    I don’t know anything about it, I can’t say for sure. Probably the guy couldn’t get a gun, if I’d have to say.

      You’re arguing that getting a license would somehow prevent this shooting? The kid bought the guns legally as it is. They were not illegally obtained. So getting a license is just one more hoop to jump through. It wouldn’t have stopped anything, IMO.

        The thing about hoops is that they do prevent a lot of things.

        Not all of them, but a lot.

        “Ah, that’s too much to bother” is surprisingly a good deterrent.
