Default Re: 27 People Dead, Mostly Children, at Connecticut Elementary School Shooting

Yeah, I focus on the victims when something like this happens also.

The sad truth is, even with tougher gun laws and real bans, things like this will still happen. If somebody is really intent on shooting people, they'll find a way to get a gun as easily as people can get illegal drugs. Right now, the majority of gun sales are taxed and regulated. If you ban guns, black market sales will skyrocket and all regulation and tax dollars will go bye bye. So, it's a great sounding idea to ban guns. However, once you weigh the practicality of it, you see that it won't work. Sure, it works in other countries, but those countries are a lot smaller than the US and probably don't have all of the gun advocates that we do.

Though, if it were up to me, I'd still ban them. I don't and won't own guns. Like Auditor, if I want to shoot something, I just play a video game. Also, I think I still have an Airsoft and a couple regular pellet guns around here somewhere.
