        Mental health is the issue, not gun control. Why are Americans so crazy? Timothy McVeigh didn't shoot anyone.

        Allowing the mentally ill to buy guns easily isn't helpful. Profitable, yes. Safe? No. That is a gun safety issue. There are other

        There are different kinds of mental illness - not all predispose one to violence. Also not all murder is terrorism. Just some nits to pick.

        Yes, mental health is nuanced. So is gun safety. Doesn't mean we can't address them with policy.

        Doesn't necessarily mean you can either. A gun/gun store owner, having done a background check, reserves the right to refuse a sale.

        Hats off to the gun dealers, gun makers, and the gun lobbyist. Dying ain't much of a living but selling it sure is!

        Yeah but if more people had guns that would go down, right? That's the NRA logic isn't it?
