Despicable. I woke up to this news 2 hours ago as well.
He threw canisters of gas. Possessed high powered rifle and hang guns. Was wearing a gas mask and cevlar/ bullet proof vest. The only description I heard was that he was tall slemdar and a muscular build. Name is James Holmes and he was 24.
On the OP wanting to know about gun laws... There is no way u will stop violent crimes with strict gun laws. Normal citizens will abide by the law. Criminals will still be able to get guns on the black market or secretly.
I disagree with the OP on this. If the theatre allowed concealed carry and I was carrying u better b darn sure I would do everything I could to try and stop him. You see this is the problem. Only law abiding citizens will abide by strict laws. If an experienced gunman was there with a concealed weapon they would have had the power to try and stop him before he killed more. |
If they were banned nationwide, it would still be prohibitively difficult. The problem with gun control initiatives is that they haven't been sweeping enough, and that the (no longer necessary) 2nd Amendment is in the way.
And the difference with Switzerland is that they train all citizens of age who are required to maintain those semiautomatics. It's a different country in a different situation than America.

Government cannot simply legislate away evil intent. Governments always have tried to for a long time, but evil intent will always exist. So legislating extensive control won't change it. more government control means less personal freedom and liberty.
