Nobody is coming to take your guns. Get that though your thick heads. Any such action would be nothing short of civil war,
Keeping people that are bughouse crazy away from guns is not the same thing as taking everyone's guns away. When you try to equate the two, you look like a moron.

The latest game of media/politicians/public is to blame shootings on mentally ill folks. Amazing how these "mentally ill" folks can plan for weeks, months, even years...and succeed. Entrepreneurs of sorts. More than a whole lot of "sane" folks are capable, folks who cherish their weapons while viewing life as an expendable vulnerable asset.

^I don’t think we could classify these folks as sane, at least not during the time of their shootings or bombings. Their
grievances with society seemed to be varied from the politically motivated Tim McVeigh, Theodore Kaczynsk, Terry Nichol,
Jared Loughner to the seemly unexplained.
I don’t think we can say mental illness is a determining factor, mental illness can’t be defined, it’s as varied as individualism.
But it just takes an extraordinary event to put a seemly strong mind over the edge, I witnessed this in the Military.
I own some firearms, I don’t have a conceal carry permit, just don’t feel the need but if you do I’m okay with that.
I’m not up on all the current restrictions on gun purchasing but I don’t think making manufactures or dealers liable will
help.
How do you predict when where and what type of event pushes a person over the edge?
I don’t have the answer, I see both sides of this argument, I’d be sick if one of my family was killed in this senseless violence.

Great post.
I see no solution also. In one way or another I see nearly all mass killings as revenge or frustration. The mass killer apparently sees not just one individual deserving of revenge, but possibly society itself.
How many among us have considered revenge attacks? More than would admit, of course.
Revenge is not a sign of insanity. Neither is killng. I believe the media, etc are creating a myth around this issue, a myth to hide a natural human condition, a dark side they are unwilling to face. Laws and their consequences also help hide this dark side. We see what happens in areas of the world where little law exists. Are all these overseas mass killings with bombs, guns, machetes due to insanity? I think not. It's humans being human... minus respect for the idea of protective laws. If breaking laws is insane then we are all insane.
