They can't change evil hearts, but they can change the laws regarding gun ownership and what it takes to buy a deadly weapon!

I am not sure if you read my post in the first page of this thread. OP is famous for creating controversy topics and never makes remarks. Take look at OP's previous posts. Just google his name. He is a writer and ran for city council position and lost.

No motivation? Yet, you keep doing it.
He sent threatening messages specifically to the former in-laws.
He had attended the church in the past and knew the family's church attending habits. He would know where to look for them in the church.
Of course, no one knows his end game plans but we can't assume he was done either. Would you want to take that chance? Would you just want him to drive off?
You are the one who doesn't get it. If you keep the crazy's from getting the guns in the first place, you don't have to worry about having a John Wayne or Bruce Willis in the crowd to take out the bad guys.
You have no idea when someone is going to snap. If someone is intended on inflicting carnage they will do so with or without a gun. We have seen this over and over. Don't forget it was a good guy with a gun that stopped that maniac from killing more people. It's too bad that nobody in that church was packing or he would not have killed as many as he did. Very sad.
Sorry, I had to go back to see what he said, He said all that really needs to be said.

Yet you expect perfection from more in-depth background checks on gun purchases?
At the time, it was the Department of Investigative Services. The local NIS for each area did the interviews of neighbors. They mostly check criminal history records, character and association with subversive groups.
For submarine sailors, they have to undergo psychological testing (that you seem to promote for gun owners). Even with that, some "nuts" squeak thru the system. No one can predict every possibility of someone going lethally crazy.
No. Because it's not foolproof and it would be very time consuming and expensive.
True you never know when someone will snap, but you don't need to help them kill their victims by having ineffectual checks in place that makes it easy for them to acquire the weapons they need. It's too bad that nobody in the gun industry and many who own guns won't go for any restrictions placed on their rights to buy firearms to protect the public from these people who clearly shouldn't be allowed to own deadly weapons. Without changes to the background checks that put common sense rules into their purchase such as: not letting crazy people buy them that has gotten us into this predicament.
You obviously have never obtained a FOID, CCL or purchased a firearm in the state of Illinois. I will agree that there should be national standards however background checks are mandatory in all states. Protect the public? Do you watch the news? Do you think people intended on inflicting violence need a gun?
That was a russian military rifle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AKM

Again, you have no clue about me. I watch Fox AND CNN AND HLN AND NBC, CBS, AND ABC. I also search the web.
Only as an example of how a good guy used an AR-15 for a good reason, with good results, yet you don't want him to have that gun. It goes to show your lack of logic when it comes to "gun control."
Just laying out the possibilities that haven't been disputed or proven otherwise, based on the evidence at hand.
But will that stop mass killers? Probably not. It would just infringe the rights of everyone else.

It took him over 13 years to make 41 posts, so....
Ha! I wonder what possessed him to choose this alldeaf. I doubt he is deaf or HOH or whatever it is... I did google his name. He likes to write, but he is not practical. Nope!

I hate top security clearance interviews and questions. FBI still has my files since I was a preteen. It is very time consuming and long brutal process. In the 90s, my dad had the top security clearance. They questioned my life, character, and beliefs and made me take psychological test. They took my blood and feces for tests. They asked if I love my country. I was 13 years old. Now, I had to start all over again since my husband recently had to renew his security clearance. The questions are more personal and tougher than before. Thanks to the Digital Era and 9/11. My background took forever than my husband's because my parents are naturalized citizens and my relatives are from both countries. I had to provide the long list of foreign names, current addresses, jobs and birthplaces I'm in contact with.
There is nothing wrong with background checks. I'm all for it. I read the link that nearly 74% of NRA members support requiring background checks for all gun sales.
