There is not a law currently on the books or one you could write that would have stopped the last few mass shootings. To stop mass shootings you need to teach values to the youth of the nation. I was raised with guns in the home, they were never locked up. We knew they weren’t toys, they were fun to shoot, but it was always under dad’s supervision. It’s not the tool, it’s how you are taught to use the tool. And any infringement on my Constitutionally protected rights will be met with resistance. I don’t trust the folks in DC to protect me and my family. Hell, they can’t even protect the boarder from invasion right now. No I’ll keep my guns and rely on myself thank you.

By definition the person who uses guns to k**l and injure innocent people has a serious mental health issue.

Changing the dynamics of drunk driver deaths isn't about limiting the numbers of cars, it was a much harsher treatment of drunk drivers that made a difference...

The correlation is a much harsher outlook on people who should not have a gun, personally I feel that people in unhinged people's lives need to take a proactive position about making it clear that someone they know is a danger in terms of having access to guns. People involved with certain degrees of domestic violence and anger management issues need to be restricted. A harsh view on a few hundred thousand people with aberrant mental health issues would affect a percentage of the types of random violence we are seeing. Unstable people do not have the same rights that stable people do.

In an analysis of 235 mass k*****gs, many of which were carried out with firearms, 22 percent of the perpetrators could be considered mentally ill.

Overall, mass shootings by people with serious mental illness represent 1 percent of all gun homicides each year, according to the book “Gun Violence and Mental Illness” published by the American Psychiatric Association in 2016.

To be sure, gun violence experts contacted by New York Times reporters have said that barring sales to people who are deemed dangerous by mental health providers could help prevent mass shootings. But the experts said several more measures — including banning assault weapons and barring sales to convicted violent criminals — more effective.
