Perhaps, it would be a good idea to require a psychiatric evaluation to determine emotional and mental stability prior to the purchase of a weapon.
If we had a government and political leaders we could trust (which we don't) , most people would support this idea. However, since the level of dishonesty is increasingly apparent for all, it would be viewed as nothing more that a series of steps aimed (no pun intended) at effectively confiscating private firearms ownership. That's why people will continue to oppose it.
