The victim disarmers... well, to be polite about it, they upset me. While I find their motivations to be worthy ones, they usually represent a very, very vocal minority. And the NRA usually has no trouble drumming up the emails when it comes down to crunch time.
We need better controls, yes. We need better enforcement, yes. Most of all, though, we need better mental health care. If we had that much, at least maybe Christina-Taylor Green would be alive today, as well was the rest of the victims at Tucson, and Mrs. Giffords would still have her seat in the Senate.
Really, how often does it happen that one of these shootings occurs where at least one of the following does not apply?
1) Perpetrator was mentally disturbed
2) Weapons were acquired illegally
But really, is there any source out there where I can compare this sort of data? I honestly would like to look into this.
