And, as I've said before, tell me how you will get guns away from the crazies without violating the 2A and I'm all for it.I mean...why assume she didn't have the proper permit to carry a gun? Is this you after-the-fact labeling her an "irresponsible gun owner" because well yeah: "Obviously she is! She should have never had a gun! Neither her husband! It's so plainly obvious!" You must be a Trillionaire with this uncanny ability to predict the past based on the present, and apply it to some known future....
Besides that, what fucking difference would it make if she had the permit or not? Regardless, it would not have magically prevented her from carrying the gun into the car and murdering her husband after attempting to murder someone else for no reason. ...oh wait, I know the answer--it only makes a difference in your mind because you need that to justify your categorizing of individuals after they go and do their murders, because it makes some sense in some sort of policy that you will absolutely never want to see imposed.
This is exactly what I am talking about when I say all we do is argue in circles with these debates. And very few people want to say "total ban" because they know there is no way to actually achieve it. At best, you will get guns away from the majority of the law-abiding who aren't doing the murdering.
And, even that, you have no majority will to achieve in this representative democracy of a country. We have lots and lots of laws already making murder illegal in this country. What possible plan do you have that will actually accomplish a reduction in gun violence without stomping on the constitutional rights of law abiding gun owners?
