I honestly don't think gun control is going to solve the problem. Anything can be used and will be used as a weapon in the wrong hands. Most of the mass shootings we are witnessing are coming from people with a severe form of mental illness. They want to commit suicide by cop (sorry) because it is cowardly and they can go out in a blaze of glory. They feel worthless and unimportant. This is one way to get recognition, to get 15 minutes of fame. Perhaps we need to look at where the problem originates instead of slapping a band aid on it. Okay, now I'm off my soap box.

I'm not for "gun control" either and agree the underlying problem is the real issue but I really think my age amendment idea would be positive step in the right direction without infringing on our rights.
I don't know if Walmart and Dicks Sporting Goods read my article or not but ironically, they changed their store policy to no sales under 21 today.
It would be nice to think that they read your article and that you are being heard! Age restrictions help in some instances, but both you and I know that there are folks over age restrictions that shouldn't even be allowed to cross the street by themselves, or drive a car or be allowed to buy alcohol...
And there's a bunch out there that shouldn't even be allowed to breed!
