16. Voting, books, newspapers, etc., are not designed to kill people, as firearms are.

Being obsessed with mechanisms designed to kill and that are used on an almost daily basis in this country to kill innocent people is a mental health issue. We need to do two things.
1. - Figure out a way to keep firearms away from these people. Using the No-Fly list might be a good start.
And 2. - Reduce the number of firearms floating around in this country. Make them harder to buy/acquire. The number of People having firearms is only about 30 to 35 percent of the population, while the number of firearms is approaching our population numbers. Something is very wrong here. It is long past time to put a stop to the slaughter.
