It's too easy to get guns. There ought to be more restrictions on the purchase of firearms.
A person ought to prove his mental competency to own them. I'm sure it was fairly easy for the young student to acquire his weapon.

Some of the arguments presented in favor of unlimited control of firearms makes me wonder about those arguers' mental competency. When the NRA is criticized, the defenders begin to sound like angry hornets. Why should anyone doubt those with their anger showing under certain circumstances wouldn't use a gun irresponsibly?

BB you polluted the argument by bringing in the ACLU which has probably defended gun-owners in the past.

There is a sensible approach to all of this that has to do with diffusing the anger on this issue. This is an issue regarding the ownership of guns and who should be able to have them. Until this issue is solved, the Center for Disease Control will continue to cite gun violence as one of the leading health problems in the US.

So to all of you hot heads who are so angy about your guns being taken away, your anger undercuts your argument.

For those with cooler minds and logical thinking, who should have guns and who shouldn't could be given more serious thought.
