This likely shouldn’t be dignified with a response, but considering it has infiltrated my Facebook newsfeed like no other, I cannot help myself! I wish I could wrap my brain around WHY people are opposed to stricter gun laws? I’m not that educated on the subject, but it only makes sense not to put a deadly weapon in the hands of someone who is very obviously mentally ill. We don’t go giving cars to just anyone, so why are we handing out guns to the good, the bad, and the ugly?
Handing guns over to dangerous people is like handing a set of keys to the guy who stuck around for last call at the bar. You don’t do it. And if you do, people get pissed. And rightly so. So, why then, is it the least bit rational to give a DEADLY WEAPON to an individual who’s been banned from his local Community College until he can present that college with a certificate of sound Mental Health that says he is not a threat? Should that certificate not be presented when purchasing a firearm?
I think I have too many rednecks on my Facebook. Such is my fate for coming from a one-stoplight town in Southern Indiana.
