[QUOTE="Blue Baby, post: 2137689, member: 9422"] TimB- Please answer this. First: Why are you focusing on the tool a person uses to commit murder and not the reason the person did it? Why is the focus on firearms and not on prescription meds that may be causing mental instability? Why are we not discussing the failure of America's mental health system? All the universal background checks in the world won't catch a known mentally unstable person (Adam Lanza & James Holmes) that no one reported. Second: In 2011 just 2.5 percent (323) of all weapon-related murders were rifles. Why are you focusing your attention on "high capacity" rifle magazines? Again, don't you think as a society our efforts should be trying to cure the illness, not ban the tool? [/QUOTE]
