Oh Barb. This makes me so sad and so mad! I heard the governor of Texas say the problem was mental health! I wanted to shoot him! That may be part of the problem but the problem is everyone has such easy access to guns, and it's so ingrained into their mentality. John Howard ,for all his failings, had the gumption to ban all unlicensed guns within 2 weeks of the Port Arthur Massacre and hundreds of thousands of guns were surrendered. When my husband showed signs of mental instability, his guns were confiscated.
