The Threat is Real, very real.

True, but you cannot deny limiting civilian access to guns makes this sort of atrocity more difficult to commit. Also suggesting that if you do restrict guns then criminals will just find another way like a truck, and therefore it's pointless limiting guns in the first place is a non sequitur.

I get that you are not personally calling for gun bans. However, I think it is worth pointing out to the antis that the time when serious restrictions were possible has come and gone. There are so many firearms in circulation right now....in responsible hands....that gun bans that have been implemented elsewhere are effectively impossible here. I grew up in NY state and the SAFE act has not been complied with in a state with a history of tolerating excessively restrictive gun laws.

I just hope we never get to a place where someone is actually dumb enough to try implementing a ban because things would probably get UGLY.
