[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3789081, member: 44288"] I'm a simple man with common sense. The persons that kill are using the best means available to them to do this dastardly deed. Semi automatic weapons are deadly and can produce massive casualties. Keeping them out of the hands of the mentally ill is the entire challenge. Banning the weapons from all society is off the table, it just won't work and will never get passed. IF, we are going to have background checks, I am in 1000% agreement with [USER=936]@ratski[/USER] in as much as ALL RECORDS should be available and searchable for background checks. The above begs the question, who is the deciding factor on these checks? Is it a totality of the circumstances with a rating schedule or a tallied score? Ten points if you have ever been convicted of a felony? Two points if you talked back to your teacher in high school? Hell, we can't even come up with a fair way of deciding which college football team gets to play for the championship. I am also in agreement with [USER=13693]@chuter[/USER] about stiff penalties for false reports of individuals being mentally ill and possibly dangerous to others and the reporting party should be so warned. Is there a common thread between all of these mass murderers? Yes, they are all antisocial and most have displayed several outward signs of this through social media, personal statements, manifestos, past criminal behavior, etc. Self policing doesn't work, the family unit doesn't work, therefore it is going to have to be an outside agency or court system to decide and then the hardest part, enforce.
