Personally, I think guns are a nice sound-bite-able issue that the mass media can latch onto in order to distract Americans from asking the important questions about mental health - such as, "Why are we still holding to a system of mental health care that was largely defunded and defanged by Reagan's cuts back in the 80's?" I mean, the reason is obvious, it's that to question Saint Reagan would be tantamount to career suicide for a politician, but still.
