Gun control wouldn't have stopped this event. Unless we systematically destroy every gun owned by the general populace and come up with a way to enforce the strictest gun control on the planet, some idiot will always have access to a firearm, ammunition, and (very unfortunately) people at which to shoot.
Oddly enough, if we outlaw guns, gun crime will escalate to seemingly enormous proportions, since the simple act of owning a gun will become a crime.
EdWort said:It's gun control that creates these "Gun Free Zones" where people are supposed to be "Safe".
All they do is stop law abiding people from being able to defend themselves.
Kooks & Criminals love "Gun Free Zones" because "Gun Control" has made them very safe....Safe for the Kook & Criminal.
Pugilist said:Its an interesting topic and can get heated. I work in law enforcement and always carry concealed when off duty. The shame is the right to bear arms which we all know about is just abused. I work with plenty of guys who hunt, and know plenty of civilian/military/and LE that are responsible gun owners.
By control I personally mean some way to regulate where guns end up. I think the most evident thing is that we have way too many weapons in this country floating around in the wrong channels. When you compare our violent crimes involving firearms to European or other foreign countries it is astounding the difference. What do they do right that we do so wrong to maintain control on this?

cowgo said:Well, you don't read about this happening in England. Stricter gun control laws there, or less of a f$%#% up culture? I agree with the NRA...and for that reason I think it's time to repeal the second amendment.

cowgo said:Nice link, but again, do you read about these types of massacres in England? Rhetorical question...no, you don't. What's the difference there from here?
If it's not gun control....please let it be CAMRA.

There are plenty of ways to kill people if you want to - society needs to stop letting TV and the internet raise their kids.

England and Wales have the highest crime rate among the world's leading economies, according to a new report by the United Nations.
The survey, which is likely to prove embarrassing to David Blunkett, the Home Secretary. shows that people are more likely to be mugged, burgled, robbed or assaulted here than in America, Germany, Russia, South Africa or any other of the world's 20 largest nations. Only the Dominican Republic, New Zealand and Finland have higher crime rates than England and Wales.

The problem could very well be resolved before it even starts.
EdWort said:Armed citizens, however, can reduce the amount of senseless killing by a major factor by taking out the wacko early in his quest.
Soulive said:I don't disagree with that, but how do you guarantee those armed citizens aren't potentially wackos? I'm clueless when it comes to guns, but would they have to pass emotional/psychological tests?
EdWort said:Here in Texas you have to pass a VERY stringent background check to be able to carry concealed. No felonies, no misdemeanors, no substance abuse, no psych problems, etc. You are fingerprinted and both the local and FBI run checks. This is after 10 hours of training and a written and practical exam.
CHL holders tend to be the most law abiding citizens out there (at least in Texas) due to the process to obtain the privilege.
