Sandy Hook just wont rest.

Why stop at children? Humans between the ages of 14 and 23 are at their most dangerous. Why? It probably has something to do with the fact that they're also starting to have sex. Mother nature is cooking up a mix of various hormones at that age and it can be combustible. Sex and violence go hand in hand in nature, and we're not exempt.

It's because the prefrontal cortex hasn't finished developing until age 25.

I find any person who doesn't support the securing of firearms in the presence of children disturbingly irresponsible. I support amending the 2nd Amendment to require gun owners to restrict access to their weapons to prevent unnecessary gun violence in much the same manner that the 21st Amendment nullified the 18th.

I'd go even further and say that all magazines in excess of 20 rounds should be required to have a serial number with a chain of custody that must be reported to the ATF upon sale of said magazine with fines if an owner fails to comply. All personal sales or transfers of guns should have to be reported to the ATF so they can keep track of the new owners. I love guns myself but too many of them are falling into the hands of criminals and we have to close up the loopholes that allow for access them.

That's a state by state thing now, CO requires all gun sales new and used have a background check, with the SN of the weapon as part of the data they collect.

There are millions and millions of unserialized high capacity magazines in the hands of owners already, dunno how a magazine registry could work. CO has a high capacity ban on magazines >15 rounds, and law enforcement says it's essentially unenforceable.

Under the current political climate, I don't see any new restrictions coming, in fact, if there are any, Trump will never win re-election.

The big push now is the HPA Hearing Protection Act, and we hope to make silencers more readily available. In many parts of the world, stores carry them in blister packs, Hollywood is wrong, they're far from "silent" and if you use a gun for self protection in a house, you cause permanent hearing damage.

Pro gun advocates are asking for a national concealed carry reciprocity law.

You know, because of that, I'd really like to see the "try them as an adult" mindset go away, they literally don't think in a logical fashion (some do, but most don't). There is the occasional sociopath/psychopath, but a good psych eval can usually pick them out.

I'd wager that those are the very same people who contribute to Inforwars to keep the message going and believe that Before It's News is a legitimate source of news. Next they'll proclaim that the movie Arrival is really a true story documentary and that the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man is a defender of their freedoms. Same goes for the Boston Marathon bombing where conspiracy theories abounded about a government plot with scary boogie men staged all around the place Sandy Hook was a NRA wake up call that gun owners resist as they refuse to accept responsibility for an assault rifle owner who didn't have their rifle secured allowing a deranged teenager to access and use it against innocent people. I wonder how long it will take Trump to hinder the White House Press Corps once he takes office?

We had one of those Boston Bombing deniers on this very forum a few years ago.
I had to point out at the time I knew 3 people who were close to the blasts, they were in fact bombs.

I seriously seriously doubt this. Honestly, I would label myself a psychopath and no one has ever figured me out, unless I show my true self. IMHO, you probably only hear about psychopaths because the people deemed "suffering" from psychopathy are those that have been diagnosed in a correctional facility (these people have nothing but time on their hand so they say whatever). Unfortunately, no free man will go on record as one in real life because there is too much of a stigma attached to it. Hence, labelling those already caught, tried and convicted as "dangerous, cunning, evil, etc..." is a foregone conclusion that is no different from diagnosing any other group of individuals serving time. Therefore, experts and the public have an extremely skewed view of what a psychopath truly is. In truth, we're no different from most people. What sets us apart is a need to control everything around us, including ourselves (making us the perfect/ultimate man). That need for control leads the psychopath to be completely aware of who s/he is, in addition to everyone around them. We are always aware, always conscious of everything, including the emotions of others. This, naturally, allows for a lot of manipulation. It makes us extremely successful in groups. Those that are incarcerated probably had some other problems in life, including bad parenting. One downside to this need for control is blaming others for what we have done to them. Why? Because, once you are in control and aware of who you are and what you're doing, it's very difficult to blame yourself for anything. Control and mistakes are mutually exclusive to the psychopath. So, no one is going to "easily" pick us out. If anything, we come across as the most likable people in the group when we're most likely the most predatory.

More proof that gun owners are not being as responsible as they should be.

I have mixed feelings on this and I believe that the requirements should be more stringent with a mandatory series of classes instead of what passes now for gun safety training unless you are prior law enforcement with no history of abuse of powers.
