Exactly!!! Nothing else to say until the next one. Haven't looked at the news in the last 4 hours so could already have another. <sad face>

I'm all for the complete banning of firearms but I don't think the military, feds or police would ever give them up. Neither would the citizens if it came to that. And the criminals certainly wouldn't.

I'm more for people not being a$$holes and killing other people for no good reason.

If he was, this would be one of 8 threads on this forum, and this one would probably have about 70 pages by itself.

His family says he had no history of mental illness and nothing going on in the family to stress him out or be angry about. But others claim he could "seesaw in and out of rage" and neighbors said he'd been known to spend all day long shooting his guns. (The police found 15 guns at his home.) Interesting backstory: The shooter obtained a law enforcement degree from a local college in 1992 but he never enrolled in its police academy program after that. He's still not talking about why he did it.

Banning. How do you find 330 million weapons. Half of them don't even have serial numbers and they aren't in any database. Do you create Nazi style, door kicking troopers? I don't think you'll find anyone brave enough to take on that job.

Not to mention a large percentage of local law enforment personnel that would resist it.
