In my above message, replace "automatic weapons" with "AK-47s", as in the original statement. (From European news coverage, I had the obviously wrong impression that it was automatic.)

Also, I had the impression that the Aurora killer bought his weapons legally.

If

"persons who have been convicted for violent crimes, or who have been diagnosed "nuts"" ARE FORBIDDEN to own guns,

with sufficient enforcement at the point of sale, what is Obama talking about?
