re: #74 Backwoods_Sleuth

Felons are allowed to buy guns in Georgia?

The gun was legally bought and owned initially. How the murderer came into possession of it is anyone’s guess.

Stolen? Sold to a straw buyer? Sold directly to the criminal?

So we already have two possible federal felonies (including transporting on a public interstate vehicle) and God knows how many various state charges in every state between Georgia and NY involving possession and transportation by a felon.

I just see no way to turn this sort of thing completely off without a major societal shift in violence or a constitutional amendment process which would likely break the country about as thoroughly as we saw in 1861.
