3. This! The 'desire' for guns is a sign of disturbed individuals

Before anyone gets a gun they ought be subject to an inquiry about their desires, perceived needs, expected solutions to satisfying these egoic feelings of lack and thus needs.

A gun is to be shunned until shoved in one's hand for National defense.
Especially true for those who feel 'disturbed by (fill in the blank)'; a gun may not be the sane solution, and thus the gun needs be denied.

Personally paraphrasing President Kennedy's admonition, understand and choose wisely between 'do for' and 'take from'.
