Chucking the acquisition of means of self defence, is a symptom of willful abdication of one's own fundamental right to life, liberty and honour. The only ones to actively abet that are lazy, short-sighted societies.
Such head-in-sand societies want to falsely believe that they can somehow circumvent violence forever & everywhere. Guess what, you can't. There is literally no way to completely prevent or circumvent violence ever. Neither in wildlife nor in human societies.
The issue runs deeper than just Arms acts or availability of weapons. It is of an escapist human psyche that keeps yearning for an excuse to outsource the ab initio responsibility of self protection. It has never worked and never will. You have to accept it,
3d Cir. rejects challenge to fed. ban on firearm possession by people who have in the past been adjudicated mentally ill or committed to a mental institution.

At the end of its opinion the court notes that it is not perpetuating the stigma around mental illness, but does not consider whether the historical prohibition on firearm possession was animated by that stigma.
And it's unfortunate to see how the Court views the protection afforded by the Second Amendment as a good that can be forfeited rather than an always-existing prohibition on government conduct.
It would never adjudicate First Amendment speech cases that way.

Fed. court holds California's ban on possession of magazines that hold more than ten rounds violates the Second Amendment right to self-defense in the home. michellawyers.com/wp-content/upl… #RKBA
It's a very readable decision.
The judge characterizes Heller as a simple hardware test in concluding that magazines that hold more than ten rounds are protected.
Hi, #GunSense crowd? I'd like to help you if I could. Let's take a walk, shall we? Here we go: I am a #2A Defender and #ConcealedCarry advocate - WAIT, DON'T RUN AWAY!!!! - but I would also like to end #GunViolence and promote #GunSafety. You alright!? Still with me? Okay.
The realistic way to do this, while protecting our #2A right to keep & bear arms (#RKBA) is to fix and enforce the gun laws already on the books. There should also be harsher penalties for people who 'lie & try' as well as felons found in possession of a weapon. Still good? Good.
We would also fix the background check system (NICS) - FIX, NOT CHANGE - and we know that teaching small children what to do if they ever come across a gun and promoting gun safety to older children PREVENTS accidents, so we'd like to do that, too.
