[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  And obviously, most Republicans in Congress are just trying to water them all down as much as possible, or block them entirely, to ensure complete and total access to guns anywhere and anytime.

This is untrue and stupid. Republicans (and gun owners, not the same btw) do NOT want to ensure complete and total access to guns anywhere and anytime. Those who should not have access to guns include those who answer YES to the questions asked on the BATF firearms purchase form, i.e.,
- felon or under indictment for serious crimes
- fugitive from justice
- drug user
- mentally defective or committed to a mental institution
- dishonorably discharged from armed forces
- those who renounced US citizenship
- illegal aliens

Fair enough.  It's an overstatement to say "complete and total, anywhere and anytime."  I'll correct to say complete access to anyone who doesn't volunteer on his BATF form that he's in one of the seven restricted categories you list.  Happy?

Apparently those seven categories weren't enough to stop people like Dylann Roof, the Charleston church shooter, who was a drug user but simply chose not to check the box.  Apparently they were not enough to stop people like the Orlando shooter, who was planning to commit mass murder but didn't fit within any of the seven categories.  So maybe we can agree there ought to be some process more restrictive than those seven simple questions?[/quote]
