Another thought................
I grew up with guns. I personally have probably fired more than 20,000 rounds of ammnition in my life. No I am not military either. I KNOW about the culture of guns.
If you look at Pareto's 80/20 rule it applies. Eighty percent of all guns are owned by twenty percent of the gun owners. I would bet a huge amount of my money to say that those twenty percent of gun owners will never lose control and go berserk.
It is the folks who have only a few weapons that are the problem. An arsenal is not made of 4 or 5 guns. Not by a long shot. Although, I think that would be a really good statistic to use in examingin who owns and doesn't own guns - this might be a good way to identify a hot spot if you will.
I think most of these crazy shooters are folks who aquired their guns within a few months of the shooting. Here is a starting point to fix the problem.
