Let's try this again, maybe this time someone can answer the question.

21. All good points

I REALLY do understand your thoughts and those of others on not being able to legislate safety for the obsessive, committed. I think you are all correct. We live at the mercy of our fellow man. A committed killer will do what he is going to do regardless of the law.

Where I come down on this is I think it is a proper role of government to do what it can to limit the public from the risk of merely unstable, but less committed potential killers WITHOUT unduly restricting the rights of law abiding citizens.

How we do that is the rub. It would seem to me that well meaning folks from both sides of the issue should be able to figure that out. Unfortunately, I think the issue is so hyper-politicized it makes it hard to build consensus on what is rational / reasonable.
