Only thing I disagree with is the mental health comment. This is a mental health issue. And it's a gun issue. It's both, they're not mutually exclusive.

Mental health is the "not all men" distraction of the gun control debate.

It should be beyond obvious that not everyone who engages in gun violence is mentally ill, so steps toward gun control should not be premised on limiting the problem (and solutions) to that population.

As hard as it may be for some to comprehend, many people engage in gun violence because they a) are dumb, angry people b) with poor impulse control, who c) have insanely easy access to guns and ammunition.

Dumb/Angry+Impulsive+Guns = violence just as much as mentally ill+guns = violence. The common factor equaling violence in those equations is pretty plain to see.
