And I know from experience with my family that mental illness is hidden, protected and cannot be quantified by the government.

It's a tough situation. But there *are* things we can do to not only greatly improve gun violence, but all violence, and society generally.

Well good luck with that. My brother was a gun nut and there was no reasoning with him.

Again, it's not the guns. It's the society. Gun owners know they, themselves, are not a danger, so they'll never give it up.

Yeah, they aren't a danger until they are. Like I said, mental illness is not something that can be quantified or controlled especially now.

Is your position that since mental illness can't be controlled or quantified that guns should be outlawed?

No. jeez My position is that assault weapons and modifications to make them automatic have no place in a society. They are weapons of war.

And, even though we are divided in this country more than we have been since the civil war, we are not at war with each other.
