And that's not wishful thinking. That is statistical fact. The number of households that have guns in them is estimated at between 40 and 55 million. That's a lot of guns that are not used on a person, ever.

So again, you want to remove guns from millions and millions of people to prevent horrible acts that are more rare than deaths from most other causes. How are you going to practically do this?

And do you also keep yourself always encased in bubble wrap, to prevent bumps and bruises? Do you ever drive or ride in a car? Do you ever handle sharp instruments? If you do any of those things, how do you stand the risk???

Easy, go through gun registrations and give the people who have certain types of guns 6 months to turn them in. Easy as fucking pie.And if they refuse fine them to fund the buybacks, and if they still refuse send their sorry asses to jail.

There you go, thats your plan.

"And do you also keep yourself always encased in bubble wrap, to prevent bumps and bruises? Do you ever drive or ride in a car? Do you ever handle sharp instruments? If you do any of those things, how do you stand the risk??? "

I am risking my own body you dumb fuck, not the bodies of 20 innocent children. You are risking the blood of others so you can own a gun. And its even worse because you don't suffer any consequences.

can't believe you tried to make that analogy, shows how shallow you are.

That might work, for some of the guns. Not all are registered. They may have sold the gun to someone else, or claim that anyway. You are talking about a huge bureaucratic nightmare.

And what if they pay the fine, but still refuse to turn in the gun? You going to send the cops to go get them? You expect that to go well? You want more shootings? You want to encourage the militia culture? Because that is what you will get.

It's not shallow. It's perspective. I am in serious grief over the deaths of those children. It is horrific and I have shed tears. But I am adult enough to know there is no simple solution to evil. We can't make it go away with legislation or education. it is a fact of life.

And my analogy was also pointing out that there are many other more common dangers that we accept as part of life, that we don't think we can eradicate. And that to practically try and eradicate all hazards is impossible and foolish.

Enforce it by shutting down gun production and forcing americans to hand over guns. Laws work, thats the real world.

Gitmo the fucking militias. Time for people to stand up to the gun nutters.

No hazard kills and maims like guns. Dangerous things are regulated, thats the real world. Time for gun nutters to wake up.

I am not raising a child in this country.

Putin wants a police state. Shocking.

Diplayer wants massacres and anarchy, shocking. Guns over people.

If you want to outright ban guns, you need to amend the Constitution. From what I've seen it looks like this piece of shit shooter stole the guns from his mother, so there's not even an obvious new regulation to prevent something like this from happening again. Since we're not going to repeal the Second Amendment and there's not really a way to make stealing guns and murder more illegal, we should focus our efforts as a society in finding these young men who are screwed up in the head and keeping them from harming society. Let's funnel some of that Obamacare spending into new mental institutions.

Putin: "I am not raising a child in this country".

No woman would ever have a baby with this communist asshole anyone...so it's mute point...

Why the hell did she have an assault rifle? This isnt rocket science.

Mental illness is difficult to diagnose, you cannot even diagnose minors with schitzofrenia for example, its illegal. They basically cant get treatment until t. heyre older

true.....until the legal hurdles are removed, it's going to impossible to catch these people before they commit such heinous crimes.

Cant remove the hurdles because its so kids dont become unjustly institutionalized

What's deliciously ironic is the same asshole liberals that don't want to label people, don't want people declared retarded, don't want them separated out, want them normalized and etc etc etc...they're the same ones that are the first to scream for anyone that even slightly deviates from some social norm to have "deviant" stamped on their forehead and tell them they are now forbidden to participate in certain legal activities because of what they **might** do....

She must have met the criteria. Assault rifles are heavily regulated already. You'll always have guns and you'll always have lunatics, but you can round up lunatics a lot easier than you can round up guns.

A better system of psychiatric care strikes me as much more doable than amending the Constitution and trying to take people's guns away.

ban guns? lol socialists think they can control the flow of illegal guns better than the flow of illegal drugs. heck that lunatic could've just made a bomb with materials from your local homedepot. whats next? ban fertilizers? maybe ban scissors and knifes too while your at it. lunatics will always be out there and find a way. having a gun on you is the only thing to protect you, because by the time the cops will get there you'll be dead.

How are they heavily regulated when anyone can get them? Get real. Nobody neefs an assault rifle. Stop pretending we cant have sensible gun laws and thers a silver bullet with mental illness.

What the hell do you know about the state of psychiatric care? Gunners always look for a new scapegoat when the problem is staring them in the face.

If the jackass didn't slaughter the classroom with guns...he would have done it with a homemade bomb. GEt over it...this wasn't spontaneous, it was planned. But all the good sheep say, "Bahhhhhh....let's get rid of the guns..." in knee-jerk thoughtless reaction to anything involving a gun.

Then let's ban cars, because people abuse automobiles and kill people with them at a much higher rate than they do guns. Implement a mandatory government transporation system...it would be a dream...the infrastructure program would take decades to implement and cost trillions, provides millions of jobs and all the vehicles would be coal-burning battery powered vehicles...and then nobody would kill anyone with a car again. Totally feasible...and about as practical as kicking down all the doors and trying to take all the guns away...which, of course, will leave ONLY the criminals with guns.

You're never going to ban guns, so just get over it. And if it's such a damned good idea, then when Obama and the Democrats owned the White House and both houses, why the fuck didn't they do it then? They haven't gotten any more dangerous between then and now.

So protect peoples precious guns, but lets go around institiionalizing everybody. What a solution.

ban cellphones too, they cause many car accidents too.

Most of these attacks occur with legal guns, stop with the smokescreens. It is insane that people can own military weapons.
