            If we can’t hold those highly trained, screened and deemed “responsible,” accountable, how can we possibly hold jethro responsible?

 Well...duh. The fact that we are not properly enforcing laws that are already on the books is well known and a topic of much frustration amongst gun owners that do follow the rules. In other news, grass is green.Bentleyspop said:

 There’s nothing illegal about being wrong on the form. But it is illegal to intentionally lie. How do you prove someone lied when they claim “I just forgot?”
 Bit why even ask and rely on the individual to begin with, have a better system for a background check if we need to rely on felons being honest for it to work.0

 Having a gun in your house exponentially increases the occupants' odds of getting hurt or killed by a gun.
 When 34 injury prevention experts were asked to prioritize home injury hazards for young children, based on frequency, severity, and preventability of the injury, the experts rated access to firearms in the home as the most significant hazard.
 (Harvard gun expert David Hemenway)

 Cue: what about scotch mints? forks? icy driveways? clothing donation drop boxes?

            Also cue: that was suggested by some loser from Harvard... I live in the real world and in the real world- where I routinely spit tobacco down my shirt when I try to hit the dust- I know best 'cuz I'm a real smart feller.
