For those of you considering restricting firearms for the "mentally ill," are you also considering restricting their other fundamental rights? Would you prevent them from having a computer, radio or TV? Should they be prevented from voting? Can the police enter their home at any time for any reason?
Sounds good to me. Review the history of the Columbine perps, the Giffords shooter, Colorado theatre shooter, this guy, and many others. They destructive map they lay out in advance of these acts is very often very well known by people who are involved in their daily lives. They are mostly powerless to do anything about it. I wonder how his guy's mom stored her guns? She evidently knew that he was not right in the head. Assuming they can't be helped in any other way, I'd be fine with every freedom they have being taken away. Perhaps forever.
What action would you propose if this were to become a daily occurrence? Let's say a thousand Kindergarden kids are shot to death every year...or five thousand? How long do you think we could continue to keep gun freedoms in the US at that rate? What would you do then? Why would you not do the same if it is 50 a year?
Something WILL happen - I'd prefer that responsible gun owners help drive that action. If it doesn't involve a reasonable effort to keep guns out of the hands of the insane, then it will certainly involve keeping guns away from everyone.
