    The only way to stop severely mentally ill people from obtaining guns is a total ban? Are you absolutely sure about that? There’s no regulation out that that would mitigate the problem?

        By putting them on a red flag list after they’ve been put on a psych hold. It’s not that difficult.

          Cool, that’s already in place, and the Maine shooter still killed people. Dude was known all over the place to LE and still was armed.

            If it’s already in place, how did this guy in Nashville get a gun?

              Because criminals don’t follow the law… because they’re fucking criminals…you cannot be this dumb… murder still happens you know? And a ton of laws are in place to make it illegal.

                Sorry… your argument is that criminals don’t follow the law so we should have laws in place to stop them?

                  No but I’m also not delusional to try what you think, which is to make murder double illegal… that’s your logic not mine.

                    I’m pretty sure stopping mentally ill people from getting guns when they can get guns now does not make anything double illegal.
