When mark David Chapman became obsessed with impressing Jodie Foster, he, at first, decided to kill George C. Scott on stage during a play in which he was performing in New York. He bought a revolver, and flew to New York, only to find that it was against the law for anyone to sell him ammo. He returned home. Later, he decided to kill John Lennon. This time, he flew to Atlanta, where ammo sales were legal, then on to New York, where he gunned down John Lennon.
After he plead guilty, his father asked him if there was anything anyone could have done to stop him from doing that. his reply was that if buying a gun and ammo had been a little more complicated, if he had had to go through a waiting period first, if he had to apply for a permit, or if they refused to sell to a person undergoing, or a history of psychiatric care, he probably would not have done it.
