No law aimed at law-abiding citizens will stop that. There's a law against having Heroin.
Everyone behind bars was once a "law-abiding citizen". Letting anyone who wants a gun have a gun isn`t going so well.
Turning Mental Health patients out into the street isn't, either. Neither is teaching children there's no God and not setting boundaries for them.
This instance here is a result of turning Mental Health patients out into the street.
It is logistically impossible for the US to monitor every person with mental health issues and keep these high powered guns out of their hands. We need to ban that type of gun.
That's just a foot in the door to ban all the guns, you're not fooling anybody. Not happening, fascist.
This is the essential problem you people have. You're so afraid. Like a bunch of kids. No one is planning to ban all guns. Most of us are okay with other countries that do allow guns. Countries all over Europe allow guns. There are 36 guns per 100 people in Cyprus and that is just fine. It's having these high powered guns, assault weapons, automatic/semi-automatic weapons that are the problem. No one is planing to take away all your toys. Stop pouting. While you pout and fuss, innocent people, kids, babies continue to die.

Guns in America are used to save more lives than they take....and the people who are killed by violent criminals...?
They die because people like you use obama policies to not arrest violent people like the Florida shooter and you keep letting violent gun offenders out of jail...that is why we have gun crime in this country, not because normal people own and carry guns......
And Americans stop your violent criminals 1,500,000 times a year......according to 42 years of research...
A quick guide to the studies and the numbers.....the full lay out of what was studied by each study is in the links....
The name of the group doing the study, the year of the study, the number of defensive gun uses and if police and military defensive gun uses are included.....notice the bill clinton and obama defensive gun use research is highlighted.....

[17] U.S. civilians use guns to defend themselves and others from crime at least 989,883 times per year.

*****************************************
If you take the studies from that Kleck cites in his paper, 16 of them....and you only average the ones that exclude military and police shootings..the average becomes 2 million...I use those studies because I have the details on them...and they are still 10 studies (including Kleck's)....
