10. That's the catch
Your statement:

<<My heart doesn't bleed because reasonable people deem it appropriate to have some measure of control over who is allowed to have guns in this country.>>

Who gets to decide who is reasonable, those who hate guns and would make sure that it would be easier to deal crack then to own one?

Or perhaps the hunting enthusiast, who sees no problem with using an AK-47 to hunt rabbits?

For me it would be someone who respects the Constitution and does not got out of there way to make it too easy or too difficult to own a gun.


That's a reasonable person in my definition.

As for those with mental problems, a person who has to be committed involuntarily should not have access to a gun, while someone who seeks professional help should face some restrictions.
