The changes I propose (below) would be a common sense arrangement that would still allow normal mentally healthy citizens to own guns ...
You should write comic books. No one is going to go along with all that crap. The people that think its a good idea, don't have the clout to get it off the ground anywhere. We already have more than enough Laws to cover Gun Ownership, and maybe too many. We should start a Movement to have some of the NUT JOB Gun Laws repealed. Like the ones to Ban "Scary Looking Guns."
So, no … I don't believe that the solution to gun violence in America is more and more guns, everybody armed 12/7 with a 7.62 mimigun ...
How many gun owners do you know that are armed with "Mini Guns?" Shouldn't you be discussing something you know about, instead of stuff your clueless on?
There is already Laws that Ban Mini Guns, or didn't you know that either? Its been on the books long enough, so you should have known it.
OTOH, providing him with guns and ammo was perfectly "legal," wasn't it … ???
The guns where bought legally. That's not an issue, and never was. The killing that he did was illegal and a crime. That was the issue.
Why not try to Ban the vehicle that took him to the school? After all, if he had no transportation to get there, no one would have been killed, gun or no gun.
Again, who do you plan to stop? The common criminal who is FAR more likely to commit a murder is NOT going to suddenly go to an FFL. He's going to the corner dealer like he does now.
And the "corner dealer," when caught and convicted, could be put up to a firing squad …

Well, yeah …
How dare those jack booted guv'mint thugs tell anyone who can or can not own and carry a 7.62 mini gun … ???
Doesn't the Second Amendment guarantee an absolute total right to own and carry and use any gun I want … ???
Who says so … ??? Who decides … ???

Generally the NFA is considered to be unconstitutional. No reason Americans should be unable to own F/A firearms. See US v Miller.
When will you be coming for my high capacity clips?

For sure, if the Sandy Hook slaughter and the Rep. Giffords assassination attempt and the Colorado theater massacre didn't galvanize public opinion and political will in America … probably nothing ever will …
So, yes … I agree … Realistically, there will never be any meaningful gun control laws passed in America …
(Does it really matter if the murderer obtained his firearms "legally" … ???) …
If it doesn't, then you're making a great argument for repealing all of the (useless) gun control laws already on the books.

Thank God our Constitutional rights are not subject to media frenzy, public opinion, or political will.
