Remington will come out of this. Worries about more gun controls do not scare me. It's the typical do something even if it's stupid response by people who want action instead of figuring out the real issues and then confronting them to make hard decisions. Easy to be in favor of gun control if you have no guns. I'm in favor of a lot of things that I don't do.
Why is the debate not about mental health problems instead of gun control? If this government declared a war on guns, like they have a war on drugs, every house in America would end up with a Class III gun in it. Gun control will never work. Only those willing to obey the law will be effectively disarmed.
The debate needs to be about all these kids who have been on meds for years, then when they hit 18 the Meds stop because no one wants to pay for them or write them. Worse there is little evidence those childhood meds are effective on adults. Instead of helping people figure out ways to cope or modify behaviors we have too many parents who want a magic pill. There is no pharmaceutical magic. It's more a crutch or a trap and when it stops then what? Mental health issues are real and a real national data base for those who have been treated for them needs to be put in place. If in it you can not buy a gun until your case has been medically and local law enforcement have had a chance to review you right to own a gun and decide you are reasonably safe.
