Are you trying to defend him or attack me for wanting something to be done.  Nothing that you said changes the fact that people are dead.  I would have real laws to go after and track illegal weapons.  Obviously it wasn't hard for him to find right? What is actually wrong with you?  Gun control isn't about taking everyone's guns. It's about control and we have none right bone.  I am sick of the 'Oh well' mentality. 

All I did was ask a question. What type of gun control you think we are lacking that could have prevented this is a perfectly legitimate question, when called upon to form new laws, is it not? 

Who knows how hard it was for him to find. He could've been planning this for months now, and it took that long to get the illegal gun. 

"Real laws to go after and track illegal weapons" is vague. 

Nothing that you said changes the fact that people are dead either. Which is why I inquired on how that fact could've been prevented. 

It wasn't an "oh well" mentality, it was questioning you on specific policy proposals, because you want action to take place. Well, "what sort of action?" was my question. Reactions like yours are why pro-gun rights people exited the legislative debate long ago. The demand is for "something" to be done, without specifying a specific something that would've changed the conditions on which this were possible. 

Oh, well first we need somthing to weed out insane people from owning a firearm.  Like that is top priority. 

Next if this guy was able to get military  grade weapons, then the supplier should be charged with treason and we need to get them off the streets.  I'm In the city, cash rewards were used to turn over illegal guns no questions asked.

Third, and this goes without saying but high traffic areas need to have systems in place to detect guns.  People need to be able to go to concerts with worried about crazy people with itchy fingers.

Gun ownership like driver license ownership should be considered a privilege not a right and safety must be put first.  Let sellers know that if they sell someone a gun and then they kill someone and you didn't check their background, you also broke the law.  I can sell you are car as a dealer if you aren't licenced.

 

Andwhats wrong with classes to teach people gun safety and making it required as an owner?

 

Oh and I am all for search and seizure of illegal weapons.
