"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Gun Laws Won't Stop Killers
"But what about the “mentally ill?” Shouldn’t something be done to keep guns away from them? Any law that can forbid anyone from owning a gun can be used against you, too, and it still won’t stop the bad guys from getting one anyway."

Absolutely.
If guns should be kept out of the hands of the "mentally ill", all that is needed is to redefine what is "mentally ill".
Already in psychiatric circles there are attempts to make opposition to authority a "disorder". As a matter of fact, they call it "Oppositional Defiant Disorder". It only takes a few minor steps to categorize anti-statists under that moniker.
And we've already seen that in government circles there was an attempt to classify libertarians as potential terrorists.
I certainly hope this does not happen because libertarians are not the only ones whom will be at risk here, matter of fact the whole nation will be at risk. I am thankful that the NRA has persisted over the past 20 years against the United Nations and the Arms Trade Treaty which is currently stalled out and will not be put before the nations to vote on. Hey!!!!!! for the NRA. ( I am a member) and I carry concealed.
Browne says Direct action is difficult, but I am thankful for those who have choosen Direct Action rather than setting back on their fat butts and letting things happen. Freedom is not free.
