They said the guy had well documented mental problems so he had to have lied on the background check when that (not an M4) AR was purchased.
We’ve had this conversation before, I still would not mind the background check system being linked to mental health records to prevent a mentally ill nut get his hands on a weapon. They will lie about that shit with no hesitation. Link the system so a flag comes up for a documented mentally ill person, the purchase goes to an extended review process that takes more time, a much more stringent review takes place, including looking at social media posts and juvenile records and if the guy lied on the form he goes straight to jail.
Would only stop them from getting legal weapons, but it would be a decent way to shut up all the morons who cry about “legally purchased weapons” when they have no idea wtf they are talking about..
Or just don’t sell guns to democrats
