Guns for nuts

[fordman1]

I just read a survey that said 79% of Americans believe that mental ill people should not be allowed to buy guns.

My question is who are the 21% who think nuts should be allowed to buy guns????

Or are there that many nuts?

One of the problems is that a NUT may only be identified AFTER they do something nutty. We just had the Electric Daisy Event. Of the 135k that came, only 22 arrests for drugs and 8 for DUI. If you saw the outfits it would be easy to say some are nutty. There would be no way to identify who might be a terrorist in the future.
I propose that Vigilance by everyone with an eye on behavior that might be dangerous to others is all we can do.
Yes, I want all weapons dealers to be extra vigilant. Nuts don't throw nuts.

I would suggest 21% of the population being nuts is a very low number.

While the 21% think nuts should be able to buy guns, what about those who are starting to "lose it" and have guns in their possession already??

[fordman1]

It might not be a bad idea to have something in place to keep mentally ill people from getting or keeping guns.
Since the funding for many of the mental health facilities dried up there are plenty of them everywhere.

If you see your neighbor talking to his self and answering their invisible friend maybe they don't need a gun??

Yet 21% of the people in the survey said it was ok.

Don't call my friends invisible just because you can't see them doesn't mean they aren't there. Lol

Reminds me of a Jimmy Stewart movie. HARVEY who was an invisible rabbit.

So whom is making the determination that your mentally ill ?
Just because I'm paranoid does not mean that there is no one out to get me.

[fordman1]

I have already started a list.
Amyers and his invisible friend.
Jimmy the paranoid guy.
Not sure about 1Vegasbowler yet but I got my eye on him.
Me if I ever get so scared I have to buy a gun.
Anybody who thinks they need a AR-15 to hunt?
That's like fishing with dynamite.

naw the AR is to pull out when those attacking have lots of firepower ....you could hunt with it if you wanted to but I would prefer not to have to look for miles for the deer so I would use a 30-06 much more stopping power.
