As usual, cram everybody on the short bus, drop some ice cubes in their soup, and remove everything from the classroom with corners because two students can't cope with the same challenges of the rest of the class, or the classes of the fathers, or the classes of the fathers' fathers.
So long as one person exists to make a tragedy, we must make the world safe at everybody's expense.
First it's ban X
Now it's violate somebody's privacy rights to obtain X because somebody might fall through the cracks.
And what do the brilliant commentators suggest when the system fails? ANOTHER SYSTEM.
So we have strict background checks that violate confidentiality (we'll forget about that for a min). And how do these background checks work? For every applicant, you need a complete criminal AND medical record (criminal is networked now so skip that). In order to implement a medical record system, you would need the NICS equivalent, which would cost BILLIONS of dollars. Moreover, a felony = a felony. But what about psychiatric observation? Are all pronouncements =? Felonies don't cure themselves, but do psychiatric conditions? You would need an ungodly amount of manpower and money to implement, update, and judge these cases, from state certified mental health departments and law enforcement alike. For what? A statistically insignificant amount of occurrences that deserve no attention whatsoever (in terms of frequency/likelihood) other than the fact that they generate a horrid fascination by the public?
One day, you just wake up and say, "Fuck you! I'm not taking off my shoes, my necklace, my underwear, submitting to a rectal search and doing without all liquids on board because a couple of Allah-chanting motherfuckers fell through the cracks!" (Note for the overly-sensitive PC hypocrites: If "Bible thumping" is an acceptable term then "Allah-chanting" is as well). One day, you just have to suck it up and realize you are an adult, and you need to live in the real world, where you don't have a federal "mommy" micromanaging your seat belt use, and your caloric intake. One day you grow up and take accountability for yourself, and expect the same from your fellow man, instead of scapegoating everything icky on your agenda that doesn't belong in this impossible city More called Utopia.
Yeah. It's so sad that one malcontent can devastate lives that quickly. Yeah it's sad that we have evolved methods of taking lives as we have "evolved" as a society. Yeah it's sad we have guns, knives, and bears (Oh my!). It's also sad we have mentally unstable people, and those who are just plain evil, who have plied a trade of violence with finger, fist, flipknife, or firearm. And that's reality. It won't change. You can cast lofty aspersions with an air of smug pretentiousness. You can gnash, wail, lament, whatever. Nevertheless, those who complain and cry about how "wrong" this permissiveness is never seem to have a solution. Of course there is no solution. There is no prevention... no cure for crime. Without crime there is no human nature.
All that said, I am pleasantly surprised at the small amount of detractors on this site, yet I am disappointed any exist here of all places. This is a group of people that subscribe to abuse, humiliation, and violence. This group uses tactics, implements, and apparati employed by some of the most devious and disgusting individuals of human history, which were created with NO other use in mind but to create suffering and misery of the worst kind for all of humankind. Aside from the fact (we'll call it a theoretical fact for onsite liability reasons) that many of these people violate the law performing sexual assault, battery, etc. while performing their lovemaking acts, many people inside/outside the lifestyle might recognize in the totality of circumstances that a core group exists for the sole purpose of creating healthy intimacy with others. YET there exists a fringe element of sick and/or evil people who have little respect for the concept of SSC behavior. And despite the fact that there is a despicable history with much this lifestyle is obsessed with... despite the FACT that there is a recognizable subset of people using this lifestyle for the worst reasons possible, EVERY single person on this board JUSTIFIABLY defends the FREE practice of this lifestyle.
The fucking hypocrisy, astounds me, sickens me, and offends me, when I see such adamant defense of what we all enjoy together on this group followed by these myopic and ignorant attacks on those things that some of us don't like.
Just once, I would love to see justice at work where the law does not apply equally. I would love to see those who live by the sword of government regulation bleed at the neck from the wounds meted out by the other edge. What audacious protests would hiss from those forked tongues when they can only buy one flogger per year, when extensive background checks would be required for the purchase of a singletail. Have you or a partner ever been convicted of a domestic violence charge, or a felony of ANY kind? Any implement or apparatus is off limits under a MANDATORY federal sentence of 15 years. Does anybody really NEED a TENS unit with that amount of voltage? Let's regulate those with a $200 tax stamp and a Form 9 (complete with 4-6 month waiting period for each one). Look at this... leather laces and brass grommets found in a drawer. Do you have a license to make implements? Oooooh one call from your disapproving neighbors to the Bureau of ATFS&M and you do 10 years federal mandatory for constructive possession of materials to make an illegal beating implement.
Just be an adult. Learn to live with the fact that there are things in this world that you don't like/understand, things that might even do some evil in society despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of them do either good or none of the above. Face the facts that there will be sick and evil people in this world that are going to do evil despite the bold "thou shall nots" written on paper, and despite the vain efforts of 4 tin badges for every 12,000 swinging dicks out there trying to enforce the words. That's part of being socially responsible and enlightened enough to understand the difference. And if you just cannot or will not see the light, don't you dare protest when the Nazis come for you gypsies next, after you helped them ferret out all the Jews on that dark day that some senator's bored loser of a wife nearly loses her husband to a crazy Dom/me and starts a special interest group to stamp this "cancer" out once and for all.

RE: Meatcleaver, Guns, & America - 
How 'bout we just make individuals responsible for their own actions instead?
