[quote=afx114]Where did I say owning a gun is a bad thing? I said that mentally disturbed people with a history of erratic behavior owning a gun is a bad thing. Big difference. Are you taking the position that it is a good thing that Jared Lee Loughner was able to purchase a firearm with no questions asked?[/quote]
Afx: I’m not up on Arizona laws regarding firearm purchasing and ownership, but I’m pretty sure that they have to comply with federal regulations, specifically BATF Form 4473, which does have a section on mental health. Yeah, I do understand that simply answering “No” when “Yes” is the correct answer won’t stop the Loughners of the world, but “no questions asked” isn’t correct, either.
