I understand the gun owners desire to keep their weapons and their 'right' to such, but these kind of events elevate the need to seriously discuss the nature of firearms and their sale in this country.
We could go on about how there are other methods, and that is a valid point, but the simple fact is firearms fall too easily into the hands of deranged whack jobs in our country. I would venture that a much smaller percentage would take the time and effort required to utilize different methodology.
First step should be to eliminate the handgun. No sales to private citizens anywhere, for any reason. If you need to carry to protect yourself, get a shotgun. Can't argue with the deterrent factor. (flame suit on...
