It’s so embarrassing when Freepers respond to something they don’t like with inane, knuckle dragging comments. I remember when there were some real thinkers on this site.
My knuckles, my choice.

Care to provide a quote for your accusation?
I remember when you weren’t even on this site.
I thi k our readers have responded as they should. They mentioned “shall not be infringed” and they also mentioned that people hell bent on hurt8ng others won’t be tested, meaning that the only ones hurt by this new “proper testing” which, as readers pointed out will be exploited and highly subjective... who controls determining the results?” (Flaming liberals who are anti gun to begin with?) Will be the law abiding citizens, never the criminals who thumb their noses at laws anyways. The constitution was created to uphold our inalienable right, our God given right to protect ourselves. We already have laws which supercede the constitution by taking guns away fro. The criminally insane when courts decide its “proper” to do so- there is no need to put the vast majority of law abiding citizens through impossible hoops which WILL BE exploited by the left. They have already trampled our rights by passing an astonishing 20,000 plus actual gun laws, and another 300, 000 gun statutes. Which by the way, none of which would have stopped a y of the shooters practically- what would have stopped them however was the fsct that the fbi knew of the individuals in almost every case, knew they were radical, knew they were arrested for various crimes before hand, knew of their ideologies by their social,media posts, etc etc etc, and they still let them go
Punishing law abiding citizens even further by attacking them to “fix the problem” makes about as much sense as making it nearly impossible for anyone to drive in order to cut down on drunk driving.
Joh voit is wrong on this issue. His comments are not well thought out and are based on emotion, not hard facts. John apparently,isn’t aware that most of the individuals were identified as troubled people, yet they were still let go. We do not need tk test hundreds of millions of law abiding citizens In order to find a few unstable individuals, but we do need to keep an eye on individuals who have proven gh3mselves to to be a menace or danger to society. In almost every case, the fbi and local police forces dropped the ball on this . The ,eft are very quick to take guns away from patriots that don’t fol.ow the law, but they are loathe to take them from obviously mentally disturbed Individuals who are known to law enforcement many Times over.
To jon and others reacting on emotion- Stop attacking law abiding citizens. We aren’t the ones committingmthe crimes! We have 20,000 gun laws and 300,000 statutes related to guns. Enough is enough! Obviously another approach needs to be done. Criminals and the severaly mentally disturbed are tne ones doing the shootings, not sane law abiding citizens- maybe stop dropping the ball whenmpeople,with severe mental problems become dangers to society, and show obvious signs that indicate they might do somehting. Secure the schools (something the left fight tooth and nail,agaisnt, proving thst they are only,interested in taking uns away from those who follow the law)
Only an absolutely insane person would do these terrible things we see, so lets start there. Then after the fact we find out a dozen or more people already knew they were nuts. The parents, schools, other students, councilors and even medical staff. Hell he was even telling people what he was going to do online. There was plenty of time to catch this but nobody bothered. We used to lock these people up in Mental Institutions, now we just leave them on the streets.
