42. "Mainly gun nuts"

Tue Jul 12, 2016, 12:34 AM

Who else? What do you think about putting undercover police in every mosque in the US and arresting anyone who incites violence?

And what exactly are police looking for at gun ranges? I've been to a range where I've seen parents with their kids, law enforcement and people who are pretty clearly rank amateurs shooting. What makes one of these people more likely than the next to commit a mass shooting?

I think you are making these posts to simply get a rise out of people. What you propose is not only unworkable (and perhaps unconstitutional) but would be a massive, massive waste of resources. What exactly are you trying to prevent through this proposal? You aren't stopping the daily shootings and you aren't stopping the mass shootings. Did the San Bernardino shooters go to a range? What about Dylan Roof? Columbine? Fort Hood?
