Speaking of Timothy Mcveigh, how many people did he kill without firing a shot? Guns don't make killers, they are born or created, and a gun is just one of many tools. I'm all in favor of stricter licensing requirements. Yearly medical/mental health checkups, and you can own any gun you want seems fair to me. People that should be allowed to own guns can have whatever they want without society having to "trust" them to be good, and the crazies that really shouldn't have something that dangerous readily available will not be able to legally own/obtain them. Still leaves guns in the hands of the criminal element, but thats a whole other issue that really has little to do with laws as those they seek to control ignore them anyway. Banning something because of what it is capable of is extremely short sighted, and will have very little desired effect except robbing honest law abiding people of something they truly enjoy, whatever aspect that may be.
