"So if nasty old guns are out there, the idea of slowing down adding more to the nasty old guns out there is a bad idea. Sounds like poor logic to me."
How, specifically, do propose "slowing down" ? I mean, let's hear the methods you believe our government(s) should use! And please use some detail. We don't want "imaginary wishful thinking". They have to be something that can practically be accomplished without turning our country into a dictatorship. Otherwise you are wasting our time. Something that will be upheld by the SCOTUS, in otherwords. I presume you are familiar with the previous rulings of the Supreme Court relative to gun laws. |

"You boys can defend this guy's right to bear arms if you like, but I take the position it should have been denied."
My first question Mal would be on what do you base the denial of his right to bear arms?
We deny the right to bear arms to many people now. Children, felons, mental cases, and others. Surely we can deny this guy a gun. Mental condition might apply.
Who, in your opinion, has the right to bear arms? Most sane people with the exceptions noted above and there are others. But they shouldn't have the right to carry them loaded wherever they go. And shoot anybody they think is theatening.
If you regulate everyone's right to bear arms how do you remedy the fact that there are millions of guns out there now in private possession? Confiscate them.
If there were at least one person in that theater with a concealed weapon could the outcome have been different?
Who knows. The guy had some pretty good body armor. If more people started shooting there could have been more deaths. If there were several people who started shooting, they might shoot each other. How would they know who's side they were on? If I were in that theater while shooting was going on and a guy a few rows away pulled out a gun, I just might shoot him.
Why do you Democrats always jump on the bandwagon after the fact? We've been on the bandwagon long before the fact as you call it.
I believe this is a horrible tragedy and am at a loss for words for the people and their families. This is a terrible thing and I wish we had a magic wand that allowed us to know how and when this type of thing is going to happen. So far by all indications there was nothing that alerted law enforcement to the fact this person was going to do such a thing.
Please join the rest of us in feeling for the people and their families and quit making stupid gallant statements like this. But if you do have that magic wand that says for some real reason other than your stand against guns that he should not have the right to bear arms I will withdraw that last sentence. No magic wand available. But better background checks would help.

It sounds like, if we are going to deny weapons to any additiuonal "profiles", it should first be all academic types. Based on this guy's history, the unibomber, etc., etc. |
