Making a prohibition work is hard if the People want what is prohibited.

I think both sides could agree that felons and the insane should be prohibited weapons, but it seems hard to have any sort of due process that works on the insane.  One could try.  The hole is there.  The law does not stand in the way.  It just seems that no one can make it work without 20 20 hindsight.  Thus you get some daydreaming about total prohibitions, which the law does stand in the way of.

The insane seem to have changed the culture.  If one is going to commit suicide these days, one seeks the publicity of taking some innocents with them.  The media is providing the publicity.  I don't see it as the government's place to force censorship on the press, but the press deciding not to profit so much on the death of innocents seems possible.
