Actually, a lot of them do buy the weapons they use and pass the NICS background check, which makes you wonder what exactly the anti's are trying to stop with "universal background checks". I'm not aware of any mass shooting where a universal background check would have prevented the shooter from acquiring the firearm used in the shooting.Odinvalknir wrote: ↑Thu Feb 14, 2019 12:30 am I still haven't figured out why these people can't understand a simple truth.
Most mass shooters either
1. Don't buy the weapons they use
2. Don't follow the laws already on the books (obviously)
3. Could just pack many extra magazines and ammo for reloading so it negates the law banning "high capacity" magazines.
I believe some have also acquired them through straw purchases. Others took/stole them from their parents.
