There is only one solution to these young, crazy shooters
Most of these non-terrorist, crazy mass shooters are fairly young, and after the fact are always described as loners, misfits, depressed, anti-social, etc. Yet they haven't done anything yet that would prohibit them from legally obtaining a gun. But, there were "warning signs" if only someone had noticed and "done something" about it.
So how about every year, starting in Jr high school, there is a survey of all the students where they have to rank all their classmates on a social acceptance scale? Yes, it would be something like a popularity contest. Each student would have to rate each of their classmates in several categories and rank them on a scale. Students would be able to comment on who is "weird, a loner, a misfit, creepy, anti-social," etc. After all, who would observe and recognize the "warning signs" better than their peers? School authorities would turn these survey results over to qualified psychiatric panels who would evaluate and identify students that "bear watching." If someone is consistently ranked "weird" or "creepy" by their peers they would get further scrutiny. Finally, at the end of high school, where most people are legally eligible to legally buy weapons, the authorities could put the ones that consistently ranked as loners, misfits, and losers in a Federal database that would prohibit them from ever passing a background check and obtaining a weapon from an FFL. If the UBCs are expanded to all sales, including private sales, it would preclude many of these mass shooters from obtaining a firearm.
That is a way to identify and do something about all these young misfits that turn into mass killers even though they haven't done anything criminal yet. At least it is a way to do something that could pass constitutional muster and every elected representative should be OK with it.
What do you think?

Well, at least we'd know that no DUers would ever own guns.

Can you imagine the howls of rage from the left if this was actually done?
Good God these people are lunatics.

17. I suspect about half of DU would be put in the "bear watching" category
I'm not sure that being well adjusted to American society in its current incarnation is particularly indicative of actual mental health.
Not half of DU, all of DU. Just like Mary Ann said.

Judging by the IRS sterling record of discrimination against Conservative groups, I would so NOT trust the govt to determine who can or cannot own guns based on a popularity contest in high school.

The race for DOTY keeps intensifying.

I've noticed an uptick in lunacy lately, too. Hopefully they won't peak too soon!

The significant others of the DUmmies have been wishing this for a long time. Ya know the old adage of wish in one hand, shit in the other and find out which one Skittles the Unicorn fills up first. :whatever:

It's all they know. Their most prominent memory being rejected at the "cool table".

I can neither confirm nor deny. :cheersmate:

NO.....that would just give the DUmmies another excuse to shoot up the school.

There you go, even the idiots in DUmmieland know they're not fit for society.

That's pretty demanding from a group that worships a man who won't even release his college records.

If the president will lie to a nation of 300 million, a DUmmie will lie to a shrink or on a school survey.

OK, so my last idea was not well received

I'm sharing just the headline since the rest of the post is just more of the same.

I read that and thought it had to be sarcasm, a spoof. But no, the DUmmie is serious.

7. Your proposal would definitely NOT pass constitutional muster under multiple theories.
It is also shocking and frightening in the extreme that such a plan could be offered by someone who purports to be a Democrat.
Some want to hide it, make it go away. Too late. I'm going to quote it all over the internet: Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the democrat party:

Bullshit. You people are evil and would have no problem with that ridiculous suggestion.
