    Other countries have mentally ill people, and they don't have mass shootings. The gun control "debate" is impossibly dumb. Why don't other countries have crazy people shooting up churches and schools and concerts with AR-15s? Because their citizens can't buy AR-15s.

    I'm sure he bought it person-to-person instead of through a licensed firearms dealer that would have run a background check on him.

    I guess the people who sell deck building materials don't have a powerful enough lobby.

    Apparently not. He just lied on the required form.

    Yeah, just read that. Great system we've got where folks can just lie on the background check form and it not be caught.

    Those stories are all close to a decade old and none of them mentions an AR-15, just some pistols.
