Get rid of the guns or get rid of the people. . .

get rid of the guns so that someone with anger and irrational issues doesn't have a chance to do something stupid. .

I grew up with guns, and used them in the military. I don't own one now as I don't really see the need. But that doesn't mean others who purchase them legally shouldn't have them.

I wish I could wave a magic wand and make them all go away. But they won't. So it is painfully simplistic to say "Ban guns", when anyone that wants one can get one, and even make one. What we should do is enforce the laws we have, and make any gun crime punishable by long prison sentence, up to and including life without parole/death penalty. And do a far better job when a person is identified as being mentally unstable, making sure they don't get guns.
