the Virginia Tech gunman legally purchased his gun - Posted by voltaire333 at 01:21 PM : Apr 04, 2008

Not sure that is entirely true. Choi had a history of mental illness and had been institutionalized. The paperwork involved in the purchase of a firearm generally includes questions regarding this type of history. Either he lied on the application, or else the instant background check failed to flag the application based on this disqualifying factor. Either way, his purchase should have been disqualified based on his history, so it was not a legal purchase. The law already exists to prevent this. It needs to be better executed.

Sure!! I just use my DELETE STUPIDITY button and everything you write disappears. It''s neat!

Hmmm, guess I will just have to organize some writing campaigns at some local colleges. - Posted by voltaire333 at 12:37 AM : Apr 04, 2008

Have you ever been to a college campus?

when you people start respecting the freedom of expression, I''''ll reconsider gun control, but for now, I''''m 100% committed to getting guns out of your hands.

Why do you blame all gun owners because you THINK one of us may have somehow deleted your posts?
Posts of mine have been deleted in the past, and I don''''t blame all gun haters for it!
I always felt that only CBS can edit their website.
Since you seem to want to steal my property so badly, I recommend you come in a tank or armored vehicle because body armor won''''t help you much if you want to survive.

Bravo Gunownerdan! You are right. If anyone is going to try and take my property from me, especially my firearms, they are GOING TO HAVE TO PRY THEM FROM ME COLD DEAD HANDS!!!!!

Criminal defendants have to be proven guilty. If the government fails to meet that burden, the defendant is still legally innocent.

I am not making this up. Read a book. Watch TV.

Yep, guilty criminals go free every day because if the State fails to meet it''''s very HIGH burden, the criminal goes free, and thanks to BillORights, he can run right out and legally buy a gun!

Sorry voltaire, if someone has been tried for a felony (guilty or not) it can either be immpossible or near impossible to purchase anything other than a long gun, and long guns are not the criminals weapon of choice (they tend to preferr knives and illegal hand guns that are NOT purchased from gun shops or law abiding gun owners). Punish the criminals not the law abiding.

[gunownerdan]

Gun haters and gun banning extremists almost always rely on stereotypes, insults, falsehoods, generalizations, accusations, and a childish emotional reaction to criminal violence.

voltaire333,
is it true that every gun nut is just one bad day away from snapping? LOL

Maybe if you grew up and stopped accusing everyone to be dangerous criminals, you wouldn''t be censored and booted.
Obviously you didn''t learn much from my old friend "schoollord".
Those "GUN NUTS" can be your friends, your neighbors, your local police officers, many millions of people own guns.
They are no more likely to "snap" than anyone else is.
In America people are innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around.

[gunownerdan]

Voltaire333,
There are literally thousands of gun control laws on the books right now, and they are designed to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and dangerous people.
If they are working so badly, what makes you think it will be any better if you make even more gun control laws?
Enforce the ones we already have.

[gunownerdan]

Gun control is the theory that an unarmed, murdered victim is somehow better than a person explaining to police how their attacker got shot.

I have heard it said that "the Gun you don''t have is likely the one that will kill you. ;)
