Do you really think that not being able to legally purchase a weapon will deter a really committed crazy person? Do you believe that the majority of violent crimes in your community are committed with legal guns? If so, I'd encourage you to do some research on teh subject. Most guns used in teh commission of a violent crime are illegally obtained.
They become illegally obtained because guns are so prevalent in this culture that I can break into a house and steal a gun, or go buy one, file off the serial number and sell the gun to a crook, report it stolen and I am off the hook.
If guns were not everywhere, it would not be so easy to have millions of them floating around to be obtained illegally.
