Crazy Black Gay guy control would be more targeted, and Constitutionally permitted.

Crazy Guy control could be a far more productive line of legislation to follow, EXCEPT.

Because this could also become a kind of mine field, as it would result in a lot of people being declared “mentally unfit”, and therefore forbidden access to guns, which like most of the “gun control” laws, would not necessarily prevent illegal access to firearms.

Forbidding access to guns does not STOP access to guns by those who are denied the privilege, and here we run into the difference between “privilege” and “right”.

Self-defense is and always was a God-given right, one having to do with living long enough to learn how to enjoy life. But self-defense is not necessarily an innate capability, but rather, one that must be LEARNED, and it obligatory upon the older generation to pass this body of knowledge to the young. Once respect for this ethical use of force to provide for one’s own self defense has been communicated and become part of the basic mental framework, then the other arts of self-defense may be taught, up to and including lethal methods, if the situation calls for it. With this body of learning well-schooled in the mind of the young citizen, then gun control is not necessary, as the proper mutual respect will be enjoyed by all members of the community.

But there could also not be any limitations on open or concealed carry, either.
