horrible news. Heart goes out to the family's and friends.

as far as the gun problem. Most gun owners are not violent people at all and guns shouldnt be banned (well maybe automatic rifles/high powered rifles).

the problem is how easy it is for someone who is mentally ill to get there hands on a weapon and ammo when there is guns every where for purchase for anyone of anykind of gun.

There should be more harder restrictions involved in owning a fire arm. Make it harder to get a hold of one in all means for a better cause such as proper interviews,back ground check stronger tests and so forth.

its a very tough subject to debate. But somthing needs to be done. Mental illness is a on a huge rise and the easy acsess of weapons doesnt help.

In this case, mental checks would have done nothing. He killed his mother and took her weapons.

The background checks already prevent people from owning guns if they have mental issues. In the case of Jared Loughner, the Sheriffs failed to flag him (which they should have), which allowed him to own a gun.

The restrictions are there. The issue is that they aren't enfroced. Additionally, do we know how the weapons were stored? For all we know, they were in a gun case.

he broke over 40 laws in his dispicable rampage. yet people think another one would have prevented this?! lest not forget too that CT has the 5th strictist gun laws in the US according to the right wing propaganda orginization... the Brady Campaign... wait what
