Why the devil is it necessary to unarm US citizens who day in and day out uphold the law, act responsibly and store their weapons accordingly? If it is the perfect plan to unarm the citizenry does it make Russia shine as a country? Is anyone watching the squelching of the voice of the people right now in that country as they try to protest the questionable actions of their government?
When do we ban automobiles and airplanes? These two vehicles have caused far more injury and death in the US than any guns. Or maybe the most we allow is a smart car for everyone because fewer people would be killed or injured with a smaller vehicle.
To say that there is very little mental illness involved in shootings and that people are evil instead makes me laugh. A normal brain does not function on the premise that taking lives is fun. Isn’t that the main thrust of PTSD syndrome? There is something wrong upstairs when people want to commit mass murders!
It would be a huge mistake to unarm our citizenry, your freedom may depend on it someday. Why don’t those who champion government gun control champion mental health facilities and monitoring? Because grabbing guns is cheaper and easier.

No one wants to disarm the people of this country. Stop the manufacture and further sale of assault type weapons like those used in many recent shootings. Yes. And develop buy back programs with local police departments for assault like weapons.
Many terrorists are fanatics. They look mentally ill to "normal" people. The 9/11 terrorists were not mentally ill nor the Boston Marathon bombers. They were radicalized though by propaganda. I have not seen any signs of mental illness in the Dayton nor El Paso mass murderers.
