Point is you cant stop this sort of cruel and human sickness by law. There will always be a workaround for the insane mind.
Crazy insane behavior has but one consequence in my mind, swift justice at the hands of law abiding people.
You can pass all the laws you want. This sort of thing cannot be regulated by law or man. This is a sick human mind, very very sick. It must be caught and dealt with swiftly....fat chance.
You're probably right about the assault guns ban, but everything else is the same gun-advocating BS that is so common with all the owners on this board and in general for that matter.
Maybe outlawing guns wouldn't have prevented this coward from doing all this, but it would have prevented thousands of other shootings. Don't come up with the retarded 'a car can kill too, so revoke all licenses' BS or 'a gun doesn't kill, it's the owner' stupidity. Every rational person acknowledges that when you are in the legal posession of firearms the treshold for using them is much lower, otherwise you'll have to go out on the black-market and purchase one, a relatively difficult and costly task for the average citizen in countries with proper gun laws.
I know this won't persuade you gun-morons, never has, never will probably, but I'll illustrate it with a factual example which can't be denied (the conclusion can, of course).
In the Netherlands firearms are not allowed in public, only on ranges with stringent screening and licensing. Generally you can say we've got the situation being referred to endlessly by the gun-advocates, generally only the criminals have guns. While at first it seems a bad situation in practice it's very acceptable, because virtually all shootings are between organized criminals in remote locations settling accounts etc. This means that domestic, traffic and all other sorts fights are all but solved without firearms, saving thousands of lives. Conclusion:
In a normal society firearms have no place except for game wardens and law enforcement etc.
And in such a society the self-protection argument is BS, as are all other arguments to have the public own guns.
Finally I would like to undermine my relatively coherent argument above by stating: F*ck the NRA, it's sick that a bunch of (semi)-criminal lobbyists have any kind of, let alone this kind of influence in a democratic society.
