I really don't know how that's relevant to anything I've said.

This is absolutely Nuts!

The details of the armory that the Newtown shooter possessed is beyond astounding.
What possible reason could he have for possessing the number of high load magazines and and the quantity of ammunition?

Why didn't the alarm bells go off somewhere? Possessing a weapon is one thing and being able to hold a small war is another. This is beyond the right to bear arms

My question is why the mom could get all those guns when she knew she had a troubled person in the house. Shouldn't a background check have revealed that when she bought her first gun?

Hello again, clete:

They're not happy unless EVERYONE is capable of maximum mayhem.

It IS nuts.

Shows the limits of backround checks .there would be no reason to deny her a purchase.

talaniman · Mar 29, 2013, 04:37 AM

Shouldn't that be changed?

tomder55 · Mar 29, 2013, 04:39 AM

How ? Deny her a right because she has a sick child ?

excon · Mar 29, 2013, 04:45 AM

Hello again,

Seems like it's time for more of excon's wisdom...

According to you, all of us exconvicts belong to a club where we AUTOMATICALLY know where to buy illegal guns on the street... If that sounds stupid, it's because it IS.

Look, I'm SURE you won't believe me (because I'm a member of the club), but there are SOME people out there who still think... This weekend, I can attend a gun show, and buy ANY gun I wish from the private sellers wandering around there. That would be ANY gun and as many of 'em as I want. Now, I'm a fairly benign exconvict.. I ain't going to hurt you. But, there's SOME out there who you really DON'T want to be able to buy guns.. Really. You DON'T want them to have guns..

If there was a universal background check I couldn't buy a gun. Contrary to your assertion, I have NO IDEA where I could buy one off the street. I DO know enough to KNOW that I'd get my white a$$ KILLED if I wandered around the hood trying to buy a gun. They're not going to believe that I'm a member...

Beyond that, your refusal to pass a law that would PREVENT people like me from getting guns, is one of the MOST criminal FRIENDLY positions I've seen the right wing take. It's positively bleeding heart stuff.

Again ;how would a universal national backround check prevent Lanza's mom from buying the arsenal she owned ?

excon · Mar 29, 2013, 05:06 AM

Hello again, tom:

I appreciate your thinking that I could SOLVE the problem.. Sorry. I can't. But, preventing people like me from getting guns would go a long way towards SOLVING it.

Look. I'm just learning about this straw man thing people use, and I think you just did that. Do you believe, that since we CAN'T stop all murders, we shouldn't try?? It sure LOOKS that way. How come that sounds LIBERAL??

4 guns and 1600 rounds is an armory? Dude, my dad easily has that tripled in weapons and probably 10 times that in ammo plus loading equipment... he's never shot anyone.

If she disclosed because she was asked if she lived with a mentally challenged person then she would be denied. You know like doctors use to ask if there is a gun in the house? Oh that's right, that's a violation of privacy.

How about a more comprehensive background check? And if you righties weren't so scared of your own government, or losing YOUR own rights, we could do better than arm the crazies, and criminals.

You just keep listening to Wayne, and do nothing, and help him make his loot.

Is you dad a loony? Does he live with any? Just because your dad is a responsible citizen, that's doesn't mean everyone is. This isn't about the good guys, its about the bad guys. They are who we should watch and limit.

I was responding to Clete's apparent shock at the 'armory' which in itself was designed to shock others. Sorry, but 4 guns and 1600 spare rounds isn't even close to an 'armory'.

I can't explain the mom, but that's at the heart of what I've been saying is the problem - the culture your side has left us with. No amount of background checks is going to fix the family or restore respect for human life. This is what you guys wanted and these are the consequences, stop hollering at us for the havoc you've wreaked on society.

talaniman · Mar 29, 2013, 07:12 AM

Lets tweak the system and maybe that will give the family a chance to fix itself. That's better than more kids being massacred.

Or would you rather throw rocks?

When it comes to the breakdown of the family and millions of abortions I'd rather throw rocks, maybe it would knock some sense into libs.

That plus the other weapons he amassed in his basement constitute an armory for a mentally ill person. Would you want him and all his weapons in YOUR basement? Would you call it an armory then?

speechlesstx · Mar 29, 2013, 08:39 AM

I wouldn't call it an armory period and feel no need to rehash the mental issue.

I wasn't trying to. I was talking about Adam Lanza living in your basement or guest bedroom (if you are on a slab) with all his weaponry.

Hello again,

It's a straw man (which I'm LOVING) to say that none of these proposed regulations would have prevented Sandy Hook.. You say that, because you CAN'T say that it won't prevent the NEXT Sandyhook, and THAT'S the discussion to have.
