re: #39 Temporarily Embarrassed Millionaire

I didn’t state any criteria for identifying lunatics.

This is not a problem with simple solutions. We can’t abide a “Minority Report” society that jails people for things they might theoretically do in the future (although in certain situations we’re dangerously close to that anyway).

And there are already something like 270 million guns in private ownership in the US. If you want to know what complete prohibition would accomplish, you need look no further than the “war on drugs”.

It is clear you account for the guns in laws to limit their possessions and not try to account for human psyches.
