68. Ignore is also the domain of people who don't like insulting garbage.

And your last post was very much in that category.

As to your argument, it is based entirely on a logical fallacy, unless you honestly think there is no middle ground between "doing nothing when a teen threatens somebody with bodily harm" and "locking any such person away in a cell to be submitted to testing."

And can I say more robust laws could have, for certain, not prevented the shooting? No, I can't, because I don't deal in absolutes when it comes to hypothetical situations. But do I think the laws you're proposing would have had a high probability of preventing it? No, I don't. An apparently intelligent and determined young man would have had little difficulty in coming up with a reason for wishing to purchase a firearm that didn't involve a crime. And that's assuming that a law requiring an answer to that question would survive the constitutional challenge it would face.
