It is par for the course that whenever there is a senseless mass killing there are those on the liberal left that call for more restrictive "gun laws". At least in the western countries where the screaming PC liberals carry unreasonable weight with their illogical emotive retoric. As has been said there are (and have been) more ways for insane people to carry out thier deluded fantasies than with a firearm. I japan where there are some of the most restrictive gun laws the knife has held the place of the tool for mass killing with attacks on schools or gas has been used. Large vehicles have been driven into buildings and dare I say it planes have been used as well. There is fertiliser bombs, gas canister and fuel bombs and any number of ways for the sick in society to gain thier twisted aims, but to disarm society is the very oposite to what the solution might be. Fortunately here in NZ where we have had our own mas killings, when the usual calls for tighter gun controls were heard there arrose the COLFO (coalition of liscenced firearm owners) and with serious and factual representations to the govt of the day, these repressive laws were not enacted.
