Retired Gen. Stanley McChrystal calls for 'serious' gun control measures, says military-style guns..

64. When I purchased my SKS

it was $200 and sold at Roses. An AR-15 started at about $2000 at the time. Which would have been easier for a criminal to get?

The SKS was a precursor to the AK. Does that make me a non-law abiding citizen for having owned it? Does it make me care less for my children? As I said, you made very broad blanket statements about a group of people.

Blaming psychopaths is NOT a cop out. Not realizing that we need to start having people evaluated IS a cop out. It would cost money to do that, which would come out of the tax payers pocket. Then again, I would be willing to pay a bit extra in taxes to ensure that more school kids are not slaughtered, or husbands don't beat their wives, etc..

My only beef with you is that you lumped everyone who may own a military style weapon into the psychopathic criminal group.

Do I think that anyone should be able to own them? No, not without some serious checking into their mental state. Do I think that they should be completely banned? No. As stated earlier, we need far better mental health evaluations (sometimes mandatory) in this country before the legal purchase of certain items.
