I have owned a weapon since I was 11 years old. I took the NRA safety course in the Boy Scouts at 12. At 14 I shot my first deer and continued to hunt rabbit and quail until I went in the service. While in the Marines I fired competitively in two Division matches in Okinawa and Camp Pendleton received 16 Expert badges during time in service. I think I can consider myself a responsible gun owner. Here is what I believe about the 2nd Amendment: Everybody has a right to own a weapon but not everybody should have one without a thorough background check this includes removing HIPAA protection for mental health issues. I have weapons now and they service one purpose and that is the protection of my family and my property.

I can see that being ripe for Government abuse.

Billy, I am open for suggestions on how to stop school and church shootings. The killing of innocents does not sit well with me.

Nor with me Eddie. I would always be open to psychiatric evaluations on a case-by-case basis but whose cases and what cases and who gets to decide? And what about all of the inner-city killings that go on every day with non-legal guns?
Maybe it's time to reopen all of the psychiatric hospitals that the Carters closed and maybe it's time to take another look at the death penalty.
I've always been a proponent of the death penalty in an eye-for-an-eye kinda way. I'm going to hell for the things I've done in my life anyway.

Maybe like so?

I am not going to get into the politics on who did what to what. If you have notes in your health records of mental health issues identified by a professional clinical mental health specialist then you should been denied access to a weapon. With regards to the death penalty, no disagreement there but, keep in mind it has never been deterrent to future crimes. Maybe if the method was so horrific and public the results might be different but I doubt it.

Dead criminals do not reoffend, sounds like a deterrent to me!

For one person!, the one that committed the act.
