  1. This is a national problem on Mental Health not Guns. Guns do not kill, or harm anyone unless the person pulling a trigger causes the act. Guns do not jump out and hurt anyone unless they are in the hands of someone who should not have a gun. therefore registration and background checks are the issue here. When anyone purchases a GUN of any type they should be required to register it, and fill out an application for a personal background check. Even though this latest purchase was a legal purchase with a legal age (which should be 21 years of age just like voting should be) through a legal gun store, the person who purchased the gun had mental illnesses and should have had a background check. The local law enforcement agencies should have a registration of those with mental illness and should be contacted before delivery of fire arms. You will never be able to legislate against mental illness, but more can be done to protect those who are mentally fine to own, possess and carry a firearm of certain specifications for self protection. So much can be done without trying to over turn our 2nd Amendment. C’mon lets quit trying to take away guns and lets concentrate on prompt laws for background checks and registrations in concert with law enforcement before these tragedies can happen.

  2. That’s so easy. Why didn’t anybody else think of that? While we’re at it let’s simply cure cancer too. It kills more people than guns. And let’s put and end to all wars. I suggest group therapy. After all, wars don’t kill people, people do.
