Why More Americans Want to Own Guns

[Angrboda]

I personally think that the answer is a combination of smart guns and a more-thorough regimen of background checks, including regular mental-health checks.

If you own the means to deal death, you owe it to society to demonstrate your mental soundness.

Mental soundness is of little value in predicting who will go on to abuse or misuse firearms. You might as well regulate them based on hair color for all the relation it has to what you would want to prevent.
