I live in WI. And I'm sure a lot of responsible gun owners. A lot. But probably a few not so responsible. How do we solve this problem of guns getting to the irresponsible? More intelligent persons than I need to sit down and discuss this.
I myself am a little amazed that anything like guns or ammo can be bought online. That means any kid could buy the stuff online. Anyone, treated or most scary, not treated, for a mental illness could buy stuff online. And I do not equate buying 6000 rounds of ammo online to buying the latest best-seller from Amazon (that argument was seen on this board).

And I have not heard about people using cars intentionally as weapons of mass destruction, so I do not buy the "Why don't we ban cars then? People kill people with cars!" argument.
