"We can't tolerate this anymore." -- President Barack Obama
Of course, this raises the obvious question, why have we tolerated America's infamously non-existent gun restrictions to date? Interestingly, over the past two decades, as more gun crime occurs, our will to push for more regulation declines:
Yet Americans remain supportive when we seek specifics. Since 1993 all states are required to conduct background checks before people can be issued with a firearm, yet they seem to be a toothless tiger. When polled, 91% of Americans agreed that background checks should filter out both felons and the mentally ill, preventing them from personally owning a firearm. We know how many recent mass-murderers have been mentally unstable; you essentially must be to commit such an act.

Two reasonable questions:
- Why do you want to purchase this firearm?
- Are you able to hold unmitigated responsibility for your actions, both legally (age) and medically (mental health)?
