I live in Oklahoma. Our Highway Patrol candidates have to go through an unbelievably in depth background check, with interviews of past work colleagues, acquaintances, etc. But, if you're a kid with documented psychological and discipline issues (but no criminal background) and turn 18 years of age, you can go straight to a gun dealer and purchase a firearm. If that's not disturbing to people, I can see why we have a problem.

A lot of kids grow up having "troubled pasts" of one kind or another. Define "troubled pasts".
