        That's why we need to restrict what kind of guns you can buy. #GunControlNow

        in honor of the Second amendment, restrict guns to the guns that were used in 1789, when it was enacted. Muskets, Long Rifles and Bayonets.

        People also pass the drivers tests and get drivers license.... then become irresponsible and drink and drive and kill people.

        Background checks as they stand in the US aren't thorough. If FBI doesn't find something in three days you're cleared

        I'd like a person with a documented violent past to not be able to purchase a gun. I'm sure that sounds unreasonable, though.

        If a mentally ill person wants a gun they will get one.... an alcoholic will get alcohol and a robber will rob anyone if he want it enough

        And he was a felon. That doesn't sound right. We need to focus on enforcement of current law, not enact more useless ones
