I'll put you down as not crazyYou have offered nothing to the discussion, just poking at our posts.the effect of the 'assault weapon ban' was minimal, because 'assault weapons' were rarely used in crimes, even murders.Koper concluded by saying that “a new ban on large capacity magazines and assault weapons would certainly not be a panacea for gun crime, but it may help to prevent further spread of particularly dangerous weaponry and eventually bring small reductions in some of the most serious and costly gun crimes.”That was the best bill that could pass at the time and it did help. It tried to address fire rate. The NRA used loopholes to continue the ever increasing fire rate.

how did it help?
That kind of guarded language may not make for great sound bites for either side in the gun debate, but it more accurately reflects Koper’s findings and conclusion.

The gun shops say that he was a fine man when they sold weapons to himAnd? That means what exactly?
They said the same about me last time I bought a firearm.
Does that mean I'm going to turn into a mass murderer?
That is yet to be determined. They're all good guys with a gun until they arent.
agreed.
how do we separate the bad ones, and not abuse the good ones?
Firstly, you need to get off this "abuse" mentality. Are you really that upset if mods like bump stock and high cap mags go away?
Secondly, gun owners are going to have to be part of the solution. The status quo is untenable. At some point the safety of your fellow citizens has to be more important than your toys.
I own several myself. All normal stuff. Nothing exotic. I just like to shoot. I have never cared for the nutty lifestyle people build around guns. For a lot of people its gone well beyond a simple hobby and morphed into a whole nutty philosophy that is almost a religion.
Holy crap, I don't know if this has already been posted, but this video was shot by a cab driver who slowly comes to the realization that something has gone wrong.
At about 9:00, concert-goers start running to the cab, jump in, and tell her what's happening:
I have seen more than my share of gunnuts and how they change. It starts with the Rambo mentality. then the cute phrases during "discussions" especially at parties. "You do remember I am a gun owner, right?"The gun shops say that he was a fine man when they sold weapons to himPaddock made exactly the same claim
And? That means what exactly?

Most of my peers are gun owners, as am I, and I have never heard anyone say anything like that at a party, or in a discussion.
Either your friends are assholes, (and I'm not saying they aren't) or you are lying.

WAS STEPHEN PADDOCK NORMAL? MANY GUN OWNERS KEEP 17 FIREARMS ON AVERAGE
Stephen Paddock was, indeed, a gun nut.
As the owner of 42 firearms, the Las Vegas madman was at the very far fringe of even the fringe of gun ownership in the country.
Most gun owners possess an average of three firearms, according to a comprehensive national survey co-led by Northeastern University and Harvard and released in September 2016. Meanwhile, 130 million guns—half the country's firearms—are owned by just 3 percent of Americans, or 7.7 million people. These "super-owners" own 17 guns, on average.
