No one is talking about banning guns. You fail to see the difference between gun control and gun bans.
In very simple terms, we need to keep firearms out of the hands of people who can do damage with them. You look over the vast majority of these cases and you'll see one common theme - mental illness issues. We have the right to bear arms, but that right can be taken away - for example, we do not allow felons to own fire arms. Simple enough. Now, we need to expand this to anyone with mental issues.
I know what you will all say - But the gun owner didn't have mental illness, her son did. (Her son, the shooter, had some kind of personality disorder.) Again, very simple - if you have someone living in your house who has any kind of mental illness problems AND OR anger management problems, you are banned from owning any firearms.
