Oh hun, I'm not the one who thinks common sense gun laws equals "living in a police state." And who probably thinks she needs to have an arsenal at home to feel safe. Therapy and medication would be VERY helpful for your oversized anxiety and fears. |
There were definitely a variety of multi shot guns at the time that functioned identically to current semiautomatic firearms FFS, spend 10 seconds doing an internet search.

Federal Law. Under 18 U.S.C. § 922(d), it is unlawful for any person to sell or otherwise dispose of any firearm or ammunition to any person knowing or having reasonable cause to believe that such person “has been adjudicated as a mental defective or has been committed to any mental institution. And look, it's pretty clear that you want to live in a police state so you should just be honest about it. Although, you probably also want to defend the police, so what you're really lobbying for is something that looks like Escape From New York. |

I have been wondering about Peter Lanza (father) and what his life has been like since then. I can't imagine... |
We have common sense gun laws. Weak on crime prosecutors just don't enforce them because reasons. |
Sounds like the Reagan-era decimation of mental health care in the US needs to be reversed. |
No, Sandy Hook has shown the REPUBLICANS care more about Special Interest than kids. They are the ones blocking any reform. They are the one’s whose holiday cards are with their families holding assault rifles, they are the ones who berate teens for wanting gun control. Please stop with the Both Sides. This lays at the feet of Republicans and Republicans only. Vote accordingly. |
From 2014, so the opposite of up to date, but he seems like he’s a decently thoughtful person. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/03/17/the-reckoning |
They are really less safe since the gun nuts doubled down when they felt threatened. |
