I learned a valuable lesson in graduate school from a teacher everyone hated but he was brilliant with 2 PhDs in psychology and divinity. I had an assignment to analyze a family conflict. So I bring back my paper he reads it tells me its worthless and tosses it in my direction like garbage. He did stuff like that. After I suppressed the desire to punch his lights out I asked whats wrong with it. He said its all observable behavior whats the process. Thats whats really going on causing the behavior numbskull. I pause to suppress my initial desire. Then the light bulb went off in my head. Now for my point.
The anti gun mind sees a man shooting people and blames the gun. Their solution take the gun away. Thats observable behavior but not process. We are still left with the killer.
The process is a determined mentally ill person who in many cases intends to die is doing the killing. We address the process by stopping him in advance. That can be done because in most cases they expose themselves or have a long history of violence and mental illness. We need the ability to mandate long term or treatment for life. (That doesnt mean locking people up).
To those who claim well a gun makes it easy. How about running people over with a car. Should we take all the cars away. Pressure cooker bomb like they used in Boston. Address the process not the tool you can see
