Should we take away the guns or should we put more energy into jobs programs, mental health programs, anti-bullying programs, empowerment, etc.

It's an excellent point one I have made in other forums. If we go by statics, the mentally ill should be allowed to have guns and not non-mentally ill people because most of the crime and killing is done by nons. But hey I would not want to say all nons are bad
