I get it now, you are all afraid that if harder restrictions against the mentally ill come to pass, you all won't be able to live your fantasy of a real life first person shooter game without the consequences aren't you?
Well, if it were up to me, your fears would be quite well justified. lol

Who is saying anything about ban? Why do I constantly have to repeat that Daedalus? When are you going to get over that? That's dishonest Daedalus, I don't want a gun ban, just better more effective gun control measures to make sure that guns aren't getting into the hands of people that would use them for harm.
Why ban a gun? It's an inanimate object.
Hammers have utility beyond being a weapon.
Bats have utility beyond being a weapon.
Knives have utility beyond being a weapon.
Guns have absolutely no utility beyond being a weapon.

More like just making sure the mentally ill get the evaluation and care they need, if their pcp is confident the person is not a danger to themselves or others no restriction would be necessary.
People with obvious paranoid delusions of a fascist government that can only be taken out with small arms? Maybe they might need meds.

Exactly. Murder is illegal. We have laws on the books outlawing murder. Has it stopped? Criminals ignore the law, that is why they are criminals.
Except in most of these mass shooting cases, the perpetrator was not a criminal prior to the act itself and had obtained the firearm legally.
Legal firearms, bought legally, owned by law abiding gun owners, used to commit violent criminal offenses.
