Interesting that these other countries all have people with mental health issues but don’t have the problems we do with gun violence. We certainly need to focus on stricter gun laws!

I do not accept your daughter as a expert in the problems of America. Sorry, but you start saying how people are just expressing their opinions and then expressed yours and your daughters (and you seemed to present your daughter as a expert witness in sociology. And, I would suggest that social media, video games, et al, are just as prevalent around the world as they are here, yet, 4% of worlds population accounts for 99.9% of the class room murders. If you want an opinion, the gun rights argument is the root of the problem. It is used to scare gun owners into hating people that want to stop th murder children. Listening to the "gun rights" extremists, it seems they don't think children live are as important as shooting deer or blowing up water melons. Now, that was OVER THE TOP on my part. Which I did very intentionally to explain why people that want to solve the problem are so frustrated. Imagine, mass murders will just take cars and drive then into the school to kill children if that is what they want to do. |

To sell a gun at a retail level requires a FFL, Federal Firearms License. Federal law (not Texas) requires a FBI background check prior to purchasing any Firearm. There is no way that you can buy a gun from a retailer or any responsible gun owner anywhere in the US without a FBI background check. I know, I had my FFL for several years and the FBI made regular inspection visits. I would risk serious jail time if I couldn't account for every gun and produce the FFL background check for every purchase. If a private individual sells a gun without going through a FFL dealer they can be held responsible for whatever is done with that firearm. You would be insane to take that risk and end up in jail for what happened with the gun you sold.

Universal background checks, RE-classifying AR-15s as assault weapons (that's how they were, before they were DEclassified as assault weapons), and banning same-day sales of firearms at gun shows (because of the universal background check requirement) would be a good start. |

Give me a break, at least have enough compassion to be sensible. Yes, people who want to kill will find a way to kill - guns just make it easier and more efficient. Maybe there is a reason the pentagon is not shipping a massive amounts of bats to the Ukraine. |

One of the more cogent posts in this thread, in my opinion.

Only some states have regulations requiring private sales go through licensed dealers. It isn't a universal thing. That's why people are pushing for universal background checks. Universal meaning - anyone selling a firearm needs to run a check on their customer or they are violating the law. |

And I COMPLETELY agree with you. ANYONE that sells a firearm that is then used to murder someone should be charged with accessory to murder. |

"If you take away their guns they will just use bats".
Question, why is the pentagon not sending more bats to the Ukraine. |

How about instead of arming teachers that don't want it and are not competent, let's give all the kids 9mm handguns when they get to school. Replace the library with a shooting range and have them check them back in when they go home.
What could go wrong with a class full of 9 year olds armed with 9mm's. After all I don't recall any age limits on the 2nd amendment. Even this 18 year old murderer would not be crazy enough to go into a room full of armed 9 year olds. |

I don't think the right to bear arms should include Uzzi's, AR rifles etc. and being so easy to get for a newly18 year old. It wouldn't fix everything but might cut down on MASS shootings and police waiting an hour for backup

I don't buy it, but it was at least a reason I could understand some people feeling strongly about. There are studies in history that show one of the first steps of an autocrat is to take away peoples guns. Hence all the claims Obama was "coming for our guns" - even though more guns were sold under Obama than under Bush and no one ever reported having feds come take their guns away. Just saying. |

In addition, the doctor patient confidentiality should be considered, and healthcare professionals should be required to check a box saying, "recommended for gun purchase" or "not recommended for gun purchase". That keeps the why private, but could help with background checks. Of course, that has problems too - like a doctor doesn't want ANYONE to get guns, or a doctor wants EVERYONE to get guns. etc. etc. etc. No solution is perfect. |
