Sounds like a good start to me.

18th century French philosopher Cesare Beccaria wrote a great piece “On Crimes and Punishment”, I remember it because one of my professors told us about being selected by the Kentucky governor to serve on a penal reform commission based solely on him parroting different themes proposed by Beccaria. Our criminal justice system is so flawed it’s pathetic. One of the things set forth by Beccaria was that crime is not deterred by the severity of punishment but rather its certainty. Compare that to the “catch and release” mindset so common today.

How can we stop the murder of our children!

"Have you EVER been diagnosed by a physician or other health professional (for example, a psychiatrist, psychologist, licensed clinical social worker, or nurse practitioner) with psychotic disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, delusional disorder, bipolar mood disorder, borderline personality disorder, or antisocial personality disorder?"


Now this question is asked on the SF86 National Security Check, why not on a Background check to buy a weapon. With 37 years working for the government and the majority of the time I held a TS clearance with CNWDI access. I have no problem being put under a microscope to have access to anything.

Quit blaming the gun and start blaming the person. I have been around and shot guns several times in my life. I have NEVER aimed a gun at person, empty or loaded.

Eddie, gunners have no answer to that question. the thing they used to say was a good guy with a gun....... That is trash after Parkland, Uvalde etc....

When the good guys were pissin in their pants, cause it wasnt an unarmed guy they could abuse.

Oh thats right guns do protect us. From the pisssie cops.

You missed something, never blamed guns. My point is to deny individuals with identified mental illness access to weapons.

Eddie, I totally agree that there are people with issues that should not have guns. When someone is shot and killed, the media blames the gun and not the person.

Yet, if a murderous religious fanatic, crashes a jet aircraft into a building, drives a truck into a crowd of innocent citizens, or cuts the heads off people that they abducted, the blame is on the person, not the vehicle, weapon, or the group they are representing. Weird huh?

We are ALL in the same boat!!
1John 1:9 says" if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." What more can we ask for?
