If you want to take on criminals and guns, by all means go for it. Leave the law abiding out of it.
The problem is that with something like 300mm legal guns in circulation, there AREN'T any 'minimal' restrictions that would have any meaningful impact on criminal activity. The restrictions would have to be so great as to reduce that number by perhaps half to remove a small fraction of the guns in criminal circulation.

This is key. Nut jobs might plan, but they don't usually get help. Kliebold and Harris, McVeigh and helpers and these guys aren't nut jobs.... other than in the sense that anyone who does this sort of thing isn't 'right in the head'. Someone obviously being encouraged/finding a partner in their anger/hatred/whatever isn't going to be fixed by mental health reforms. Mental health like all others has to be sought after and desired by the patient. You can't get that when others are encouraging and fostering your anger.

DUMB DUMB DUMB move on their part. Atheists can be vocal, but they aren't going to support the Daily News much more than they already do for 'taking on' religion.... but Christians, even moderate ones are going to be pissed off.
Yes, controversy sells, but if you're picking a side, pick the one where people are 'invested'... not the one where by definition, they aren't. MANY Atheists don't believe in God or thing praying does any good, but they aren't offended or mocking when people do so in response to tragedy.
The REAL wonder is that this is obviously a coordinated effort. What moron decided this is a 'winning' position? The religious (of ALL denominations) are vested, and the atheists are not.
