I believe they're talking about common sense changes like better background checks so these mentally ill people can't get guns. Can't this even be discussed without people flipping out?
Clearly not, judging by the score of your comment.
I own several guns but I don't know why people are so scared of the government that they don't think its acceptable to at least make it more difficult for the mentally infirm to obtain weapons.
Common sense gets thrown out the window when the 2nd Ammendment is on the table

When you allow the government to define things, you get directly onto an ice and KY jelly covered side of a 10,000ft mountain. You give an inch, and they'll take a mile.
What if we allowed the gov to set the bar at who is mentally incapable of owning a gun? Does everyone in the entire country now need to go to a shrink before buying each gun? So since I have ADD, does that make me incapable? I've been around guns my entire life, and all of mine serve a purpose (not for toying around). So now some guy who hasn't ever even touched a gun is suddenly more capable than me, and I'm a crazy maniac who's gonna go on a spree?
