Not a gun owner (except for a bb rifle).
I believe in the 2nd amendment.
As for these shooters, rules and regulations regarding gun ownership only serve to restrict the ability of those that should be able to obtain them. It will not serve as a deterrent for any of these mental-defectives to prevent them from doing harm on a large scale. Background checks will not weed out those that haven't been diagnosed for or are hiding their sociopathic issues.
How could any background check find out if someone hasn't been diagnosed as manic-depressive or schizophrenic? Will they find out if he/she isn't taking their meds?
If things continue down the path they seem to be heading right now (no changes see to be on the horizon), it may be more prudent to let everyone that wants to have a gun have one. With this would be the added responsibility of the gun owners and added punishments that would result from abusing the right to own the gun.
