If they were hearing voices telling them to do that or something might happen to them, how do you control that? .

More often than not the perpetrator of acts of violence is sick in the head.
The knife attacks in China yesterday were committed by a schizophrenic. The shooter in CT yesterday was allegedly schizophrenic and on meds as were the Aurora theater, Loughner, Cho, and virtually all the others.

Life. The OP wants to put all schizophrenics in a big apartment complex and let them live out their days there to protect us from them.

Can you point to some (reputable) links to the stories where it states that the attack in China yesterday and the Connecticut shooter are schizophrenics.

Register them, house them in a complex, make their families take out insurances to protect the rest of us from them.

So you want to protect pieces of metal instead of your citizens with a disability.
Can we ban you too?

No, I cant. Several that refer to them as "mentally ill" and even "mental patients" but not specifically schizophrenia.
Shouldnt I be granted the same level of authoritative ignorant certainty that so many reporters and pundits are granted when they discuss firearms? I've learned that I dont need to know anything about what I am complaining about to be taken as an authoritative source. I just need to scan Twitter and read scary numbers that make no sense like "two hundred and twenty three caliber" rifle.
It doent matter if Im talking out of my ass because afraid people will listen and believe and politicians will in turn enact legislation based on what the people believe.

I want to protect society and this is more efficient and will result in more net benefits than going after pieces of metal.
