re: Why are we allowing things to continually separate us as a nation?

People blame guns for problems and want to regulate the item itself when the truth is we have a mental health problem. This needs to be more monitored and reported in schools and those who come back from War or any PTSD type situations. What happens if people start using different forms of weapons? Do we regulate those, too? The more we regulate, the less chance the average, law abiding citizen has against the bad guys. I understand the whole background check and making sure due diligence is done when buying and am behind that, though. It just has to make sense.

Our focus on a problem is misguided partially because of ignorance and another part for those with political agendas.
