Well guess what, if a mentally ill person wants to kill people, they'll find a way. Instead of banning guns, knives, fire, anything that could be an explosive, baseball bats, and hands; maybe we reform the way this country looks at mental illness, and actually get help to those who need it. Certainly effective and feasible than banning all guns. It's like saying we need to ban alcohol and ban cars because too many people each year die from drunk driving incidents. it's just a bandaid that isn't addressing the real issue.
