Obama calls for more thorough background checks when purchas
Demand stringent background and mental health checks on your politicians.

Would this have prevented him from getting his guns? Was he a criminal at the time he purchased them? Isn't there something in place already that prevents criminals from legally obtaining firearms? (Criminals being felons) Or are we talking about criminals as in Department of Pre-Crime criminals?

This would force the left to admit they simply want less firearms in the peoples hands. This is the prime reason why many folks will not give up even a little as we know when you do the amount actually taken end up being far more then agreed upon.Blaubart wrote:Isn't there something in place already that prevents criminals from legally obtaining firearms?

Re: Obama calls for more thorough background checks when pur
main problems seems to be that nobody reported his worsening mental state / behaviour,
a bit like the situation in Scotland with Thomas Hamilton-- the police officers in charge of interviewing him when he was renewing his Firearms Certificate ,were not happy about his behaviour etc and recomended he WAS NOT allowed to have guns, but they where ignored and he went on a rampage and killed 16 children and 1 adult, with pistols he held legally, but wasn't suppossed to have, as he was only suppossed to have rifles ( he was only a member of a rifle club and only " had good reason to possess rifles " and wasn't a member of a pistol club, so had no reason, therefore no legal right to have pistols)
there has been all sorts of conspiracy theories why he did not lose his guns
