[QUOTE="WreckinGT, post: 401986, member: 147"] The kid who did this shooting was a 19 year old law abiding citizen who was currently expelled from his school, and had been reported to law enforcement dozens of times but had no problem legally obtaining a military style assault rifle and plenty of ammunition. You really don't see a problem there? You don't think maybe if we didn't allow 19 year olds to buy guns that it could have helped here. Maybe if he couldn't obtain a semi automatic rifle that lives might have been saved? Maybe if we had better background checks he might not have been allowed to buy the gun? Nobody is claiming that we shouldn't study the criminals in these cases. But lets pretend that we can walk and chew gum at the same time. I really don't see what is wrong with trying to keep guns out of the hands of kids and the mentally impaired. I really don't see what is wrong with having better background checks to try to avoid letting guns into the hands of those with a troubled past. I don't see what is wrong with banning some types of guns that have no reasonable use in everyday life other than killing as many people as possible as quickly as possible. The fact that conservatives will fight tooth and nail for the right for a troubled kid to legally buy a semi automatic rifle blows my mind. This really shouldn't be a partisan issue. [/QUOTE]
