[QUOTE="ASP785, post: 2086603, member: 12170"] Thank you for sharing your opinion! My personal opinion on all of the proposed legislation is that it will simply give people the [I]perception[/I] they are somehow more safe. I don't for one minute think any of the proposed legislation would stop violent crimes. If I am a criminal, the law is irrelevant to my behavior or I wouldn't be a criminal. With that being said, my wife works in the social services industry dealing with adults who are mentally ill and/or MR. Some of these 'clients' exhibit homicidal and suicidal tendencies that are well documented. They have to be redirected if they view a violent movie or video game. Currently, I am not sure whether these individuals are legally able to purchase a firearm. Considering they have documented issues with violence, they should probably not be allowed to purchase firearms. In the other cases you alluded to, you're right. How do you predict human behavior? You can't. It becomes a very slippery slope on the criteria the would prohibit someone from purchasing a firearm. If people were truly concerned with child safety, they might want to take a look at feeding them. Six million children die of hunger annually. Senseless. Where is the outrage and action to try and stop this? Then again wait a minute, the gun control issue is really not about safety or sanctity of life is it? [/QUOTE]
