It curbs easy access to weapons for say, people with mental health issues.
Here's a better one.
"If the mentally ill are committing these mass shootings..
...why repeal a bill prohibiting the mentally ill from getting guns?"

72 People Killed Resisting Gun Confiscation in Massachussetts
Boston – National Guard units seeking to confiscate a cache of recently banned assault weapons were ambushed by elements of a Para-military extremist faction. Military and law enforcement sources estimate that 72 were killed and more than 200 injured before government forces were compelled to withdraw.
Speaking after the clash, Massachusetts Governor Thomas Gage declared that the extremist faction, which was made up of local citizens, has links to the radical right-wing tax protest movement.
Gage blamed the extremists for recent incidents of vandalism directed against internal revenue offices. The governor, who described the group’s organizers as “criminals,” issued an executive order authorizing the summary arrest of any individual who has interfered with the government’s efforts to secure law and order.
The military raid on the extremist arsenal followed wide-spread refusal by the local citizenry to turn over recently outlawed assault weapons.
Gage issued a ban on military-style assault weapons and ammunition earlier in the week. This decision followed a meeting in early this month between government and military leaders at which the governor authorized the forcible confiscation of illegal arms.
One government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, pointed out that “none of these people would have been killed had the extremists obeyed the law and turned over their weapons voluntarily.”
Government troops initially succeeded in confiscating a large supply of outlawed weapons and ammunition. However, troops attempting to seize arms and ammunition in Lexington met with resistance from heavily-armed extremists who had been tipped off regarding the government’s plans.
During a tense standoff in the Lexington town park, National Guard Colonel Francis Smith, commander of the government operation, ordered the armed group to surrender and return to their homes. The impasse was broken by a single shot, which was reportedly fired by one of the right-wing extremists.
Eight civilians were killed in the ensuing exchange.
Ironically, the local citizenry blamed government forces rather than the extremists for the civilian deaths. Before order could be restored, armed citizens from surrounding areas had descended upon the guard units. Colonel Smith, finding his forces over matched by the armed mob, ordered a retreat.
Governor Gage has called upon citizens to support the state/national joint task force in its effort to restore law and order. The governor also demanded the surrender of those responsible for planning and leading the attack against the government troops.
Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, and John Hancock, who have been identified as “ringleaders” of the extremist faction, remain at large.
There are already multiple laws against murder but it hasn't stopped people from killing each other, has it?

Cute, how many rounds did their musket hold? That's what I thought.
3500 Americans died at 911 500k were effected in the past several years with cancer from exposure. Planes were taken over with a box cutter.. muskets had repeating rounds also. Not all muskets were single shot lol. #researchbeforetalking
School Mass shooting in West Virginia years ago. 14 murdered with a musket. Bottom line guns aren't going anywhere no matter how much Russia puts into marches in US. If you don't like move to a country that doesn't allow guns. Bye.
1054.. 7, 10 , 15. Muscket ball at close range is more deadly then 556 round... if your shot in the leg with a typical 556 or 223 it passes through. If your shot with a musket ball in the leg it will completely destroy the entire area amputation likely. Similar to a shot gun shooting a slug... so really ALL guns need to go, right?
10:54.....boy, did you miss the point.
