I would agree with you if firearms license was akin to aircraft pilot licensing - for which you need frequent medical certification, where in the case of firearms license you would need continuing mental certification. Unfortunately in the US, such requirement just ain't gonna fly.

Well thats the thing, there is not a real restriction in the US, aside from being a felon.
Any nut case whack job can by a gun, almost anywhere.

Of-course we cannot ask the gun sellers to be psychiatrist, thats not gonna work. However one Wall*Mart did refuse to sell Longher bullets <-- so theres something to that.

As for the woman who killed her teens, she was on a court ordered anger management classes <- that is when she should have been place on a no gun list. When the courts get involved thats a no brainer to me.

Its not the end all solution but it is a step in the right direction.

Consider that in many other countries you can buy a gun - just that they are really more restrictive than the US. You still keep your right to own a gun. H3ll we even test for a driver license because it is a 2 ton weapon - do we test anyone for a gun license ? ?

And my question would be where did that salesperson/manager get their psychology degree, what are their qualifications to judge someones sanity?

An old friend of mine got his speeding ticket thrown out of court because the officer had added a comment to the ticket "the driver was driving at an insane speed". The officer was asked what qualifications he had to judge the sanity of my friend, and as it turned out he didn't have any. The judge dismissed the ticket, and warned my friend not to appear before him ever again on related charges.

Hence why I said above when the courts get involved.
Like I mentioned that the woman was ordered by the courts, to attend anger management classes <-- I said that for like 8 times already ? ?

Well if the cop said your friend was driving at 90 mph and could prove it - your friend would have a ticket to deal with.

I cannot believe a cop would not have any proof and then stand there in front of a judge and say - ahhhhhh duuuude he was driving insaneling fast, hey dude judge, ya know what I mean like he was going like insanely fast. <-- Gheees
