Sometimes people kill others simply because they are in the way. Only one thing can overcome all motives to kill: the conviction that every human life is sacred.”Chaput went on to explain that disrespect for life is stained into the fabric of American culture, through abortion, the death penalty, assisted suicide - currently legal in eight states and the District of Columbus - violent video games, disrespect for the elderly and morbid fascination with the bloody details of each new shooting. The list goes on.

Want to prevent the next mass shooting? Give everyone a gun, allow them to carry it everywhere, and hope they fend off the killer.
That’s the idea from prominent gun-rights activists and politicians who insist that deadly mass shootings — including those at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, and Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina — could have been prevented if only the victims had been allowed to bring firearms inside. The argument goes something like this: Places where guns are banned don’t just leave people defenseless, they attract shooters intent on killing as many people as possible. Restricting gun access isn’t just bad policy, it’s a danger to every American. (On the campaign trail, President Donald Trump went so far as to call gun-free zones “candy for bad people” and promised to do away with them “on my first day.”) The only way we can prevent attacks is by arming ordinary citizens in all the places ordinary citizens go, the theory holds.

In fact, people with mental health disorders are more likely to be victims of a violent crime (up to 10 times more likely than the general population) than the perpetrators. A 2011 meta analysis found that to prevent one homicide of a person unknown to the perpetrator, 35,000 patients with schizophrenia judged to be at high risk of violence would need to be detained. Similarly, few U.S. mass shootings have been committed by people who were “mentally ill;” there is a much stronger correlation with other issues, like domestic violence. Finally, people with mental illness are much more likely to hurt themselves than others. Two-thirds of gun deaths in this country are suicides, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

In 2016, in U.S. Senate races, the NRA donated $34 million, with the strings — that the recipient had to vote no on any new gun legislation.
