[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's less saying NO guns ever.  It's saying if you want a gun you need prove you are responsible enough to own one.  This way, you make it harder for access unless you are truly serious about gun ownership and the nut jobs who really love them still can actually get em.

This means you need to learn to shoot, take and pass a course on safety and protocols (ie process like getting your drivers license!)

It means you have to need to pass a background check that you're not a felon and also take a battery of tests to ensure you are mentally stable enough to be responsible to own.

What they ought to do is add another layer for security:  fees/penalties for crimes using the weapon.  So if a kid accidentally uses it to kill someone or if someone uses your weapon to kill someone else, etc.  you're on the hook.

Personally I would be much more at ease if above was the change.  I think it's unrealistic clearing out what's already on the streets and I also don't think gun lobby/politically we will ever agree to a outright banning of legit gun ownership.  Making it hard to get is best case scenario.

1. Mandatory safety courses are nothing but an inconvenience to an evil-possessed individual bent on destruction.

2. The shooter passed a background check. No “battery of tests” could identify anyone but a florid schizophrenic. So called psychological tests are objectively unreliable and depend on significant judgement (read guesswork) from the examiner.

3. The shooter used his own weapon. Most jurisdictions have enhanced penalties for criminal misuse of firearms. How much more “liable” can a person get in a death penalty jurisdiction like TX?

4. A huge number of people lawfully “conceal and carry” throughout the country, including in DC, MD and VA, every single day. They’re not the ones committing murder.

I’d like to know why the school was not more secure.

Yes, keep victimizing kids attending school because an 18 year old with body armor could purchase a large capacity magazine and outgun multiple police officers. Christ, what an asshole. [/quote]
