I'm just trying to help prevent you radical NaziCon gun nuts from ruining it for the rest of us who support reasonable gun control legislation and strict enforcement.
Your ignorance and stupidity was too much for me to stay quiet.
Up to 1967, it was legal to sell and ship guns through the mail, no background check existed then. No mass shooting sprees in schools, stores or other public places happened, with the exception of the 1966 tower shooter, who unfortunately was a trained sniper, who had a big tumor in his head.
Up into the 1960's, it was legal to carry rifles in the vehicle, even in plain sight in some areas, No mass shootings happened at all except the occasional mob killings. The murder rate PEAKED way back in the early 1980's, has not been close since the 1990's when concealed carry became legal in many states, it is now around 50% LOWER than the early 80's.

America leads the world in number of guns per capita (by far), yet NOT in the top 50 murder rate per capita. Despite the massive increase in Concealed Carry permits, the crime rate went DOWN after 1990, when most of the states were allowing Concealed Carry.
Despite DOUBLING the number of fire arms in the last 30 years, coupled with massive increase in legal carrying guns around on the street, concealed the Crime rate went down and stayed down.
You are at odds with the second amendment, with the co sponsors of the second amendment, and with many democrats who in the classic liberal days also revered the second amendment, such as Hubert Humphrey, Scoop Jackson, and JFK.
If you bothered to pay attention to demographics of the shooters, you would have noticed they ALL had something in common, they were mentally ill and/or on behavioral drugs. Those are the people who have done these mass shootings the last 3-4 decades, thus laws will not stop them, but vigilance, drug rebalilitation and take guns out of mentally ill people can make a big difference.
