Stop blaming the guns and start blaming the human beings.

It is easier in the U.S. for one to buy a gun, than it is to get professional help for mental illness.
Do you have a cliché to fix that problem too?

You can buy a gun by picking up the phone?
Interesting.

A person can go buy a gun at Walmart, and murder someone within the same hour.
Getting an appointment with MHC's can take months they are so booked. Anybody knows that.
I made a simple, yet true statement, which cannot be refuted on any account.
You pour out all these little snippets liken to "don't run with scissors", and expect to make a point. Sorry. We've all heard those tired little quips, and they don't carry much weight anymore because they don't work out so well, or have much impact on those who really need to abide by them. Tried and failed little clichés they are.
Just sayin'

Ahhhh. Great example. Reeks of an illegal gun sale.
But no, I meant can you actually purchase a gun over the phone? As in money changes hands and the gun is somehow transported through the phone? Not just arrange to buy a gun, carry out the transaction via the phone.
I took the middle of the road approach.
What is being done in this society about the idea of violence? It is embraced everywhere.
Yes, people are going to get guns, they will find a way.
Maybe both sides could sit down and discuss what can be done, without infringing upon rights?
It isn't the lack of knowledge of guns for some people, it's knowing full well what to do with guns.

I ask this..why are some gun owners against free speech?
You love to bring up the constitution..but only when it is for you.
This person may be asking for limits to gun rights..but it is allowed under the first amendment. This does not mean it is law.
You gun owners only like free speech when a person advocates more guns but want to fight it when it against less guns..idiots.

Anybody who lives in the U.S. knows it's much easier to buy a gun than to receive treatment for mental illness. No sense in my commenting further, it's common knowledge, or should be. Or maybe do your own experiment.
And no, I'm not offering a solution about the gang problems. Gawd.

A person could do the same with ANY item they purchase at wal-mart, including a baseball bat, a lamp, or even a ... wait or it .... PEN!!! Yes one could actually quite easily murder another human being with a pen an hour after they purchased it at wal-mart. Could even strangle a person with shoe laces.
Help for a mental illness is only a phone call away. A gun purchase requires filling out a form and a NICS check when purchasing at a place of business that carries an FFL. Even most flea market vendors do this check, and any licensed dealer at a gun show as well. Private citizens are not required at the Federal level to record a transaction, but many states do. Even in the states that do not, go look at the classifieds online, nearly every private listing requires a DL and bill of sale. because responsible gun owners understand what accountability is and are not out to just fill the streets with as many guns as possible.

I am not on either side. You have your gun, but don't sell your gun to pawn shops, because those can be stolen. Don't sell your guns at gun swaps, you don't really know who is buying them. Don't sell your guns from your trunk, anyone can get them. If you have a gun, don't sell it. If you don't need it, take it to the police to destroy it.
The problem is that gun owners are losing their guns somehow. Be responsible with your guns. And for goodness sake, don't sell it on craigslist.
That is what I think. Don't sell it on Ebay. Don't sell it on Amazon. You just do not know if someone has stolen identity.

Sorry, I get bored sometimes, and this is not how I want to spend my evening. Think I'll go elsewhere.
See ya around.

Yes, you can. It goes like this...
Bubba: Hey man, Billy Bob said give you a ring.
Lamont : What's up man? You the brother with the gun?
Julio: Chico said you the guy to call. What you got to sell me?
Yes, it is that easy and happens all the time.
