This sub-thread began because the Pohis rejected the reality that Rodger stabbed people. Nuclear Unicorn May 2014 #73
Yes a mentally ill person had EASY access to weapons of this sort...period...THAT should not happen VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #75
Two things. blueridge3210 May 2014 #81
No, the mentally ill should not have access to weapons. Nuclear Unicorn May 2014 #82

When it comes to guns, "on the street" is code for "what you can own". beevul May 2014 #35
You can own it.....but as soon as you try to use it....even at a race track...You ARE regulated! VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #50
No. Just no. beevul May 2014 #70
Yes...Just yes.... VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #71
