Agreed, but how many days after his birthday did he do the shooting? Would he still of had time if the process was longer? Would he still of been unstable if he had to be 21?True, however there is this bizarre new culture and glorification that has been built around the AR style rifles that seems to draw these lunatics into using them for horrible acts. I hate to say it but I'm not real sure the average joe needs to be able to walk into a sporting goods store and buy one of these the same day. For lawful gun owners and enthusiasts who appreciate these rifles, I want them to be able to purchase and shoot them, but I would like to see a more thorough and longer process in place to weed out the impulsive and mentally ill individuals. The fact that the shooter in Texas went in the day after his 18th birthday and bought one is pretty troubling to me.
I am as sick of this as anyone on here. But making new gun laws to solve this isn’t going to help the root of the problem. We are very effective at killing people no matter what the tool is. Regulating tools to prevent it only shifts the tool that is used next time.
