36. Oh, we can't do that!
>At what point do we determine a person’s mental condition should keep them from owning or purchasing a firearm?<

That's never going to happen. After all, how many gun-toting, patriotic NRA members would be stripped of their weapons due to untreated mental illness? I submit it would be an extremely high number.

Imagine how much fun it would be for the law enforcement that would have to deal with something like this as well.

Let's put it this way: Those who carry can't resist bragging about it, attempting to intimidate others with their death toys, etcetera. It's not about safety. It's all about intimidation and fear.

In the meantime, it's almost comical to watch the heated defense and the side arguments about caliber, etcetera, we get on every goddamn one of these threads. It doesn't matter what the caliber was, whether or not it was automatic, bla bla bla. People are still dead. Of course, the gun fetishists have no response for that. At all. After all, those people don't matter to them, and they never will.
