[A CA Guy]

In the OLD days they took autistic, schizophrenic kids and others like them and locked them away for life when they were young.
We got civil and that afforded the opportunity for the crazy folks to kill more.
They could kill with a knife, car, bomb and so forth if you don't have guns.
We think some of the crazies are still nice so we do not want them locked away till after they kill one or many. So how do we handle that? The answer is not a nice one.

"They could kill with a knife, car, bomb and so forth if you don't have guns."

Yes. Crimes involving guns went way down in UK after gun bans were enacted but crimes with knives, along with smothering, choking, poisonings, et al, went way up.
