They probably think that the political response will be to go after those who didn't do it.

Ted Nugent and his cronies worried the laws will change and they won't be able to go to walmart for their assault rifles. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using proboards |

To offset the balance, major networks are reporting that thousands have turned in their guns in buy-back programs across the nation. I'm not against citizens owning firearms for home and family protection but there must be better ways to protect the public in general.
I'm thinking GPS controlled guns that will disable itself if taken outside a fifty foot radius of the registered home. For avid hunters a special license and sensor that will disable if pointed at another human being. In any case our children must be protected from idiots at all times.
Any thoughts, ideas on how we should proceed with this issue?

My guess is that when people hear / see something like this, they want to defend themselves and they realize the only way to defend yourself in a situation like that, is with a gun. (Of course, unless you have a permit to carry, you won't be carrying the gun in public anyway).

I'd like to see a map layout showing the concentration of gun ownership across the United states, and then a map layout of violent crimes that involve the use of a gun.

This link and others you can run will give you a hint. www.policymic.com/articles/11778/james-eagan-holmes-shooting-strict-gun-laws-only-lead-to-more-violent-crimesHere is a quote: "When one takes the time to compare the numbers, it becomes obvious that many of the states with the strictest gun control laws are also home to some of the largest numbers of gun related crime. Maryland, California, Illinois, New York and the District of Columbia all have some of the toughest gun laws on the books. Illinois in particular has made it extremely difficult to buy a handgun. Despite this, there have been over 250 murders in Chicago since January 1, a staggering 37% increase when compared to this time last year. Strict gun laws have done little to deter violent crime. " This is not exactly what you asked, but you should be able to make an educated guess as to the answer to your question. |

People in drug infested ghettos will always be able to acquire fire arms, especially in our culture....no matter the regs. Where I grew up, it was west Oakland and Richmond. I think it should be impossible for a person under psychiatric care (the Aurora theater shooter) to acquire 5,000 rounds of ammunition over a short period through the Internet. How bout you? Side note: If I, law abiding citizen (with no registered fire arms), all of a sudden purchase 5,000 rounds of ammunition through the Internet and 10 fire arms. You should probably call 911. |

No. Not really. My brother-in-law has four guns and 10,000 rounds. To me, that's normal. |

I was only including myself in the hypothetical........ in other words, I would have had to have gone off the deep end.

I see that as a problem, but so is a situation where you could only buy ammo where you give up your personal information. |
