[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who knew the man murdered and his family I also would really like it if we could focus on the actual issues at hand.

[b]I think the bigger issue is that we need to reduce the number of guns in our country.[/b]

I also know of a young woman in her early 20s who killed herself this week.

The common denominator in both deaths was that both people died by gun.  Fewer guns would really help.[/quote]

It’s too late.  Ghost guns were a game changer. People are making them on 3D printers now. [/quote]

I’ll bet you a quarter so called “ghost guns” had precisely nothing to do with this. [/quote]

Were you there? That’s a weird bet to make. They make up about a third of the illegal guns the police are recovering these days .[/quote]

Were YOU there?  Says who “a third of the guns police are recovering?”  And what if they are?  Near-religious belief in “registration” as a cure for criminal psychopathy, few if any criminals use firearms that they legally purchase or possess. Again and again the real cause of criminal violence — the criminals — gets ignored in favor of a talismanic belief that if somehow inanimate objects can be controlled the malignancy of corrupted hearts will somehow vanish.

I follow the news reports.  My point about ghost guns is that it's too late to regulate.    So we are on the same page there.   We need more police.   But to think ghost guns aren't a problem is foolish.   It's so easy to get an 80% glock at a gun show in VA.   Lines out the door, no ID checked, no max purchases, and ghost guns are cheap.   It makes it easier for bad people to do bad things.  [/quote]
