I know! I'm preaching to the choir. But hear me out. In this opinion piece from CNN.com
http://www.cnn.com/2014/05/28/opinion/ghitis-isla-vista-killing/index.html?hpt=op_t1
The author makes some fairly typical gun control statements. But what struck me most was a comment on making it easier to commit someone who may be mentally ill.
Like that would be some panacea that the anti's and 2A supporters could all rally behind together.
I obviously think we should do our best as a country to make sure that dangerous criminals and mentally unstable people don't have access to deadly weapons. But I find it very disturbing this author and many like her believe that taking away anyone's rights (2a, being involuntarily committed) would be an effective and equitable answer.
TL DR: Amazing that certain groups have no qualms at all about trampling other peoples rights.
