(5,170 posts)Interstate gun sales happen all the time, without background checks or licensing. I know because I know people who have bought guns this way. So any regulation that exists is not "strict regulation," which the claim I am disputing.
If you are saying that the Newtown shooter "stole" his guns, that is disingenuous. Using guns that are in your house and registered and purchased legally is not "stealing" them. That is like saying you steal your mom's car when you take it to the store, or you steal her couch when you sit on it. That argument is really beneath me, and it should be beneath you.

Moreover, I didn't say that all mass murders happen with legally purchased guns, I said it was the majority of cases. That is what I have been reading, and it appears to be based on the preponderance of the evidence.
