WDBJ reporter, cameraman shot and killed during live report

[GURPS]

While Barry and VA's governor yammer about gun control, nobody has come up with a single reason why the shooter could have been denied the one he purchased.

I guess the next back ground check method, will include a visit with a psychiatrist before you can purchase a weapon, and a 60 day 'cooling off' period

That would mean, no guns for you!

When events like this occur, I am always reminded of how many truly mentally damaged people there are in the world. It is staggering to me just how many people cannot function normally, without violence.

And those that have mental deficiencies, and are a danger to themselves and society as a whole, are amongst us, with no recourse, nowhere to put them, no way to protect ourselves from them..


Thanks Jimmy Carter..

• Avent received the letter in a package on Sunday - four days after Flanagan killed two former colleagues on live television
• In the letters, Flanagan talked about his side career as a male escort and wrote about his fear of aging
• Avent also told the New York Daily News about his last phone call with Flanagan, just moments before the 41 year old committed suicide
• Just after killing WDBJ reporter Alison Parker, 24, and cameraman Adam Ward, 27, Flanagan sent Avent a text saying he did something 'very bad'
• Avent later called Flanagan who calming confessed to the on-air execution

Just seems like here in America we allow them to have guns because the NRA says it is their God given right and then when something like this happens ,their response is more guns and tells other Americans the government is coming for their guns.

Link to the NRA explaining their position that people with severe mental illness should have guns, please. TYIA

Europe would be glad to take you in, if you cannot stand the idea of gun ownership
