The country is flooded with firearms. They last indefinitely and more are being produced every day. Here and elsewhere, in factories and in private 1-man shops. Those are facts. We have seen gun bans that do nothing. We only need to look at Prohibition in the 1930's for a similar scenario of worthless laws. So controlling the supply is a nonstarter. Personal responsibility and getting a line on potential wackos would be the logical direction to go. Some form of mandatory gun safety school should be required for everyone, and that venue would also provide an opportunity to weed out some of society's sick people who need help. The trouble right now is the people who are flying under the radar who desperately need help but they are not getting it. Just one gun or any weapon in that person's hands spells disaster.
