This is one I really don't know what to do. It is certainly easy and makes perfect sense to try to prevent the mentally ill from buying a gun but there are so many mentally Ill people that are not a danger to themselves or others. Who decides? Who is responsible if someone slips though the cracks? Really complex although it is safe to say anyone that has attempted suicide should not be allowed to buy a gun. Maybe some others that are straight forward.

It really may come down to the reality that there is evil in the world and regardless of our efforts they will do some evil things and people will suffer. To put it all in context nazism and fascism killed millions of people and communinism killed tens of millions. Maybe we need to come to grips with the potential for evil and focus on protecting who we can. The good news for Christians is our belief that life is short and eternity is forever and maybe we can take comfort that our temporal existence is not quite as important as we make it out to be.

As for your comment about Obamacare you don't want me to get started. That's a whole other topic. :-)
