It seems we have three approaches.

We have a problem. And guns are it.

We have a problem. And people are it.

We have no problem.

I think there are some freepers who take number three. I dont see any way you can ignore this problem, despite various reasons as to why the phenomonen occurs. The common ground of everyone, at the very leat, realizing this is a major problem in our society would be a good starting point.

and how about committing the emotional disturbed and schizophrenic patient into the proper hospitals and institutions instead of having them walking the streets listening to little voices telling them to shoot people and pushing people in front of oncoming subways.

How utterly predictable. Statists all. "Never let a good crisis go to waste", and all that...

Such legislation should ...keep guns out of the hands of terrorists

Right, because terrorists won't be able to get firearms if such legislation is passed, right? Freaking morons.

This latest epidemic of shootings has left all of us asking: How many more gun-related acts of violence must we experience before the nation's leaders will decide that it is time to act?

How many more threats to our constitutional rights and liberty are we going to experience before free people decide that it is time to act?
