Now, could you point out how it is relevant on this thread? Has anyone proposed disarming "it's citizens"?
I understand the fear of a slippery slope, and agree it can not be allowed. But that is a far cry from the other slippery slope of not allowing any controls or restrictions. Would you agree that Nuclear weapons should not be permitted to be owned by citizens? Why not? After all Nuclear Weapons don't kill people, people kill people.

I’m more interested in the facts we are discussing about guns but a quick comment on all possibilities you want to examine.
You are proposing we need to ban cars also because one may be killed while in one with intention by a mentally deranged person?
Just how many items does the government need to ban to protect us? No thought is given to the obvious, monitoring the mentally ill. We have total invasion of our lives with cyber information gathering for everything but no one suggests monitoring bizarre behavior and information gathering by the mentally ill.
