With firearms, all you need to do is pass a simple criminal background check. No one checks with your doctors, or checks what kind of medications you are on, no one checks to see if you have suffered from depression, and no one checks to see if you have had any issues with local police or any history of violence.... No problem, anyone can get a firearm.

Let me rephrase my above statement... In Mantecca, California, there is a 49 year old man with multiple health problems, partial retardation (mentally he is a sixteen year old), is on lots of medication, and for the past twenty years has been suffering from depression. He is fully armed in handguns and an AR15. And there is not a god damn thing anyone can do about it.
