If you take prescription drugs behavioral issues or for depression then you should not be able to purchase firearm. Also, hold drug companies accountable.
How about 25 being the minimum age to purchase, and/or own, a gun. Along with that, a gun safety certification and a required number of hours in training.
Exceptions, of course, would be made for the military, but then, the military does the extensive training and safety requirements.
Twenty-five supposed to be the magic age when young adults finally gain the full ability to foresee the results of their actions, and the consequences of stupid decisions.
That’s five extra years of maturity, societal rules, and knowledge.
Let’s stop pushing societal control to younger and younger people. Everything from firearms to sex is being pushed younger and younger, when it should be going the other way.
And while we’re at it...twenty-five should be the minimum voting age too...same reasons.
Since the shooter did not shout "Allahu akbar", Hillary! supporters are saying "Blame the whole community for the actions of one crazed individual".
What’s with tougher background checks....they don’t do anything with the ones they have.
Things that need to change to facilitate said background checks
1) Document all bad behavior. Start laying mischief charges. For the little angels from ages 8 to 18. Have some sort of record to review
2) Bury the PC. Support teachers and police and remove the fear and backlash of confronting the hispanics and Trayvons.
3) Repeal all the liberal nonsense of putting medicated mental cases in our neighbourhoods. Lock up the criminally insane and work to improve the drugs to control the violent impulses.
My best idea is to imprison those who post serious threats on our public media.
Turned in to the FBI at least twice, 39 police visits, expelled from school due to threats. Let’s see ... we need more gun control laws and a monument to the stupidity of of the Left, and raise taxes to pay for the monument, of course.

Look for the “mental health” angle to be once again shoveled under the rug.
ANY gun ban, ANY infringement of the right to keep and bear arms signed by Trump, and I will STAY HOME from the 2020 elections. Absolutely serious. If Trump is willing to throw his NRA supporters to the Demonrat wolves, then he will get the same treatment.
Nick Cruz was only 19 and law enforcement had blown-off multiple tips. It is doubtful that an enhanced background check would have turned-up anything.
Who gets to decide who is mentally unstable? The left and more than a few republican squishes declare that Trump and those that support him are mentally unstable. Plenty on the left argue that military veterans and gun owners in general are unstable.
Beware the slippery slope.
This did not stop him from doing what he did.
We need to be focusing on the mental health side of this argument. The dude was taking meds with known side effects.
The system had multiple warnings and was ignored.
I’m really sick and tired of hearing about government doing background checks on us. Who the hell do these peolple think they are. We need to do background checks on all of them and I can tell you most would fail.
What will probably happen is a purchase application thru local police with a 30 day investigation to buy a firearm. A lot of power in the local deputy's hands, don't mouth off getting a ticket in that scenario.
How would “tougher background checks” have helped? They ALREADY KNEW about this mentally ill jerk.
Put BLAME WHERE IT BELONGS
The Shooter
The FBI
If that's what they're talking about it's already the law and should already be happening.
POTUS big mistake if you fold to liberal pressure.
I can go out and Lease (not even have to buy) a brand new Pickup Truck that weighs 5,000 Pounds and run down a Crosswalk full of Elementary School Kids on the way home (without being subjected to a Background Check).
Last time I checked, possessing a Pickup Truck is not a God Given Right as enshrined in our Constitution, but bearing Arms is a Right that “Shall Not Be Infringed”.

Here’s Why Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Never Reported Nikolas Cruz to the Police
Nikolas Cruz was a known threat. Known by the administrators of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. It’s a clear case where a known dangerous student was not reported to the police. Why?
Because back in 2013, the Broward County School Board adopted a program where they don’t relay information to police about troubled students.
NPR reported in Fla. School District Trying To Curb School-To-Prison Pipeline;
It’s a move away from so-called “zero tolerance” policies that require schools to refer even minor misdemeanors to the police. Critics call it a “school to prison pipeline.”
Under a new program adopted by the Broward County School District, non-violent misdemeanors — even those that involve alcohol, marijuana or drug paraphernalia — will now be handled by the schools instead of the police.
Cruz was banned from carrying a backpack at school after bullets were found in his backpack. Cruz was expelled from MSD last year after a fight with his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend.
Non-violent misdemeanors? Even so, red flags were flying.
Again, the Broward County School Board has an official policy requiring that they don’t tell the police about non-violent incidents with troubled youth.
“There were problems with him last year threatening students, and I guess he was asked to leave campus,” Maths teacher Jim Gard told The Miami Herald.
Let’s look at a law that might cover that.
784.011 Assault. —
(1) An “assault” is an intentional, unlawful threat by word or act to do violence to the person of another, coupled with an apparent ability to do so, and doing some act which creates a well-founded fear in such other person that such violence is imminent.
(2) Whoever commits an assault shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.
So another Liberal Feel Good program once again stepped in the way of the laws we have on the books being effective. Because last I checked, his actions of making threats to students and teachers constitutes assault.
It is possible that Nikolas Cruz would have been Baker Acted and received the needed medical attention he required before this all happened. But that wasn’t the case and sadly, 17 people lost their lives because of “feelz“.
