It's Been One Week Since Charlie Kirk Was Assassinated

no, guy, they don't check.

punching a name into a database and hoping you spelled it right isn't checking.

Checking is calling their family, their friends, the police department in their town, maybe their employer or school. (And if they are unemployed and not in school, that should be a big red flag.)

If someone had talked to VA Tech about Cho, they'd have found out he was so anti-social that they wouldn't let him into class with other students because he was creeping them the **** out.

If someone had talked to James "Joker" Holmes' school, they'd have found they were in the process of throwing him out because of his mental issues.

If someone had talked to the Highland Park PD, they'd have found Awake the Rapper had a lengthy police record.

Sounds like red flag laws. I guess thats one way to do it. If I hate someone at work, ill just go make a report that the guy is crazy and I've just put him on a list.

Although Cho had been deemed "mentally ill and in need of hospitalization" in a December 2005 court order, the record was not sent to the federal database.

Database was not updated

James Holmes was able to legally purchase guns because
his mental illness did not meet the specific criteria for being legally prohibited from owning firearms under federal and state law at the time of his purchases

So even if someone had called around and spoke with people, it wouldn't have made a difference because his mental illness wasnt disqualifying at the time.


But, ill tell you what. For the sake of argument, im just going to say, do whatever you need to do. Next time democrats have a filibuster proof majority like they did under Obama, pass all your gun bans, pass your wealth taxes, pass all the laws you want to pass. Don't pass up your opportunity like you did under obama.

And when you are caught, you'll be charged with filing a false police report.

Again, 2 minute phone call to a school. "Hey, one of your students, Cho Seung-Hui, wants to buy a gun. You okay with that?"

Waive confidentiality laws. They don't apply if there is a danger to the person or others.

VA Tech knew Cho was a problem.

They also paid 11 Million to the families of the victims.

Now, what we need to do is make it the law that gun shops and gun manufacturers also get to feel some of that love.

At that point, they will be bending over backwards not to sell guns to nuts.

Well, like I always say, if people dont like guns, they can turn theirs in to the local sheriff and next time dems have a complete majority, pass all the gun laws you want. I think you'll find that the crime stats wont change, criminals who want to kill will find a way to get a gun, or another method. It will be the law abiding citizens who will end up getting hurt

yes, you guys keep saying that, but the reality is the vast majority of gun deaths are suicides, domestic violence and accidents... not crime.
