Correct. One thing I like are systems that err ob the side of giving freedoms to those who don't deserve it versus one that takes freedoms from the innocent. Maybe this is where you and I differ. I'd rather see a guilty person go free than an innocent person imprisoned. I'd rather see a psycho get a gun than a stable person denied a weapon.
And -could you explain the rationale of limiting a person's rights due to illness? Can you explain why a mentally ill person who has committed no crime should face the same stripping of liberties as a convicted felon, only with the caveat that the government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a crime has been committed in one case while a person must prove that he won't commit one in the other case?

He could have purchased some fertilizer, some ball bearings and rented a truck. But he didn't.
Right. He picked the easiest and most readily available weapon to accomplish him goal. People generally do.
Making bombs is at least an order of magnitude more difficult than pulling a trigger. Further, since the OKC bombing and 9/11, purchasing large quantities of fertilizer sets off a number of actions simply buying a gun does not.
But nice try. Seriously.

Take away their ability to use firearms and maybe they will start making bombs.
Hmmm ... where have we seen that before?
Once again you seem rather fixated on the inanimate object where really you should be asking yourself, what possessed Jared Loughner to commit his premeditated murderous crime? But if you do find yourself asking yourself that question, do yourself a favor and remove yourself from any media sources because they will want you to believe that Sarah Palin, Glen Beck and Rush Limbaugh are the ones to blame, even though there is not a shred of evidence to back up their libel.

His actions were premeditated. He could have chosen to commit his crime in a different location, at a different time with a different tool. The common denominator in all of this was himself (the murderer) and his primary victim (Ms Griffords). For whatever perverse reason, he has had issues with her for a number of years now and many innocent people (including Ms Griffords) now suffer because of this mad man.
Blame the murderer, not the inanimate object(s) he used to commit his crime with.
