FF said it right.

Mentally challenged people should never possess a firearm.

So how do you regulate that?

Answer is you can't.

Look at our military people these days.Seems almost everyone comes back with some type of PTSD.

That problem happens more often than not. Because they are instructed to fill out the forms in a way that will get them benefits.

I love our military personel. But if they are diagnosed with any type of mental disorder, they should not be permitted to own a firearm.

We have more mental illness then ever these days. Every commercial is about some form of mental disfunction. They are presenting it like it's a common occurence.

Problem is, it's impossible to prevent people from obtaining firearms. So restricting the law abiding citizens will prevent nothing.

Criminals and mentally ill people will get them no matter what.

And keep in mind that many of these mass shootings are from guns owed by the household, not so much the individual.

It's a slippery slope and one that is very difficult to get a handle on.

But taking the guns out of the law abiding citizen will only lead to more killings. You MUST have the ability to defend yourself in a sane manner.

is... "Why are these young people who are shooting up classroooms across America for the past 30 years so mentally deranged?"

What has been punded into his mind for the last 18 years? 

The common denominator in a majority of these shootings is the age and sex of the shooters. Many of them killed or shot a parent or grandparent before going on their rampage.

Many of these poor kids are raising themseslves. Parents are AWOL

Many believe the school system should raise their children. And those are the children most susceptable to some type of mental disability.

What is a child to do when they receive no love from the home?

Seems many parents today are simply not involved with their childrens school activities. And unfortuneatly, this is far more prevelent in the poorer areas.

Welfare has been the cause of this for a very long time. We now have generations that expect welfare to take care of them for life.

Welfare was intended to provide the bare minimums until people were able to get back on their feet. But the liberal democrats have turned it into a full-time job.

I'll repeat something I have posted here and said in discussion: The AR15 should be an NFA item.

Americans do own listed weapons, even fully automatic.

The NFA requirement would require more thorough background, other investigations than are currently in place. If nothing else they would limit the impulsive opportunity of potential mass shooters- the investigation typically takes anywhere from 8 months to a year. One doesn't celebrate your 18th birthday and buy 2 AR15s for a mass shooting a couple days after your 18th.

Oh- and your parents would probably know about the guns- Payton Gendron's did not.  They could not have attempted an intervention even if they were so inclined.

The military does not effectively address the issue. My experience is that guys with eventual PTSD diagnoses are not aware of or deny the issue until the treatment starts.

I love our military personel. But if they are diagnosed with any type of mental disorder, they should not be permitted to own a firearm.

We have more mental illness then ever these days. Every commercial is about some form of mental disfunction. They are presenting it like it's a common occurence.

PTSD is a common diagnosis. It is seldom manifested in violent acts. My experience is that our military and our vets are extremely principled and disciplined and do not engage non-combatants under any circumstances.

Problem is, it's impossible to prevent people from obtaining firearms. So restricting the law abiding citizens will prevent nothing.

Again, I believe the AR15 should be NFA. That would slow the acquisition and would increase effective investigation.

Criminals and mentally ill people will get them no matter what.

And keep in mind that many of these mass shootings are from guns owed by the household, not so much the individual.

Payton Gendron's parents didn't know he had the weapons.

It's a slippery slope and one that is very difficult to get a handle on.

But taking the guns out of the law abiding citizen will only lead to more killings. You MUST have the ability to defend yourself in a sane manner.

People with mental illnesses should not be allowed to possess, own, purchase, or play with any type of firearm.

That includes people who can't figure out which bathroom they should use. It also includes people who are convicted felons, even if it's felony shoplifting, or some other "victimless" serious crime.

It also includes every liberal, since liberalism is a mental disorder.

Still think we should not have any limits on "assault weapons"?

who threatens violence when she is upset. 

Whoopi Goldberg should be on the list that prohibits her from owning, possessing, purchasing, or being near a firearm.

Are you okay with this "limit'?

Whoopi Goldberg threatens to 'punch somebody' if she hears Republicans are heartbroken after Texas shooting

I agree, anyone such as yourself who is a trump cultist needs to be prohibited from owning firearms. We saw what you freaks are capable of on Jan 6. 

Yes, I'm okay with Whoopi punching you... 

Forget about people like Trump who enoucrage violence at his rallies...

A real man doesn't need an assault weapon, those are for conservative cowards.

Ever notice how Red Necks, Little Dicks, Big Trucks, and Assault Weapons seem to go hand in hand?
