Criminals will still get their hands on these but not as easily if there are more enforced laws. The mentally ill would get less of these in their control too if there were more well written laws that take into account the rights of those with various mental illnesses.

Open carry is a law in some States. I think many are getting this and our "Constitutional right" to have a gun mixed up. It's like apples and oranges---both fruit but not the same.
If I understand the OP was not saying you shouldn't own a gun---just thought "open carry" was a bad idea. I own a gun, three of them, but I keep them in my possession but not outside in my yard or at the golf course or park waving them around. Such is a real slippery slope.
