Exactly.

If they don't slip through the cracks in the system as it is (like the AZ incident and the VT incident) and can't buy legally... they'll just get the gun some other way, or worse, build a bomb or something.

Step 1. Enact blanket gun ban.
Step 2. Molotov cocktails and machetes EVERYWHERE.
Step 3. ?????
Step 4. PROFIT!!!

News Flash!!! The "instant background check", AKA NICS, is EXACTLY the same for the entire country! What isn't the same is the reporting levels required for those adjudicated mentally incompetent. The NICS check is only as good as the information that's fed into the system!

This guy was well on the radar scope for the liberal anti-gun sheriff of Pima Co. What did they do about this guy? Not a damned thing. Did the anti-gun sheriff secretly hope that someone like this would do something like this to further his anti-gun agenda?

Perhaps what should be in the spotlight is not the fact that a nutjob got a gun, but that the county did not practice due diligence in making sure he was correctly categorized, so that he couldn't legally buy a gun!

...add to that the fact that this shooter was NOT adjudicated as mentally defective. So the whole point of adding checks for adjudicated mental cases is moot in terms of preventing this shooters access to firearms.

You know whats really stupid about this all.......it doesnt matter how he got ahold of the gun, weather it was legally or illegally. When will politicians realize gun control laws only effect honest people, criminals are not slowed down or effected by gun laws. If someone bad wants a gun they will get one, one way or another. To impose even more gun laws on law-abiding citizens is a waste of government funding & everyones time.

"This is clearly an illustration of why we must all work together to fight gun violence in America and keep dangerous weapons out of the hands of the wrong people," she said in a statement.

<sarcasm> Because clearly, an individual with motive would never buy a used care and drive it into a crowd or anything. Guns are evil, cars are just 3000 pound sleds of carnage moving at high velocity! </sarcasm>

Oddly, when I first heard this, I wondered why one of the many citizens didn't produce their own weapon and defend themselves. The only thing I can figure is that because the event involved government officials, carry was prohibited.

What they don't get is that restrictive gun laws only handicap law abiding citizens. A person intent on murder and mayhem does not give give a damn about breaking a gun law.

But they do get that! They're using this as a reason to regulate arms. They know it won't stop crime.

Government wants control and people that can defend themselves aren't the most docile.

I wish people would get this. Tragedy is used as a means to push their agenda.

They don't give a flying flip about crime and whether it will go up or go down. They don't give a flying flip about your ability to protect yourself from an armed thug. All they do care about is your ability to protect yourself from government. Period. After all, that's WHY the 2nd Amendment was even birthed!

Frankly, I'm disappointed you all keep thinking they're just stupid and don't know what the heck they're doing.

When will people wake up to the evils of government? Dust the dirt off your history books and read them.

You all disappoint me. :(
