Ed, I didn't say any firearm was banned, I ask if that's what you wanted. I already know about the tax stamp for full autos and suppressers. Only you make some conclusions. I'm a NRA life member, served in the military during the Vietnam war, and didn't do it to see my 2 Amendment rights taken away piece by piece.

....is it as some have suggested: that tolerating mass murder with firearms, is the price we all pay, to protect our second amendment rights?....
....by now you should have figured out that personal attacks just weaken any argument you might advance...
try rational thought and discussion of alternative ideas.... I wonder if there can be civil discourse about why folks like you are susceptible to sensational ideological headlines? Shouldn't all violent crime be not only illegal, but unacceptable? You can quantify it if you want, the bigger the scoop of illegal, the more unacceptable? Can there be civil discourse about disclosing your true agenda, or does that require overlooking because of some claim to be on the high road?

Random question, would you be concerned if someone you knew had firearms and was suffering from depression ? I realise there are many different levels of depression and other related conditions so wondered if a line should be drawn where a person who may have problems with society or suicidal thoughts should have their permission or right to own guns revoked ? It's not uncommon on this side of the pond for shotgun or firearms cert holders to hand in their guns (maybe into storage by a firearms dealer) or in extreme cases, the police may confiscate them if mental health issues come to light. (There are many other reasons here too but going into all that would just muddy the water and go off topic) Are there any similar conditions in the States ?

Ed, is it a personal attack to call you an idiot when I have repeatedly posted information about the incontrovertible connection between SSRI anti-depressant drugs, and mass homicides... and you simply ignore it and continue to call for law abiding citizens to give up their rights?
Do you ever stop to consider how the Liberal Left Democrats you support continue to exploit these shootings while they totally ignore the carnage and deaths caused by their policies of Parole, Catch-and-Release of illegals, and refusal to build a border wall that would inhibit the flow of illegal narcotics and violent illegal aliens?
They don't care about saving lives, and you know it. They only wish to slowly eliminate the 2nd Amendment Rights of law abiding citizens, and you are there to help them. I'm not sure why I should answer any more idiotic questions from you when you refuse to answer the questions I pose. And do you think referring to me as "keet" does anything to make you look less idiotic?
And what could be more foolish than rolling over and giving up our freedoms when doing so would be totally ineffective against these shooters and killers who have no criminal history to prevent them from buying guns, gasoline, or tractor trailers, or the box cutters they used to kill almost 3000 souls on 9-11?
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

nick: since 1968, federal law here prohibits possession of firearms by those who have documented mental issues...law enforcement here do confiscate firearms from those with documented mental issues... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_Control_Act_of_1968

There was something about if a senior citizen had his retirement check [ SS ] deposited in a bank account and the bank paid his bills he was considered mentally unfit and couldn't own a firearm. Someone will correct me if some of what I said was wrong, but you get the gist of it. So, we should allow the same government to decide who has mental health issue's. Oh yea, you bet. That would open up a whole new worm hole.
