Got a speeding ticket? No rifle. Got a DUI 30 years ago? No rifle. Hell my father has been sober for over 15 years, but due to having 3 DUIs, the most recent of which was 1977, he was nearly denied the right to purchase a pistol. He had to appeal the decision and attend an official hearing to get it overturned.
    so, they wouldn't give a gun to a person who has exhibited a blatant disregard for human life, not just once, but 3 times (when he was caught)...

    how is that bad?

    I don't think that all (or even most) guns should be banned, but whats the rational for owning guns that have such a large fire rate? It takes a single bullet to kill someone: I'm honestly confused what situation an average citizen could encounter where a handgun would be inadequate.
    Does it really matter what gun he had? How many bullets it holds? What if he'd used a bomb? The worst school massacre in US history was done with dynamite, almost 100 years ago; and we did nothing, hell, hardly reported it. Previous posters have hit the nail on the head. The media is to blame.

    Gun has a 50 bullet magazine? So he gets two guns with 25 bullet magazines. Or learns to reload quickly. If you're killing a bunch of schoolchildren its not like you have to worry about being overpowered mid load.

    Actually, a single gunshot anywhere within 80% of your body (the 80% that isn't brain, heart, lungs, kidneys, or major arteries that run to or from those organs) has an insanely high survival rate assuming you get medical attention within an hour of it occurring. Back when 50 Cent was first being hyped they kept pointing out how he was a superman for taking 9 shots, but not one of those was in an area that could have been fatal for any reason beyond blood loss, which would have required him to not seek any medical attention. By that logic, why do policemen need anything beyond a single shot pistol? Why do soldiers need anything more than an 8-15 round pistol? I mean, it only takes one bullet so a single soldier could kill 15 people. The simple fact is, bullets miss. A lot. Not everyone is going to stop from a warning shot, not everyone is going to stop from taking a non-fatal hit. There's plenty of accounts of people on PCP and the like taking shots from police and continuing to advance like a zombie, completely ignoring the fact they have a large lead slug implanted in their body. Most robberies/home invasions aren't perpetrated by a single person. So let's say three people break into a home, the homeowner is trained with their firearm but isn't that great when it comes to marksmanship, so let's say they only hit a perfect bullseye 1/5 shots. It's going to take him a minimum of 15 shots to land 1 shot on each invader, of which the probability of them dying, as illustrated previously in the post, is low enough to effectively be classed as 0. And contrary to what Hollywood and the video game industry tells you, no one is trained to take headshots. They teach you to shoot center-mass, because 90% of that 20% lethal zone, is in the abdominal cavity. Even hunters are taught to go for the heart and lungs, due to their size in comparison to the brain.

    How is the fact that he hasn't had a drink since 1995, and hasn't driven drunk since 1977 bad? Should we judge everyone by their past? Because by that logic literally everything you use technologically shouldn't be available to anyone. Computers, the internet, space travel, all those things started with the government, and most of the tech we have today originated from NASA post-World War II, by former Nazi scientists, war criminals responsible for some of the biggest atrocities in the history of the world.

    If you believe that restricting firearms with normal capacity magazines, not reduced capacity and limiting their availability will affect any sort of change in America you are WRONG.

    It is despicable that you liberals and Europeans call for greater regulation because you would rather not be responsible for your own safety. You've been conditioned to be dependent, that accepting social programs rather than hard work is morally sound. You've been conditioned to believe you are entitled, that you are somehow 'above average' and that if you 'believe in yourself enough' nothing is impossible, which is far from reality for most. You don't believe in keeping score at children's sporting events because 'everyone is a winner.' You've been conditioned to believe that inanimate objects are things to be feared. You've been conditioned to believe that atrocity on a mass scale could not possibly happen again in a first world nation. You CELEBRATE MEDIOCRITY. You believe your government is your friend and can be trusted with your safety as well as your money.

    You believe that gun control works despite every statistic coming out of Alex Jones mouth is FACT.

    You believe that saving 10 or 100 is better than saving millions. Oh you liberals forget your history so quickly.

    You believe that guns don't save peoples lives every day without anyone dying.

