US should control gun

I fully agree with American citizens that there should be a gun control law, especially for psychologically challenged people. As much as I have seen, the psychologically challenged people usually do such things. James Holmes, the 'Batman Shooter' was mentally ill, but had easy access to firearms which allowed him to go on a crazy massacre. In the Connecticut incident, Adam Lanza was also mentally ill. These acts were strictly condemned by the US government and the whole world. The USA really needs to control the spread of firearms. Also, a child took a gun with him to school to protect himself. And anti-Islam extremists fired at a Sikh temple thinking that they were Muslims. The USA now needs to ponder these tragedies and take due action. Perhaps each person who owns firearms should go through a mental test. Or perhaps firearms should be banned for civilians. We can only hope that they take a decision which would prevent this kind of tragedy.
