If a person has been institutionalized by a court they shouldn’t have access to a gun. At least until they are cleared by a doctor. Other than that, I think we’re good. We can come up with a million reasons not to let citizens have the right to have firearms. The answer is….it’s our right, period. Once you start compromising who can or can’t defend themselves (other than what is currently illegal) you might as well give up that right. The question should be how to stop mass shootings, not how to take rights away from free citizens. We’ve had enough school shootings. How are these people getting in? Nobody should be able to get into a school unless they’re buzzed in at a central access point. Nobody should be able to leave an outside door open without an alarm going off to notify armed security (armed with rifles). We must come up with better security solutions for schools, it’s that simple. This shouldn’t be this hard! So instead of politicians making excuses and blaming guns, they should be the ones answering how are these people getting into our schools! Then, what changes have they implemented to keep these people out. You can’t kill people you can’t get to.</p></blockquote><p></p>
