tell me your thoughts

Why only AR-15 rifles?

It was an example.

lol gun store.

Troll much?
Handguns ARE semi-automatic guns, with 10+1 up to 17+1 auto load magazines in most cases.
Technically, so are auto loader shotguns..most of which are 5+1 shells.

Thank you!

😄👍🇺🇸 You beat me to it!

You have to be 21 to buy a handgun.

Not everywhere. In some states you only need to be 18 to buy hand guns or long guns.

My father brought guns to school for show and tell , His brother had a tommy gun legally
Guns that are now illegal to own could be purchased at surplus stores in the 40s
Guns were much easier to get then and more powerful but there was less crime.
so it aint the gun

Then what's the problem? If it's mental health, why isn't mental healthcare free?

nothing is free, someone has to pay for it

How should we solve mental health then?

In my dads day, when someone started getting out of line, the parents smacked the shit out of the kids, they didnt coddle them, that isnt 100% but the odds were better then.

Folks went to jail for doing crimes, there were not many "repeat offenders"

I know a guy, Ricky Plotts. He robbed a bank and got 80 yrs in jail, they let him out in 15
He told the parole brd "Do not let me out of jail, I will do more crime"
he wanted to stay in jail because they gave him his dope, 3 hots n a cot.

a year out of jail, he killed a poor girl named Teresa, MY Gf was pals with her.
she was a welfare worker at Fitzgerald mercy hosp, a real sweetheart.

Plotts wanted more dope from the dr (silverman), guidelines limited how many he can give
Ricky pulled a gun (he is never allowed to own one because hes a felon, got it on black market)
and put it to Teresa's head and killed her.
Dr Silverman hearing the shots pulled his gun and when ricky tried to shoot him (missed) Silverman shot ricky in the arm and he dropped the gun and the ordelys jumped on him..

now ricky is in jail for life or whatever, Had they kept him in jail for the 80 yrs he got for bank robbery, poor Teresa would be alive, had the parole board took ricky at his word that he will commit more crimes, Teresa would be alive.

why do we keep letting criminals out of jail?

I know rickys family very well.he should have never been let out of jail and ricky even said that

What about people who plan on suicide anyway? Like they plan on mass shooting and ending their lives after.

what can you do?

Work on making mental healthcare more accessible or at least make it harder to legally buy a gun. Of course, people will still buy them illegally but at least some angry person won't be able to go buy one as easily.
