Loughner declined from the army, but passed a background check to buy a gun?

Nah, if i was a robber and knew there was a 50% chance i was going to get shot, i'd just kill him instead of it just being a robbery.

There was a murder case recently tried and settled where two men did a home invasion and set the house on fire after raping and torturing a pre-teen girl and her mother. The father lived; the mother and daughter burned alive. I don't know if any of them had guns, but no one was shot. You don't need guns to murder. You don't need to worry about guns to want to murder anyone. If you have a gun, you may be able to defend yourself, or you may not. I just don't see it as anyone elses business as to whether anyone should choose to own a gun, and the SCOTUS agrees with me, in spite of being nearly half communist.

Nedala-Just look at countries where its not piss easy to get guns, very few people get shoot in this countries, it could be so easy but guess most americans are blind.

Not many people may have been shot to death in Rwanda, even though guns are likely easy to get if you have money, but over 800,000 were hacked to death with machetes and all manner of attrocities commited prior to those deaths. Again, guns do not equal murderous intent, nor do they guarantee safety, but your viewpoint is decidedly ignorant and one-sided.
