We have the right to bear arms, but that right can be taken away - for example, we do not allow felons to own fire arms. Simple enough. Now, we need to expand this to anyone with mental issues.
I know what you will all say - But the gun owner didn't have mental illness, her son did. (Her son, the shooter, had some kind of personality disorder.) Again, very simple - if you have someone living in your house who has any kind of mental illness problems AND OR anger management problems, you are banned from owning any firearms.
