[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5807895, member: 24302"] We need an FBI or something similar. We also need better oversight over the FBI. You said God given rights. I merely pointed out that God didn't give you the right to own a gun or threaten others with them. The crux of the matter is whether you consider gun ownership so sacred that absolutely nothing can be done that might possibly infringe on gun ownership even if it means not doing anything to head off a possible mass shooting. No, we don't know if someone spouting threats online will lead to anything more but anytime someone does, or makes threats in public, that person should be taken into custody and evaluated. And prohibited from having access to guns during that evaluation and after if deemed a threat to the public. That won't stop all mass shootings, but it's a good start. Why anyone would resist this is beyond me. [/QUOTE]
