Gun control no longer a dormant issue - TheHill.com
The operative quote:
“A man our Army rejected as unfit for service; a man one of our colleges deemed too unstable for studies; a man apparently bent on violence was able to walk into a store and buy a gun,” Obama wrote Sunday in an op-ed in Tucson’s Arizona Daily Star.
“I’m willing to bet that responsible, law-abiding gun owners agree that we should be able to keep an irresponsible, law-breaking few — dangerous criminals and fugitives, for example — from getting their hands on a gun in the first place.”
The problem: Jared Lee Loughner did not break any laws. Being rejected by the military is not breaking the law. Surely being ..."deemed too unstable for studies;" by a college is not breaking a law. (Wouldn't that preclude all the females looking for their MRS?) The president is right I do want those "dangerous criminals and fugitives" with felony convictions to be refused gun ownership - absolutely. Not arrested, not suspicion, but convicted and time served.
