Those who are going to commit crimes using guns will always be able to get guns. Laws against drugs haven't controlled drug use and stricter laws for guns won't keep guns out of the hands of criminals. It all starts with just banning certain guns then certain ammunition and then how many guns you can have. What will be done with those who use bombs , and knives, and baseball bats to kill people. What happened to holding people responsible for their actions.Why aren't these laws being enforced?

Of course we have this right and should, but we need tighter regulations so that people like that Colorado shooter can't just walk into a place and buy two pistols, a shotgun and an AK-weapon.

You can't regulate crazy. This man was going to buy guns whether he got them from a gun store legally or from the trunk of a car illegally. What exactly are your ideas on keeping guns away from the criminally insane? Should the government require an on sight psychiatrist at all gun stores? Not even liberals can regulate human behavior. Not yet anyway, but I'm sure they'll keep trying.

It can't hurt though can it? Suppose the Colorado gunman would have went to buy those guns and we already had the regulations I proposed? Maybe he would have given up on his plans when faced with having to put all that effort into getting weapons?
Sure, there are crazy people who will get their guns no matter what, but I feel gun regulations would likely cut down on some of this kind of behavior.

At the very least, they could put a limit on how many guns an individual can buy within a certain time period.

Two pipe bombs would have done as much damage as his guns, and could have been constructed at home for less money. So no, the regulations you propose would not stop anyone from killing. All the extra regulations will do is make it more difficult on non-criminals.

I'm with the guy who said making drugs illegal hasn't stopped people from getting them or even slowed them down. I think we should legalize all drugs. If you want em you should be able to buy them legally since we can't stop them anyway. Why try?

Those stricter gun laws were on the law books when the Oklahoma bombing took place and when Columbine shooting spree took place. And how did they prevent those tragedies by those crazy people? Do tell!

Our justice/criminal system needs changing not the gun laws. I was watching Snapped the other nite and a 17 year old girl helped her thug boyfriend kill her own mother because the mother wouldn't allow her to see the thug. She said she believed that she could kill her mother and not get very much time because she was a juvenile and they just slap you on the hand and release you when you turn 18 years old. Sadly that's true in a lot of cases. Fortunately she was tried as an adult and is in prison. But that's the mindset people have now days. They know that we are all seen as victims of society or victims of racists or victims of the wealthy and blah, blah, blah and our criminal justice system is soft on the criminals because we are victims. Makes me sick but that's how people raise their kids to believe now days. Always blame somebody else and that will be your excuse and be a victim and you will get treated as a victim of your environment instead of being treated as the criminal you are!
A guy I worked with in Louisville was shot in the head and killed by two juveniles on bicycles. The guy owd another guy a couple hundred bucks for pot he had bought from him. The guy who fronted him the pot paid those two underage kids to kill him because they wouldn't get in all that much trouble because they were 12 and 14 years old. The pot dealer was right. The kids got a few years in juvie, the pot dealer gained "don't eff with me" street cred and the other guy died over a few bags of pot.
Prisons are getting so cozy and comfortable a lot of criminals get paroled and do something to go back to prison because it is a much easier life for them inside.

Do tell! All I'm saying is guns are the most common go-to weapon for most people who do these horrible things. I believe that stricter policies on ownership could help counteract crime by a little bit. For example, someone might get mad and their friend and impulsively decide to buy a gun, and if they have to go through some red tape at first at a store, it might cool them down before they think of running to a street dealer. We're just going to have to agree to disagree.

Ever since right to carry laws have become common the crime rate has went down. Just fact. The thugs aren't as interested in attacking an armed individual. They prefer weak people that can't fight back. How many state troopers and sheriffs have been robbed by thugs lately? Wonder why?

We're just going to have to agree to disagree. Disagree we do. Criminals don't care about regulations. Nut jobs don't care about laws. Do you feel safe at home because you lock your doors. Locks are for honest criminals. Guns help you protect yourself. ARM everyone and watch crime rates drop.

We're just going to have to agree to disagree. So your answer is to put restrictions on all the responsible law abiding gun owners in hopes of somehow stopping the crazies who don't obey the laws now and won't obey the laws no matter how strict the laws become? Think about it. Does that make sense? Do you really believe that will stop any of the loonies that are on a mission for 15 minutes of fame on the internet and television? If they couldn't get a hold of guns they go to the computer and with the click of a mouse they can read how to make bombs and even how to make weapons similar to guns with pipes like the lunatic Zodiac serial killer did. The liberal media is to partly blame for the incorrect info they put out there to make their story a bit more sensational. They tell you that this crazy guy had military-issue weapons. The military doesn't use the weapons that guy used. But when people hear military-issue weapons they automatically assume only the military should have those weapons for war. They started the rumor that this guy belongs to the Tea Party so people would hear that, believe it and run with it. Do you know that those stricter gun laws were in affect when the Columbine tragedy took place? Did those stricter gun laws stop that from happening? No. So why do you believe they will stop any other lunatic from carrying out their dirty deeds? Criminals and crazies love it when you people start screaming for stricter gun laws when things like this happen. They know people who want to be law abiding citizens will give up their weapons. They know they aren't going to obey the law no matter what strict laws are put in place and they know they can get their weapons no matter what. They know that home invasions on citizens goes a lot easier if the home owner isn't armed. They know rape is much easier if the victim isn't armed when they climb through that window and jump on top of that victim. They know that stricter gun laws makes their life of crime much easier.

AGREE 100%!!! Criminals DON'T OBEY LAWS!!! Otherwise they wouldn't be ciminals, now would they? I am not even allowed to own a firearm due to my past criminal history but I can tell you for a fact that it is easier to buy a gun off the street than to walk into Walmart and attempt to buy one! There's no waiting period, no background check, no hassle... As long as you've got cash! And even though I can't own a gun, I strongly believe in the 2nd Amendment rights of others to bear arms! Like someone else said as well, what about knives and bombs and baseball bats? You gonna require a federal background check before you can purchase a Louisville Slugger? The liberals want to disarm this nation, so when the sheople realize they're screwed they have no way of standing up to the government. They want to make you think that we need tighter regulation on guns so things like this "can't happen". BULLSH!T!!! They need to start enforcing stricter penalties on people like this lunatic! Public executions for people that commit heinous crimes, televised on national networks. Hang them from a bridge, or fry their brains out, or put a firing squad on them in front of the world. If more people would see first hand the consequences of actions like murder then maybe they would consider their actions more carefully before deciding to go on a rampage! And before anyone says "OH! THATS TOO VIOLENT!! KIDS SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SEE THAT" Well look at the sh!t they show in the movies and on TV now days... What's the difference? Maybe instead of thinking they can do the sh!t they see on TV, the kids would start to realize that you can't just go killing people and then live happily ever after in an 8x10 cell with 3 meals and "recess" all day.

And not only that u don't everhear of the people actually protecting innocent civilians when a gun packing idiot start shooting but this actually happens a lot
