I see the "mental illness" thing touted often when these killing sprees occur, so I guess we can be thankful that Trump reversed Obama's ban on selling guns to mentally ill people... Wait, what??

Wouldn't tighter gun regulations help quell the culture of violence? Only a gun-fetishist would advocate for the right to own an AR-15, seeing as how there's no practical use for them outside of military applications -- use it to hunt and there won't be anything left to eat/display, use it to protect your home and the bullets go through your wall and into your neighbor's home... Not to mention that people who fetishize guns are definitely part of the problem, since they've taken a tool and turned it into a lifestyle/political statement (all of these mass murderers have gun porn plastered all over their Facebook page -- you can see them coming from a mile away).
