they use to commit murder? If we go your way why do anything at all? Just issue guns to everyone including felons 'cause they'll just get one anyway, right?

But I'll belabor this a bit more and cater to your wish for answers to the obvious.

Social media; so many mass murderers have social media history that broadcasts their intent to kill. If you aren't aware of this I don't know what to say.

Employer and family; who is better qualified to know a person's character and the possibility that they may want to harm themselves or others? Who is better qualified to judge mental stability? Ya know that whole mental health thing that is the reason for all gun violence according to gunners?

Is it subjective? Not any more than a partial criminal records check or the adjudicated opinion of a jury of peers.

As for the NFA, the reason the weapons that are currently on the restricted list are on that list is because of their unique lethallity. I see no difference between that lethallity and that of a "MSR" that can fire semi-automatically at the rate of 100 rounds a minute and be reloaded in less than 2 seconds.

Let me ask this question TexasDem69 Jun 2023 #13

By 'law abiding citizens', do you actually mean "law abiding citizens"? yagotme Jun 2023 #18
