You better re-think that statement.

I guess no system is perfect. One thing to note from me - I'll take the chance of a whacko getting hold of something in favor of a ban any day. Bans are just stupid, including the fully auto ban!

Well, just had to say nothing inherently wrong with being a foreigner and buying a handgun. As long as your status in the USA is legit (immigrant alien). I'm a foreigner, with my green card, and I just ordered my 3rd handgun this past week (revolver, should be here by the weekend). I've been shooting at the same club for years.

The only problem with Cho's background check was that the databases searched did not have the appropriate mental health data in them. The background check system is only as good as the data that's put into it (or not put in it, as the case may be).

Just saying, his being a foreigner had nothing inherently to do with anything (he had a green card, so his fingerprints had already been run once by the FBI and USCIS - don't know how long he'd had his green card though, maybe long before the mental illness first came to light).

Typical democrat - Flip flop flip flop!

You know why they flip flop? Because they have an agenda that is contrary to the popular one - typically more control, more government, pure communism, yet they have a hard time saying it.

That statement clearly comes from a Conservative Republican: MORE POWER TO THE BIG BUSINESSES! LESS TAXES ON THE RICH; MORE ON THE LITTLE PEOPLE OF THE COUNTRY! LESS GOVERNMENT CONTROL!
