No, there are plenty of legal uses for guns, such as competition shooting and self defense. Sorry that you are a paranoid schizophrenic. A psychiatrist can help you with that.
If there are any "gun nuts" it would be you and people like you. You are utterly ridiculous.
Maybe he stabs the boyfriend, maybe he beats him to death . . . Absolutely pointless, is what you are.
There are ALREADY background checks. What is WRONG with you?
Background checks that apparently said a guy who thought he was the fucking Joker could have a machine gun... are totally inadequate.
We have 32,000 gun deaths a year. That's what's ridiculous.
There was no information on him because the mental health professionals didn't do their job.
And the idea that you can tell someone is crazy by having them fill out a form shows that you know as much about this as you do about what constitutes a "machinegun".

There was no information on him because no one bothered to look for it.
When someone did, namely the media, yup, everyone in his life, including HIS MOTHER, said he was crazy.

You cannot be this dense. If nobody documented it and it wasn't put into the system, then there is no way no one could know! Please! Try to use your brain for once!
And MANY more people have defended themselves using a firearm.

Again, the media was able to find out that he was as crazy as batshit within hours of the shooting.
Hours.
The information was there. Nobody looked for it.

Not really. When you estimate something with a range of 65,000 to 5 million, but can only document 200 deaths in self-defense, that becomes kind of dubious.
Wouldn't want the women to be able to protect themselves, would you?
a gun in the home is 43 times more likely to kill a family member than a bad guy. I knew a lady who bought a gun for protection and had to bury her teenage son after he shot himself with it.
I know you don't consider this a big deal, but she did.
Oh, and the NRA doesn't sell women guns. They just make sure gov't worshipping wimps like you don't take away their right to own one. And they provide more firearm training than anyone in the nation except the military. So those women who were unable to use their gun, didn't store it properly, or did something stupid with it could certainly use the NRA courses.
The NRA are shills for the gun industry and their desire to make sure every lunatic can get a gun, so everyone else will want one.
Wasn't always that way. Back in the 1960's, they helped draft gun control laws after we had riots and assassinations.
It's not 65,000 to 5 million, as you've been told DOZENS of times. It is 500,000 to 2.5 million. Get your facts straight.
No, the information was not there. The media found out through other sources, like the police reports, etc. Not only that, but there is a little thing called doctor/patient confidentiality. If you really want to "blame" someone, blame that nut's psychiatrist for not locking him up.

Depends entirely which source you cite. The problem is, the standard is completely subjective. I find even the 65,000 figure rather implausible just by virtue of the fact that the one thing you can quantify- perpertrators killed by civilians in justified homicides - is pretty low- about 200 a year according to the FBI.
So even using the low 65K number, you'd have to believe that the bad guys got out of a deadly force situation 99.7% of the time. You'd have to believe that thousands of murderous, drug addled thugs are intimidated by someone holding a gun in a shaking hand.

No, I blame the gun industry for making guns so accessible that someone as disturbed as Holmes had no problem getting one. Could we do mental health better? Yes. If Republicans were willing to spend more and Democrats weren't so hung up on hurting the feelings of the mentally ill, we could. But until we do, letting them walk into a gun store and buy a gun designed to fight the Vietnam War is a pretty stupid idea, don't you think.

Anyone who would think of buying a gun at all is nuts.
The best argument for gun control is to let the gun nuts talk.
That aside. Guy finds out his wife is cheating on him. He goes out, buys a gun, shoots her boyfriend.
Or he is forced to wait a week, maybe he works it out, maybe he sees a divorce lawyer, maybe he realized the bitch was no good to start with.
But in the immortal words of Homer Simpson... "Waiting period? I'm mad now!"
It isn't that many, Joe. Out of 320,000,000 people, 2.5 million (the high end) is less than 1% of the entire population, and the figures I quoted also include crimes that were not necessarily reported.
All they had to do aS submit the data like they were supposed to do.
Everyone came out after, but no one said a word before. Send the mother & all those who sat idly by to prison.
you just make this crap up.

His mother and his doctors weren't the ones who gave him a machine gun.
Holmes without a machine gun is harmless.
Holmes with a machine gun kills or wounds 82 people.
And put a gun dealer in jail, the next one WILL call his mom.

11,000 gun homicides a year. I wish I was making this shit up.

Put some mental health professional in jail for dereliction of duty and the next one will report his crazy patient to the database. There is no way a dealer is derelict. He got the approval of the federal government.
And what percentage of those homicides were committed by legal gun owners?
