Go after the GUNS! THAT'S the answer!I’m a big fan of the Second… yet at the same time it’s apparently obvious that we need to tighten regulations towards the mentally unstable.
I always see this - sometimes a Communist agent against the Second Amendment, but sometimes just a party with little understanding of Liberty - but it's always the same: "I'm a big fan, BUT...."
There is zero "tightening" that will serve any purpose or accomplish any goal toward what you rightfully and correctly desire. This has been proven time and again, place after place, and is only the feelgood result of hand-wringing. So no, nothing is "apparently obvious". History, recent and old, has proven that measure wrong many times over and proves it wrong daily. After all, we HAVE "tightened regulations" right NOW.
For every "a nut with a gun" there's at least as many "a nut with a knife" stories. Why would we make it so EASY to get a knife? Or a machete? Or baseball bat? The 'apparently obvious' problem is the nut, not the regs.
But you need to worry about 'tightening' because the media TELLS you that other people worry about tightening. Don't worry about them. They're wrong.
The story in question wasn't even a random nut. All the connections to the victims were real. He had some kind problem with them, maybe also with the cop. Journalism was once alive and able to spell this out. Today, not so much. Just drama for the sake of drama.
The First Rule of Gun Safety is to never relinquish control of your guns to the government. That includes "tightening".
