If you read the above post you'll see that I say that you shouldn't punish
everyone because a few people can't handle guns. Therefor we shouldn't
outlaw the use of vehicles because some people don't know how to drive. I
say; periodic checkups on your driving skills,...you suck at it, go back to
learn. Periodic psych-evaluation for everyone who wants to be armed...you
don't pass,...you don't get the gun.