    There are more good people in this world than bad, and the more firearms in the hands of the good people will prevent atrocity large and small and collectively make everyone safer and more free.

    Nothing anyone can say will sway my belief that firearms are tools of freedom when used by good people and tools of oppression in the hands of the evil.

    The United States Constitution is shackles upon a beast. Every freedom we relinquish weakens the bonds. The 2nd Amendment is the single most important element of the Constitution. However it is forgotten easily because it is one that is rarely needed.

    He had total disregard for human life, it shows he has a history of such and shouldn't be trusted to have a gun.

    How does this in any way relate to people inventing things under heavy supervision? You're arguments are invalid because you're trying to compare apples to oranges.

    EDIT: I'm from Canada we have strict gun laws and less gun violence. 'sup? You American's should really make it harder to gain guns, that's all most people ask of you.

    How does making mistakes as a teenager equate to a "total disregard of human life"? You expect us to believe you've never made a mistake or done something you regret? Or are you still a teenager and think you know everything despite a total lack of life experience? If people were held accountable for every little thing they did over the course of their entire life, for their entire life, not a single person in the world would be free.

    People would be free because then there would be less "Oh you did a bad thing /patontheback it's ok we forgive you, here go do it again!".

    And no I haven't made any legal mistakes in my life time because I'm a law abiding citizen, as everyone should be, but because not everyone is THERE NEEDS TO BE RULES AND REGULATIONS.

    That's your common sense for the day.

    Nearly good enough for my signature.

    You're so full of shit you should change your name to "Porta-John". Nobody is perfect, nobody has never broken a single law in their life. Maybe you didn't get caught, but the idea that you're a 100% law-abiding citizen is ridiculous.

    EDIT: Let me guess, you've paid for every single mp3 and video file on your computer right?

    So, MP3s and Videos kill people now? That's your argument? Who's full of what now? Not everyone has put a human's life in danger. Have some? Yes. Were they mistakes? Yes. Should they be punished for said mistake? Yes.

    You sound like the crazy guy in the video. Shout louder, someone will hear you.

    If he'd plowed through an intersection and mowed down a 5 yr old child, how would your opinion differ? He got drunk and made a conscious decision to drive a car on numerous occasions (It would be pretty awful luck if he just happened to get caught on the sole 3 occasions that he decided to drive, don't you think?). He acted irresponsibly even after having been caught, not just once but twice. If he was driving whilst drunk as a teenager, does that not also indicate that he was drinking underage? Sounds very responsible.

    Yes kids do dumb shit, but I can't say that I ever did anything dumb enough where the death of another could have been the outcome. Did I drink underage? of course, I'm a Brit, but I didn't endanger anyone but myself when doing so.

    I also find it astounding how "normal" DUI's are in the states, like it isn't a big deal. But that's another debate for another time

    Yeah....I'm really going to listen to this tinfoil hat wearing degenerate. According to A.J. the government created an infux of gay people by putting Estrogen and MSG into children's juice boxes. Talking fast like a drug addict and simply prefacing stupid statements with "I have the government documents" does not count as proof in my book.

    So losing his license for 5 years, paying ridiculous fees, forced attendance of meetings (which he also had to pay for despite being mandatory), and losing contact with the children from his first marriage wasn't punishment enough? Tell me, what would be sufficient punishment?

    I would start by wondering why there was an unattended 5 year old in an intersection at 3:00 AM.

    Did he marry at 12? Your story is so full of holes, it's funny.

    Does it matter if it was a 5 yr old or a 40 yr old? It's still a human life.

    He should also lose of privileges that could lead to harming another person. That many DUI's shows entire disregard for other people, thus IMO he shouldn't have a license ever. Showed irresponsibility on multiple occasions which should then lead him to not being allowed to have a weapon.

    Also, teenager's mistakes, losing contact of his children (Plural) from his first marriage... as a teenager. The irresponsibility is adding up quite fast. I don't think you should be the spokesperson for your father because either you are a chronic liar or you're painting a poor picture of your father.

    Could that child not be in a car? Could a family not be travelling? Etc. Etc. Etc..
