could have prevented my drunk father from shooting his 38 with me in the room. I feel lucky knowing him. I know he would not have meant it. But he was also an authoritarian who didn't like my sensitivity. Knowing how he was with me trying to make me "tough", if my mother had not been there to yank me out of the room, I could easily see him shooting me directly and killing me because he was too drunk to understand he was the adult and I was the child and that is not how you "toughen" up a kid and prepare them for life. I wish my Mom had called the cops on him, got him mental health aid, and prevented him from owning another firearm.

The US Canadian border is a delight for professors at war colleges. Long waterways, major bodies of water, wide-open prairies, tall mountain ranges, and open ocean on both ends with 5525 miles in between. No jungle or desert, but you can't have everything.
