Buck Showalter.."Our treatment of the mentally ill in this country is a procreateing joke. You can't reach out for help without being ashamed and it's damn near impossible to get help for someone you know who needs it."
I agree with you. It was exactly the same while I was in the military. If you did reach out, there was a good chance you would lose your security clearance , thus your job . So.. if you said you had a problem, and spoke about it, then you knew it would be a career ender for you.
I realize what you all are saying, however go to the internet and type in "How to buy Assault Weapon online" and you will see that there are many sites that sell assault weapons, as well as Body armor, etc.
I am not saying that am I against owning weapons, however. I do have a problem with the owning of assault weapons. I used all the assault weapons the military had while I was in the army. However, I do not feel they have a place in our civilian society. Military environment YES!!, Civilian environment / life No!!
Do you really need a semi - automatic weapon to kill your deer or elk?
If you do I would think that maybe you need to take up fishing without the weapon.
It is funny, when you ask a question about weapons in Montana and about gun ownership. and the weapons that are needed . . the majority of people become up in arms about their rights. I am not saying take away your arms. All I saying and asking do we really need to have the ability to buy assault weapons, over 6000 rounds, and body armor over the internet.
Would your thoughts be different if one of the 12 causality were your next of kin?
