I suspect that soon, gun nuts will be talking all about that, to distract from the ease of obtaining “kit” guns or 3D printing them.
Time for those people to talk about the need for "mental health care"... before walking away never to discuss it again until the next mass murder.article said:
You think that's hard, try getting a discount insurance agency to pay for regular therapy.
Funny you say that... but ignore the discount part. On plan was copay, now new plan is out-of-pocket till deductible and then 20%.
No way around it. I pay premiums and deductibles ad nauseum. I “invested” in what was a deal where you pay those amounts and then the sky (or 2 million or something) is the limit. But the premiums and deductibles go up, and now that my wife is a big consumer (now in extended care/assisted living), all kinds of walls go up.
When my father passed away, we discovered that he had been carrying what we were certain was an unregistered ( ie illegal) handgun in his truck. Being an extremely law and order type of guy, that was pretty …interesting. He grew up hunting and was extremely skilled with a shotgun or a rifle, so his interest in firearms was always there. Mostly we were curious about how he came to be in possession of such an item, given that it wasn’t legal. I was also concerned because he had been in declining health for a while which both explained why he thought he might ‘need’ such a thing and horrified at the potential for serious harm to someone. Before his health had gotten really bad, he took long trips pulling a fifth wheel so maybe he was worried about being victimized?
Some magnet fisherman will be thrilled.
I have this vision of him throwing the gun out into the lake, where it lands with a "thunk" on a pile of handguns that have filled the lake, so that only a quarter of an inch of water remains...
You don’t want to run over that with your outboard!
What do you mean? He was receiving mental health care. What this shows is that mental health issues are difficult to handle, and just having access is often not enough.
Unless you really suck at logging in into online accounts, that is most certainly false.
Not really. He had a previous conviction. So, either he got the gun(s) illegally, or there was an oversight from the state.

If only….
No you see the guns just magically appear out of thin air.
I need to know my username and password (typical). And then I need to own a cell phone, have it on me, to receive a text message code to get into my account.
I get Derec's ironic point. After all, it is people like Derec and the NRA because they support maniacal SCOTUS decisions that expand 2nd amendment rights which make easy to legally obtain a fire arms and fight against reasonable Constitutional restrictions.
That is the standard process these days to get into just about any online account. Yes, its annoying, but as someone who was recently the subject of a personal data breach, that texting a numberical code thing was the only thing that kept thieves from breaking into multiple accounts. Can't you set up your account to do an auto-pay every month? I've been doing that with all my bills for 25 to 30 years now.
If a thieve would like to pay my utility bill, I'm okay with that. I'm less okay with easy access to firearms, like the one that murdered 8 children.
