This 18 year old had a background check. Sadly, he passed. |
HB got into the service. Consider that for a moment |
Wtf? I know women in abusive relationships with men who … newsflash … own too many guns. Maybe just maybe if they lived in a state with tighter gun regulations and red flag laws they wouldn’t be afraid for their lives. Luckily, they left without getting shot. |
Yeah I don’t think he should have been allowed to buy that gun, period. |
What's on my mind is that I was mischaracterized. The PP was wrong about me. It's easy to control guns on islands. Remember, though, the attack of the youth camp in Norway. 85 killed. Norway had some of the toughest gun laws around: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/jul/24/norway-strict-gun-laws-circumvented |
And? We have had TWENTY SEVEN school shootings THIS YEAR. |
What does the background check entail? NP here. I want a background check like the kind conducted for high security clearances in the government, not just “are they a felon”. I’m not a fed so not super familiar with them but I know they’re involved. Mandatory reference checks. It should take a few weeks. |
List all the other mass shootings in Norway over the last 30 years. |
Owning a gun should be more of a process than getting a driver’s license. They are both deadly weapons in some way shape or form. |

Is there a cooling off period in TX?
Probably not, it’s TX |
So let's say a woman decides to leave her abusive husband and wants a firearm in her home. Because of his abuse, she has been kept away from others. Where does she get her reference checks? His friends and family? A few weeks can get an abused woman killed - the most dangerous time for abused women is just after they leave. |
Why wouldn't he have passed? 18-year-olds have clear records that are sealed from juvenile offenses which starts the day they turn 18. He waited and he pounced. Stupidity. |
She doesn’t need a gun to protect herself if her loser husband doesn’t have one. And he shouldn’t because he probably has three DUI’s and a few misdemeanor charges already. |

According to Ted Cruz, everyone knows you stop bad guys with guns with good guys with guns. That’s it. That’s his “solution.” |
