You go to a gun show and you will sit there and wait for them to do a background check on you. And since you're not the only one there to buy a gun, you'll be there for a while. After there were many robberies in our area several years ago we went to a local gun/pawn shop to buy a shotgun and had to wait for a background check there as well. Private gun sales are another matter. Unless the seller is super careful and does a background check on the buyer, that is an easier way to get one.Wouldn't this be a great place to start? Combining automatic and semi-automatic is a misstatement of the Left, usually by media pundits who don't know the difference, but sometimes an intentional distortion by those who do. To answer your questions: New sales of automatic weapons have been banned since 1986. One can buy a used one, but they are very expensive and require a permit with a rigorous background check. They are basically just collector's items, and I doubt there was a legit automatic weapon used Sunday night. Semi-automatic is just a convenient way of loading the next round. If you had to stop and load a round every time you fired the weapon wouldn't be very useful for self defense. A revolver, which is not semi-automatic, also does this, and the net result is no different. The no-fly list is created by unaccountable government officials. A person put on the no-fly list is not told at the time and has no means of appeal. Lots of people have appeared on the list who shouldn't have, including Ted Kennedy and Cat Stevens. It should not be used for deciding who does and who doesn't have Second Amendment rights. Mentally ill people are already banned from purchasing guns. The problem here is that a lot of mental illness goes undiagnosed. Forcing every citizen to undergo regularly scheduled mental health exams is not constitutional either.
