Today we have two tragedies caused most probably by young mentally ill males. One killed twenty children and he second wounded twenty. He first used firearms the second knives.
You also have to step away from this myth that guns increase freedom. How is enabling slaughter of children the sweet smell of children? It is collective responsibility when you have laws enabling it.
Until you either properly enforce gun ownership to the mentally sound it is your collective responsibility. It is called liberty not freedom, it is a form of freedom within the law hat carries responsibility. So either step up the regulation of firearms and test the mental state of owners at least as regularly as car licenses or reduce gun ownership across the board.
End of the day it might be an individual killing your children, but is the community that allowed him access to the tools. The choice was his, but as he was mentally ill the responsibility lies on the community around him. So start looking at enforcing regulation that minimizes access to firearms to specifically the mentally ill, if the communities don't have hat ability to be that specific either a wider ban or regulation of the firearms is needed for the security of the state. Or you will just have to accept that this is going to be a typical outcome of a non holistic outlook of a poorly supported law.
