When you look at these mass shooters, I defy you to find one that was an NRA member. What's more, I defy you to find many that were not on some sort of prescribed psyche drug. Are NRA members screened for psycho-pharmaceuticals? Was Christy Sheats a drug taking NRA member? quote:
“It would be horribly tragic if my ability to protect myself or my family were to be taken away,” the 42-year-old wrote in March on her Facebook page, “but that’s exactly what Democrats are determined to do by banning semi-automatic handguns.” Actually to my knowledge NRA members are not screened unless they try to buy liability insurance through one of their advertisers. I imagine and insurance actuary would practically demand it. Now if she was on psyche drugs that should show up on a background check and that would mean no gun. However she did not use a new Glock, they said I think a five shot. Those are revolvers and most of them were made in the early 1900s, so there is no record of them. It could have been in her Grampa's dresser drawer when he died. No amount of gun control can stop that unless there is a door to door search across the country tearing out people's walls n shit, forcing them to open their safe if they have one and skulking around the basement looking up at every floor joist. Looking at the top of every tall bookshelf, in every closet. The cost would be phenomenal. It would be cheaper to just pay the families of gun crime victims a million bucks apiece. You can never tell who is going to crack. Nobody can read minds. I do know that most mass shooters are on some kind of psychotropic drug. Maybe not all, but the majority of them. This is played down in the mass media but you can find the sources, reliable sources. They can control the sale of new guns, even make it hard to buy ammo, but people who have old unregistered ones are never going to give them up. Maybe a few will, but the majority of gun owners do not trust the government and even if they cannot stop the government, at least they can take themselves out. Take out a couple of cops or something and them stick in their mouth and do it. But that of course depends on the situation. And many want self defense against crime. Add up all these people and it comes clear that gun control will not work here. At least for a couple of generations. But maybe by then people will be civilized. But then we won't need gun control if people are civilized. Catch 22. T^T Actually there are several 5 shot revolvers on the market today, the Lady Smith for example.
