So, instead of guns, you'd rather have some nutjob throwing hand grenades or poisonous gas bombs into crowds ??
As tragic as this is..... the person doing this was determined to do this and he would've done it even if guns were outlawed. A nut like this will either find illegal guns or another means of taking others out.
I'm all for more probing for background checks in licensing guns to individuals, but not taking the guns away from honest citizens. Eventually, we will become completely defenseless against any kind of threat if these laws are changed.
This thread is about the poor children, the teachers and the families involved. Perhaps we could take a gun debate up in another thread, if we keep politics out of it.
