How do you suppose we help would be school shooters?

What total BS pro gun nonsense. Switzerland certainly does not destroy any gun control argument. It is proof that gun control does work. It should be a model for the US. Even with military weapons included, gun possession in Switzerland is a fraction what it is in the US. They don't allow crazy people do buy guns like the US does. All guns are registered in Switzerland, and the only way the Swiss can buy a gun is with a weapons acquisition permit. Which is the way it should be in the US.

Prohibited persons[edit]
The Gun Control Act of 1968 was enhanced in 1993 with the passage of the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act. The Brady Act created a background check system which required licensed sellers to inspect the criminal history background of prospective gun purchasers, and the Brady Act created a list of categories of individuals to whom the sale of firearms is prohibited. As quoted from 18 U.S.C. 922 (d):

It shall be unlawful for any person to sell or otherwise dispose of any firearm or ammunition to any person knowing or having reasonable cause to believe that such person— (1) is under indictment for, or has been convicted in any court of, a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year; (2) is a fugitive from justice; (3) is an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance (as defined in section 102 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 802)); (4) has been adjudicated as a mental defective or has been committed to any mental institution; (5) who, being an alien— (A) is illegally or unlawfully in the United States; or (B) except as provided in subsection (y)(2), has been admitted to the United States under a nonimmigrant visa (as that term is defined in section 101(a)(26) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101 (a)(26))); (6) who [2] has been discharged from the Armed Forces under dishonorable conditions; (7) who, having been a citizen of the United States, has renounced his citizenship; (8) is subject to a court order that restrains such person from harassing, stalking, or threatening an intimate partner of such person or child of such intimate partner or person, or engaging in other conduct that would place an intimate partner in reasonable fear of bodily injury to the partner or child, except that this paragraph shall only apply to a court order that— (A) was issued after a hearing of which such person received actual notice, and at which such person had the opportunity to participate; and (B) (i) includes a finding that such person represents a credible threat to the physical safety of such intimate partner or child; or (ii) by its terms explicitly prohibits the use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force against such intimate partner or child that would reasonably be expected to cause bodily injury; or (9) has been convicted in any court of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence.

Could you please explain to the rest of us how the US allows cray people to buy guns?

Crazy people are not allowed to buy guns in the US, how do you think we should screen these people? It's silly, yes if you have been committed you will not pass a background test.

Stop trolling. Back ground checks in the US are a joke, and you know it. You find somebody with a gun you want, you hand then the money, they hand you the gun. You can't do that in any other civilized country in the world.

NRA terrorists strike again.

Say we can identify someone who might go of the rails or cause a shooting; how do you suppose the person could be helped before they get to that level?

Trolling? Who's trolling?
Here's a textbook example of trolling a few months ago on the first page of the Charleston church shooting:

Pretty sure you can do that any place on Earth, that is generally how you buy things. A "crazy" person as determined by the state is not allow to own or buy a weapon, neither are felons or domestic abusers.

That is a true statement,

unlike your pretending that you need a background check to buy a gun in the US.

No, no where else in the civilized world is it like that. You are the one who used Switzerland as an example of a country that you claim destroys gun control arguments because it's so safe. In reality they have incredibly strong gun control, and is highly successful at keeping guns out of the hands of crazy people, who might use them to commit mass
murder. and they are tightening their gun control laws even more all the time.

So tell me by characteristic how the NRA is a terrorist organization. Take your time.

A video of foreigners with the help of a clueless American whining about the NRA. If it's not the NRA then it'll be something else.

Switzerland is interesting because of its high rate of gun ownership and the fact they allow their citizens access to real full auto "assault rifles" as part of their militia system of which I believe all men are drafted into. The Swiss have little violence because they're not plagued by inequality or a drug war, that is America's real problem.

No need to take any time. It's simple. The NRA empowers crazy people to get guns and cary out terror attacks against American citizens. They do so by fighting any and all laws that might make it difficult for these people to carry out their terror attacks.

If there was say Islamic terrorists operating in the US, and there was an organization of American's who were selling them arms to carry out terrorist attacks on US citizens, there would be no debate that that organization was a terrorists organization. The NRA is no different.

Xenophobia much? Here is a hint. When the entire world, people of various different countries and cultures all think that you are acting a bit crazy, either 1. they are all wrong, which is not very likely, because by definition a crazy person is a person who appears out of place, or seems different from the majority, or 2. they are right.

They have a fraction of the gun ownership, that the US does, because they control who can by them. If we could throw away the Second Amendment at adopt the exact same laws, the Swiss have, our mass shooting problem would be solved.
