John Hinkley Jr - says too many guns in America

Post by Bruenor »

Should definitely base our laws on the opinion of some POS that tried to assassinate the U.S. president. /s

John Hinckley Jr, who shot President Ronald Reagan and three others in 1981 and spent the ensuing decades in psychiatric confinement, says America has too many weapons that could fall into the hands of mentally ill people bent on violence.

"I think there are too many guns in America," Hinckley told ABC News’s Nightline on Tuesday.

The 67-year-old, who was released from custody in June, added that he thinks people with mental health conditions shouldn’t be allowed to buy guns.

“I certainly don’t think the mentally ill should have access to guns, that’s kind of obvious,” he said.
