I wonder if they are going to go to all the convicted felons and remove their guns as well? Don't hold your breath.

Are these "mentally disturbed" people allowed to own kitchen knives? automobiles? baseball bats? swimming pools? ladders? matches?

Why isn't anyone afraid they will kill someone with something else?

Because it's not about safety. It's all about control. Back in the 1800's they used gun control to keep guns out of the hands of minorities so they could better control that part of the population. If it was about safety, gun confiscation, so-called "hi-capacity" magazine bans and all the rest would be overcome with the facts that guns in our hands save our lives more than they take them. IMHO.

That's it exactly. Any objective person with half a brain could see the places with the most gun control, Chicago, DC, etc., tend to be the places plagued with crime and violence and corruption. More guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens means more safety, not less.
