Its sad when people cant see further than a few feet in front of them.There is none, except to facilitate the deaths of the innocent.Who said it would stop a shooting? i could walk out my house right now and shoot someone.True but thoughtless.
Consider:
1. Put aside the Second Amendment for a moment.
2. License anyone who wants to own, possess or have in his or her custody and control a firearm.
3. Require everyone of those guns to be registered.
4. Allow those who choose not to apply for a license and own guns to surrender them to local LE.
5. Require gun safes and /or trigger locks on all guns in the home or business unless actually under the custody and control of a licensed person.
It can be done, but there is no will to do so. The NRA and many gun owners care only about their right not be infringed, and have a who cares attitude for those who lost their lives yesterday, and their family and friends.
I'd bet some of them would support 2 & 3 in a moment if it would save the life of one of their children; the rest probably wouldn't since it's all about them.
And how would that have stopped this shooting?
That's a rhetorical question, because we know for a fact it would not.
California Virgin in Isla Vista bought 3 guns in California, a state that has ALL of those A handgun certification, registration, waiting period, universal background checks, mandatory gun locks...and he still committed mass murder with both knives, guns and his car as weapons.
Gun law experts have said that there was nothing in his known history that prevented him from making legal gun purchases.[5]

My point exactly. If it won't prevent these shootings, what exactly is the point?
