(Mar. 28, 2023) — How does a mentally-ill 28-year-old (who incidentally is confused and quite possibly angry about her/his gender) purchase seven deadly weapons, including automatic handguns and long rifles, without authorities knowing about it (authorities such as the FBI, ATF, Tennessee Department of Public Safety or whatever it’s called, and others)? Isn’t there some sort of shared firearms registry which should have zeroed in on this killer and his penchant for owning weapons? Remind me not to be treated by her/his psychotherapist, who apparently kept the deadly diagnosis a secret too long!
In closing, congratulations for a job well done by the Nashville Police. Also, my sincere condolences to the victims’ families for what I believe was a tragic, horrible, and evil crime that could have, and should have, been prevented. I wish I could say the same for the family of the killer. Please, do not insult us with cover-ups; just tell us the TRUTH AND THE WHOLE TRUTH.
Come on, Arnold… The main point of your article is a good point and well taken…
However, please don’t feed the liberal narrative… The mentally deranged Nashville
shooter did not purchase or use any automatic handguns or long rifles… The firearms used were all semi-automatic…. The difference between automatic and
semi-automatic is comparable to the difference between night and day…
Miki B: Thanks for your interest and the info in your comment. I especially like the last sentence! Tom A.
There is no registry for firearms and thank God for that because that’s what a rogue government wants to target and disarm a populace. As for mental illness background checks there is nothing in place to track that. On the ATF/FBI application for gun purchases there is the question asking about history of mental illness but that relies on the purchasers’ truthfulness which only comes out after the fact. Such is the case of Hunter Biden where he lied about using drugs on his application which is a felony. The casual disposal of his firearm should have resulted in his arrest. Any and all attempts by a rogue government aimed at gun control is an affront to all supporters of the 2nd Amendment. The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.
