It will take a long time but we have to do something to control this. By the way, what is your mental status to need to have all these weapons handy.

Your initial premise is in error. The general public cannot purchase military weapons. If you re-read the thread you will learn that there are numerous posters who correctly report this fact.

The Newtown shooter had a mental defect which should not be overlooked. Background checks almost always fail to reveal this information because your federal government fails to make the states report this important personal information. Instead, the Feds depend on self reporting by the individual. This is a huge and problematic defect in the background check system.
