    and.....that's nothing to be proud of. 2018's gangsters have already racked up 220 total shootings, with 52 of them fatal. 47 days....318 to go. and just wait until summer!

    I just wanted to confirm you were talking about a background check. Do you mean like the one that was conducted and failed to find anything wrong with Cruz? One that didn't discover his school disciplinary problems because of FERPA? Like the one that didn't discover his medical history because of HIPAA? Like the one that didn't discover an FBI complaint, multiple local concerns, or local law enforcement interactions?

    Is that the form you're talking about?

    As long as we can make every Liberal Democrat a joint defendant in every illegal alien related murder, I'm OK with it.

    So, for our "G"-men, wasting months of time and coming up only with a list of Russians who tried to influence an American election both FOR and AGAINST
    Donald Trump (but without ANY evidence against ANY Americans at all) was more important than a plain, clear, loud warning of clear-and-present DANGER about some f*cking weirdo who had splattered his intentions all over social media that he was going to be a school shooter...? OK, got it. Glad to know that our wonderous FBI is "up to its eyeballs" in things of such great, overpowering importance.... :psychoitc:

    For some reason ObamaCo's move to call criminals "justice-involved individuals" popped in my head. Yes, the same people who want to know everything about us before letting us buy a firearm are simultaneoulsy making concerted efforts to downplay criminality.

    can't make it up.

    maybe you Democrats should crack down on crime instead of aiding and abetting it.

    To violent morons, no one is going to confiscate all weapons. Repeat, NO ONE.

    Is that how every other civilized country in the world deals with this problem? Arming every school?

    Yep, the entire FBI personnel were only doing 1 thing for the last 1.5 yrs. Come on.
    They dropped the ball, screwed up, but not because of any Russia investigation. Be real.

    I don't live in every other country. I live in a one country that has its own unique set of circumstances and challenges.

    Good idea. Make the NRA pay for the cost of arming schools with protection.

    Why are they unique? There are hundreds of countries that have people just like we do.

    And if they all have a success rate we want to achieve, then they have the model to solve this unique set of circumstances and challenges.

    I own guns. I have no fear of them being confiscated.
    Binary thinkers, think that a debate on gun control means taking all 300m guns.

    Also, there needs to be a serious debate on mental illness and how to deal with it.

    I love shooting. Though as I get older I see even small changes in vision affect my accuracy

    I see. So how would you fix it? Are you suggesting that highly bipartisan education and medical privacy laws shouldn't apply? If it can stop you from owning a gun, can it stop you from getting a job? How about government aid?

    Are you also suggesting being tougher on crime so that these infractions are actually recorded? Are you suggesting that youth offender's records shouldn't be expunged? Is the party that complains about America's incarceration rate & harsh sentencing having a change of heart?

    The expedient demand to do something is always stymied by total ignorance of what that something is. But never let that stop you from complaining about other people not knowing the answer either.

    I know the answer. How about we do what Canada, Japan, Europe,Australia does but we adjust it for America? Why is it a radical idea to do what works?

    In some states (my own included) a domestic violence incident can result in the arrest of both parties regardless of circumstance.

    Should having a domestic violence arrest on your record preclude your ability to own a firearm even though its possible you were the victim?

    In many cases charges are never pressed because of the relationship to the victim. Aggressors often go free without a trial or conviction. How can you flag these folk differently from the others?
