these tragedies would still occur inevitably, but many can easily be mitigated or outright prevented with common sense gun safety laws that are fully constitutional.
Well lets see, the school was a gun free zone. That was due to common sense gun safety laws, which mandated that in the event of a violent disturbance, no one on the property would be carrying a self-defense weapon. And how would you legislate this incident have been stopped by some law (that violent criminals are gonna definitely obey) without banning private ownership of firearms?
I don't think its helpful to talk statistics here, other than to demonstrate to people who won't listen since they're too closed minded to see the truth, that whether its a knife, a car, a bomb, a fire, a gun, or something else, evil people will figure out a way and use whatever's available to commit violence on innocents. We aren't supposed to acknowledge this because this is a crisis that's too important not to use to expand the power of the central government. Have you noticed how big our "constitutionally limited" federal government has become since this recession started? And you want them to invent more crimes with which to charge us to advance your social agenda?
If you ban all legal possession of firearms, the only people who will possess firearms will be the criminals. Is that what you want?
