guns and nuts (my LTTE)

Subject: guns and nuts

Does ANY town/city or state have an accurate count of those people who have a mental illness
with a potential propensity for shooting people? Then, does anyone have an accurate count
of guns available and/or already in the hands of these people?

Manufacturers have a precise count of how many guns have been manufactured. We have a
precise count of the number of people in the USA.

You should have gun control that requires every gun to be accounted for by each and every
person that owns one. This kind of law should not be all that difficult to pass.
Locking up ever potential killer is IMPOSSIBLE.

So, which one do we control? Guns is the obvious answer. Also, no one needs an automatic
gun, so make the manufactures discontinue making them. Guns meant for war should not
be available to any one (other than those in the military that are required to have them).

1. For the most part

Automatic weapons are very difficult to obtain and very expensive. There are very few in public hands and next to none used in crimes.

There is very little appetite for a national gun registry and I think zero chance of passing such a law.

Which 'guns for war' are you under the impression are generally for sale, or a problem, in your view?
