House Passes Bill Allowing Mentally Ill Veterans To Own Guns

Foundations are always founded by a couple of rich folks. Everyone knows that. Do you oppose the NRA too? The Brady Campaign uses facts and statistics.

I wouldn't be negatively affected by it because I don't want people with mental issues having arms. So you're saying that if we have stricter gun regulations, the country would crumble and people would die? If the laws were slightly stricter, we'd lose all our rights? That's just not true.

If these gun owners are really law-abiding, good people (which of course they mostly are), they should not take issue with going through some extra hoops to prove that they are.

Yes, I'm familiar with the GINI Coefficient. You really aren't teaching me anything. And I agree with closing the wealth gap. Heroin and other drugs are different because you can't go on a heroin massacre. It is a different topic and should be treated differently.

What do you propose to decrease gun violence, then?

I am familiar with gun laws per state and country. What exactly are you asking? Kind of a broad question. In my (blue) state of Washington, we have pretty lenient gun laws. Most people I know think those laws should be more lenient. It's a big topic of discussion where I live, due to most of my neighbors being big gun fanatics (I don't live in the country, either. I live in a suburb of Seattle).

Again, what do you think would solve the gun issue? Or do you deny that there is one?
