Why do human beings always think they have to control everything? There are a million threats in everyday life that one can feel "powerless" to control. Car accidents, heart attacks, you name it. Why the mental gyrations over "common sense" gun control but not other possibilities?

The only "common sense" gun control I would be willing to debate is the purchase/ownership of surface to air missiles, anti-tank weapons, grenades, etc.
