summarizing a bunch of posts above:
I am not for criminalizing hate speech. Most of the people held at Gitmo were not guilty of any crime. Torture is always wrong. The No Fly List is a violation of due process.
The question is how do we prevent bad people from accessing these weapons? Most of the mass shootings in the US have been done by emotionally disturbed young American men. How do we make it harder for them to commit these atrocities ?
There are already restrictions on what type of weapons you can legally own. There are already regulations on what you must do to obtain certain weapons. These restrictions and regulations are not a violation of the 2nd Amendment.
Propose some solutions now. The more mass shootings occur the more the public will want to ban.

Then why ask rhetorical questions?
should people who are on the No Fly List be allowed to buy weapons? If .Gov has something on these people , shit or get off the pot.

We can't. Why? because they're not " bad people " until they start pulling the trigger. Obviously more of a focus should be placed on mental health but that creates a new set of problems , when is it ok for a therapist to turn in their patients? How does this affect HIPAA laws? I know one thing you don't prevent ME from being able to purchase a certain type of firearm because some mentally ill people decide to murder a bunch of people.

You're wrong , these " restrictions & regulations " are in violation of the 2nd Amendment , especially considering the vast majority of " mass killings " are done with pistols opposed to rifles. When you arbitrarily limit the amount of rounds a person can carry in a magazine , that's infringement , when you " ban " rifles based on nothing more than appearance that's infringement , When you want to ban the amount of firearms a person can purchase that's infringement , When you punish me for what he did that's the textbook definition of infringement.

lol Your solution is for a ban. And you're just blissfully ignorant on why. Forget the fact you're much more likely to to be stabbed to death before you get shot with an AR15 , you're much more likely to be beaten to death with hands & feet before you are to get shot by an AR15 but you don't care , AR15's have NO place for the general population
Fear & ignorance drives the public , these rifles have been demonized and the masses don't care about the facts , this is exactly why " the public " shouldn't have a say in these matters , it's how we got here in the first place. The only solution is investing more in mental health , giving the professionals more leeway in being able to detain people who they deem dangerous and a threat to society, This in turn will most likely prevent people from being honest with their doctors and avoid mental health professionals due to stigma.
There is NO " solutions " We've learn prohibitions don't work , never have , never will. People are so delusional they don't want to accept the fact that we live among killers and sometimes they want to hurt us and will.
