Most of the holes we created ourselves. All his– and those of the thousands more like him or worse — juvenile records would be sealed because we are more interested in his future than those he endangers. People are even talking about wiping the criminal records of convicted felons because it’s harder for them to find jobs if employers know the evil they have done.

Yep, he’s evil and we’re crazy.

Not only were seventeen people killed but the families will have to live with this for the rest of their life. I have lost loved ones and friends, I know their pain. There is nothing that can be done to bring them back, nothing. This tragedy like so many others before should remind all of us of how short and precious life is and how easy it is to be lost. May God have mercy on all. Now I have to move to a different tone and ask all of you the following: How is gun control going to stop this? It will not. Man (and woman) are the most dangerous creatures on earth, they kill for what ever the reason. Not like an animal that kills for food to survive. It should be quite evident or there would no need for prisons. If there were no guns available to anyone today anywhere in the world, there would still be murders of innocent human beings. Before guns, mankind murdered by whatever means he could only just more savagely. People all over are screaming for all types of control of all types of weapons but they are pleading to the very politicians who have screwed the system up to start with. Show me an honest politician that has never been bought or influenced by some means. There are none. No ban will save anyones life if the intent is there to take life. If the original people of this land we live, the Native Americans, had owned modern day bow and arrows they would still own it. Without firing a shot. So if there is anyone out there that believes that banning a firearm will protect you from violence or someone intent on killing you or your family or a criminal will obey the law, you really need help. If you don't like or agree with the Bill of Rights, the Second Amendment or the Constitution of the United States of America, then I suggest you give up your freedoms and citizenship and move. Try China, Russia, North Korea, Pakistan, Somalia, Libya, the list goes on and on. They and many more have really great civil rights policies. Now for the shooter, the person that has committed this unforgivable act, put him through the court system and if found guilty, take him out front of the courthouse and hang him until dead. Don't shoot him, electrocute him, put him in the gas chamber or give him a lethal injection, just hang him. For everyone to see and for everyone to know that if you intentionally comment an act of violence against innocent human beings, be it one or any number, this is what will happen should you be found guilty. We have the right to bare arms because we are Americans. If you disagree that it is your right to your opinion just as I have expressed my opinion. First & foremost, this is was a horrible event.

It is extremely foolish to believe that checks from private party sales will impact shootings whatsoever. However, I would be amenable to tighter (temporary) gun laws. Only when after a time, they are shown to be ineffective, that gun rights then be expanded. That is the deal I would make. Not that it matters much. By 2040, 70% of people are expected to live in just 15 states. That kind of urbanization will be bad for the rest of us. It already is from the shooting with only you yuppies being broadcasted. @Grand Locust, I have been continuously reviewing where I stand.

My southern family has lived within 150 miles of Pensacola since the 1840s, and fought for the confederacy. As my grandmother went to her first Auburn game in 1914 with her father her father dying in the 1918 flu epidemic in Opelika. However, to think that intelligent policy to protect children in school is an attack against my American culture is just the type of talk which radicalizes both left and right. Nobody is taking my guns, but if I buy or sell there needs to be better information collection so that dangerous criminals and mentally ill people can be reviewed before a transaction and transfer happens. My Southern culture is NOT being attacked when talking about protecting children with intelligent policies by government. My mother's name was Lucy Ellen.......it does not get any more southern than that, yet she was educated and an intelligent woman. Please do not associate bad policy with my southern heritage. You do not have that right to speak for others. If your beliefs feel under attack, you might want to review where you stand on issues. Tabby this is a great nation.

It's about individual control. The globalist yuppie urbanite liberals have been manipulating minds for decades. Whether it be erasing southern culture, individuality, or gun control, it's all a guise for a certain agenda. Up is down, left is right. People are addicted to their phones and technology. It consumes and increasingly controls them. Hate to see this country in another 25 years. It’s not even about gun control. It’s about individual control.

The selling establishment should advise the buyer that there will be up to a 30 Day wait. If the potential buyer is not notified by them within the 30 days then they've NOT been approved. The potential buyer could contact the Governmental Agency in charge if dissatisfied . The selling establishment should express to the buyer that the normal turn-around is a week or so unless further examination is required. The questionnaire should be Government provided written in English and carefully constructed to not confuse the applicant in any way. @ Grand Locust

A background check takes 2 minutes, if they can't get their act together enough to complete one in three days, THAT'S A PROBLEM. In this Country, we have a premise that you are innocent until proven guilty, giving the Government the ability to indefinitely delay approval for me to exercise my right is a bad idea.
