@SteveLevitan if federal law prohibits the sale of a gun to a person with a history of mental illness, how was the sale legal?
Theater shooter reportedly bought the gun legally despite history of mental illness. NRA wins, we lose. #GunControlNow

@chaddychoo criminals don't care about the laws some I'm guessing the sale was illegal. -
@Kikipedia2 but the people responsible for selling the guns are not criminals right? They're responsible gun salesmen. -
@chaddychoo correct. -
@chaddychoo or people who do not meet the regulations bought them through gun smugglers or stole the gun? -
@Kikipedia2 so let's try to solve the problem 140 characters at a time. You and me partner!

@SteveLevitan why don't we talk about the real issue - that the mentally ill have too many rights. - View other replies

@Demon31G too many rights? -
@Kikipedia2 it's damn near impossible to get someone involuntarily committed. No matter how potentially violent they might be. -
@Demon31G you can take someone to a hospital if they hurt themselves or someone else.

@SteveLevitan how did the NRA win? -
@SteveLevitan I'm sure the NRA wanted people to die. -
@WilderWest11@SteveLevitan By lobbying for laws that allow mentally unstable people to purchase guns without screenings or waiting periods - View other replies

@lancesquire if you think they won by some idiot shooting a theatre up then you're no better than the people wanting all guns banned

@SteveLevitan Lafayette shooter brought gun legally because there's no shrink at the gun shop. Nor should should there be#lessgunfreezones -
@aRtepOLitico11@SteveLevitan Ron Logan is insane, and probably smarter than most pro-gun lobbyists.

@SteveLevitan@ichadlowe Can't make them pass a psych screening or endure a waiting period for guns.That's just wrong, right#toomanyguns -

@SteveLevitan@WillieGarson It's more complicated than that NRA supports mental health as part of background check: http://www.cnn.com/2014/05/30/politics/mental-health-guns-arizona/ … -
