Everybody knows that sane, law abiding citizens become mass murderers the moment they hold a gun in their hands.
Yes, limiting access to the tools of murder will decrease murders caused by those same tools, but it does nothing to eliminate the murderous intentions of those people.
If we truly care about people's well being we should be doing both, reduce the risk of senseless shootings and massacres (gun control) and assist those with murderous intentions and other mental health issues who, believe it or not, are also victims of our sick culture and so-called societies.
Most gun owners live in a paranoid fantasy world with a hero complex. I've heard some wild shit come from the mouths of people who own guns. Many who do own them should have them taken away. It's mostly brainwashing and less about mental disorders with these people.
