+1 on what Bjorn said- I believe the anti-gun people are trying to "strike while the iron is hot" ... while the emotions from this tragedy are still running high, people are searching for a quick fix- so, let's ban guns, then we can feel better because we "did something", right? that's my take on what is happening right now. Like others have said, the real issue is what mental issue existed, or what chain of events lead up to to the individual "snapping" and deciding to kill mass numbers of innocent people.
Recently in China, guys have "snapped" and killed people, including children, with knives, in one case wounding something like 23- here's the article http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-202_162-5755...3-injured/
So, then do we ban all knives in China to "fix the problem"?
But in the mean time, I too am a little afraid at how far the anti-gun folks are going to run with this. Hey, if they can ban any soda larger than 29 ounces in New York, what other rights can they take away?
