President Obama, Mayor Bloomberg, etc are fond of saying that "if one life is saved" banning assualt weapons, high capacity mags, etc is worth it. I disagree.

If a background check stopped one Cho though, which it would have, if the mental health records were correlated with identity. I think that would be worth it.

Could he have maybe then got a firearm on the black market? Sure...maybe, but he wouldn't have got one legally.
