Stupid or inept people. Of course it would end with one or more groups having a higher than average number of refusals, so it would be deemed raciest and ended.

In addition to banning certain people, there should also be a mandatory set of courses and tests you have to pass and it should require a license. Basically it should be like driving a car. The tests could cover not only gun safety but other factors like dealing with a hostile situation responsibly.
 
4. ATOTers.

Why? Because typical ATOTers are bad ass, they do not need anything but by their dominance stance and deadly stare.
 
Honestly, anyone with a whiff of ISIS leanings shouldn't be able to have guns.

This guy was interviewed twice by the FBI. That alone should mean no firearms.
 
While it's easy to say he shouldn't have been allowed to purchase weapons since he was investigated by the FBI do our Constitutional Rights mean anything? The fact is nothing came of he investigations.

But what about that guy that shot and killed America's sniper?

You could argue that he jumped through all those hoops and was more prepared to own a gun then any of us.
 
Until you come up with a workable method to keep all these guns out of the wrong hands, your list is just wishful thinking. And you are only addressing firearms purchased legally. If our failed drug war, alcohol prohibition, music sharing, etc., is any example, people get what they want one way or another even if it's illegal. Someone willing to commit mass murder doesn't care if their weapon of choice is legal or not.

Dreaming of solutions that can only be implemented in an extremely oppressive, authoritarian society doesn't help anyone. America is vulnerable precisely because we are (ideally) a free society and only restrict those freedoms after they have been abused.

In the case of a criminal or mentally unstable person going on a shooting spree, we can and should look for symptoms and try to prevent the crime when possible. More often we are going to be stuck reacting to such crime.

I don't know about you folks, but if someone starts shooting at me in a situation like those poor folks in Florida, I'd rather be armed and trained to defend myself than disarmed and waiting to die like sheep.
 
Even if the 2nd Amendment was ripped right out of the Constitution, there are like how many guns per person in the U.S? 2?

Like the illegal drug trade, criminals won't abide by some bureaucrats dumb ass ideas.

But I digress. This dude was investigated since 2003 and a proper gun background check should red flag these people. It will never happen due to partisan politics and political correctness.
