I guess my biggest issue with the argument that says if gun laws were different, shootings like that wouldn't happen, is that criminals aren't going to follow gun laws. Laws can stop them purchasing guns and ammo, but if they REALLY want to get their hands on a weapon, they will find a way to do so.
Wasn't it the elementary school shooting where the guy took his mom's or dad's gun? Man, I need to pay more attention to these things.
But the point is, gun laws get more strict, and tie the hands of people who would only protect themselves and their families, while criminals still do whatever they want to do.
And all I'm saying is that if someone's going to even so much as threaten me with a gun, I don't want to be standing there twiddling my thumbs.
