We desperately need to reform our gun laws

How many children have to die, Or bystanders killed before we have some major gun law reform. How hard is it to say if you have a mental illness you can not buy a gun in America. Another thing shouldn’t only our military and police be able to carry assault weapons on our streets. I am for the right to bear arms, I own a rifle, and support people being able to protect their homes, but surely we must admit those with mental diseases should not be able to own a weapon and assault weapons should only be carried by military, law enforcement, and special training security services etc.
