There are many reasons our forefathers decided on the Bill of Rights and the fact that we are allowed guns in America. Probably the biggest one you can understand is what's happening in Ukraine right now. However I will not go over all the other reasons as many commentators have already said the bulk of the reasoning. I will point out however that America has the largest percentage of its population in jail and we still have crimes involving guns. I will also point out that while these mass shootings are terrible, we have other statistics that are even worse that we should be concerned about like over 30,000 people killed by cars every year, 90,000 people killed by alcohol every year. I do want to point out that suicides by gun are over half the gun deaths. Perhaps in 10 or 20 years technology will solve all of our problems by having an integrated circuit in the chip in a gun can tell whether the person holding it is nuts or not. But for now that's science fiction. I am always concerned when you want to have government people decide what I can do and what I cannot do based on my mental condition and social media because after all you can't really watch the watchers and it becomes pretty much non-factual
