    So all he could have done was check, "No" and he would have gotten one? This is ridiculous. Shouldn't an authority be screening instead of this stupid self evaluation system? It's like at the DMV where they ask for your height. I could be 5'5 and put 5'11 and that would be on my drivers license. This is what I mean when I always say how broken our systems are and how easily it is to fix them with "no duh" solutions that is transparent to the general public but they never get addressed. In other countries, once something is ID'd as broken it is almost immediately fixed like in most things in Germany and Switzerland.

      To quote a guy above us in the comments he was basically screwed no matter what he checked..."Because that is only one part of the process. If he had checked "no", then the application would have been forwarded to the FBI screening process, at which point it would have been revealed anyway and he still would have been denied."

      Many ppl harbor a lot of hate in their hearts. Many not able to handle rejection. Still a lot grow up with a sense of entitlement. It’s their feelings of rejection, suppressed anger and hate causes to be led by demonic forces to carry out such acts. At the same time, many ppl struggle with undiagnosed mental illness as children. The parents claims that they don’t desire their child to be labeled. So they ignore the warning signs n not get help for their child who is suffering. Hey I’ve seen it now a retired teacher. I taught special education for most of my career. But have had the opportunity to teach general education as well. Yes I saw a few students struggling with mental issues. Bring it to the parents attention, most times nothing gets done. By the time it’s checked, it’s too late. Once the child reaches 18 years old there in really nothing a parent can do now. One has to leave it to the Lord n allow Him to intervene. If you not a praying parent, then I don’t know what else to say to you. Cuz alot of these future mass shooters can be prevented as much as possible, if parents pay attention to their children n don’t ignore the warning signs that something is wrong with your child. We got to train our children right. Don’t think alot of the things they do which you know is wrong, don’t condone it or laugh at it, correct it! We can prevent so much of this happening. Remember children are the product of their environment. It’s where they begin that determines the outcome of their lives. If as a parent you’ve done your job n your child acts a fool in society, don’t blame yourself, they can also be influenced by the environment. At the same time, the values n prayers instilled in them will make a difference. My condolences to the families of the tragic loss of lives.

    There is no such thing as a silencer. What Card tried to purchase is a suppressor.
    If people want to do something about gun violence in this country, maybe they should actually learn something about guns first.

      @@moggpiano8043 it’s not about using the wrong word. It’s about purposely instilling a sense of fear into the public so they support legislation based of feelings rather than facts. A suppressed rifle is still loud enough to damage hearing. It’s absolutely nothing like a “silencer” shown in the movies, and does nothing to alter it’s accuracy or effectiveness.
      I’m all for common sense reform. However, if someone is pushing for bills to be passed, I’d expect them to at least be knowledgeable on the subject of the bill. The “assault weapon bans” that have been proposed in recent years classify weapons based on cosmetic characteristics rather than function. That’s not common sense. A bill not based on facts will never get enough votes to be passed.
      Or, like I said, maybe they could enforce the laws we already have in place that could have stopped this shooting from happening. The authorities had the warnings and enough evidence to lawfully confiscate Card’s firearms two months ago… but they didn’t even start the process because he wasn’t home when they knocked and they gave up. If the current laws designed to prevent this weren’t followed, what makes you think new ones will be?

      The people who are the loudest about gun control are the ones who know the least about guns.
      The unenforced gun laws we already have could reduce nearly all of these incidents as well as the gang violence that makes up most of the homicides in this country. The narrative seems to be ignoring the laws we already have in favor of new, less effective laws with no viable enforcement strategy.
      I want change, but it seems like the loudest voices are ignoring data and facts in favor of emotion and popularity.

    @Freedom-Fading-Away 8 місяців тому +1

    Adding a supressor can make a gun less deadly too. You don't know and I'm not 100% sure, but the ammunition needs to be less velocity and the component adds weight to the end of the barrel (that's where the bullets come out). So this makes the weapon more cumbersome, easier to see, and less energy potential. Just know that handguns also shoot bullets, rifles aren't special.

    • @vinceabbott5438
      @vinceabbott5438 8 місяців тому

      not exactly, inside the supressor theres less air resistance so there is potental to gain a little velocity but the difference is negligable, also depends on what kind of ammo is being used, subsonic rounds arent as effective but i doubt thats what he was using

    as if the silencer would have had any impact on the outcome... get real. A silencer/suppressor on a 308 would have knocked the 170 decibels down to maybe 150 which will still cause hearing damage if w/o ear protection... and still as loud as a 9mm.
