Oregon shooter Another depressing mass shooting tragedy. Guns deserve some of the blame, but so do many things. To make a fire you need fuel, heat and a spark. Remove one of these three and no fire. To make a mass murder you need guns or explosives, a mentally deranged person and untreated mental illness, with no loving family and friends to support better mental health. Guns only make the<b> violent </font></b>urges more easily able to cause mass death. A strict and accurate background check only turns up people with a criminal past or mental health commitment to a mental hospital. So the first tragedy is not able to be averted by background checks. A ban on more than ten bullets in a semi auto pistol magazine is solved by carrying four pistols so 40 can be shot and killed.

The NRA proposes arming everyone and there would be regular shoot outs between the good guys and the bad guys. Does that sound like there would be more of fewer deaths in the NRA heaven on Earth?

Do we ban baseball when they use bats when the guns are gone? There is no simple solution.
