Gun Control Revisited.
Well, the Navy yard shooting has stirred the pot again. Obama is trying to get his agenda on guns up front. He can't win with anything else so he will try guns again. It should be obvious to him and the lawmakers that they have been trying to put out the wrong fire on guns. If the statistics are studied, it is so obvious that two relationships on mass shootings keep cropping up. (1) The last 35 mass shooting incidents have all taken place in "Gun Free Zones". Why don't they eliminate those---they would have to admit they made a mistake when they first identified the zones as safe for the shooters. (2) Most of the shooters are identified as mental poster boys. Now I can hear the screams that the mentally unfit should not be on a list of not being able to have fiirearms. We must make some choices about the mentally ill. First, there must be a way to identify them and a way to see their name is removed from the list if they are considered "cured". If we come up with a new system for the mentally ill, we can watch what happens in the future and see if we were wrong. It should be a changeable system so we can make changes as necessary.
