We must get a handle on gun control. Ninety percent of Americans are in favor of some degree of limitations on the unbridled access to equipment associated with gun violence, such as large-capacity magazines and assault rifles. Without it, many children at Sandy Hook would still be alive after that mentally imbalanced youth committed his heinous act. Speaking of mental health, that is the stock answer of the National Rifle Association whenever one of these many incidents of gun-toting mass murderers hits the news. They focus on treating mental illness and identifying violence-prone people before they have a meltdown. They indict American society for failing to do so.. It's a distraction. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Is providing weapons to psychologically troubled people a crazy idea? That's the NRA.
