Would I be OK if Guns are totally illegal yes, but I also realize it's not going to happen.
Thus Semi, and Auto weapons make these types of mass killings much easier and that is why the focus needs to be on these weapons. If this guy walked in and had to reload after every shot, I can only imagine in this case and many others, the death total is much much lower.
So you are never going to get rid of guns, but things that make mass killings easier are where the start needs to be.
I think in California owning an illegal oozie is a $500 fine. Thats really pushing the limit.
Governments should have a buyback program for 6 months. Small % of the value, but alleviates the owner from going to jail as the punishment needs to be much higher.
Agreed. This devil killed those kids with semi-automatic weapons at close range. At that close a range I imagine there will be all closed casket funerals. There has to be some commonsense restrictions. Even 70%+ of NRA members believe background checks should be tougher and there should be some commonsense restrictions. You will never be able to prevent evil from happening or having someone snap but you can limit the casualties.
The president needs to lead on this. I don't want to hear him saying the same shit after another shooting spree or shedding anymore tears. There comes a time when a leader must take a position that is neither safe nor popular but he must take it because conscience tells him that it is right. If the murders in Chicago didn't do it then the 20 babies losing their lives should.
