A well armed society is a very polite one.
Things could have been different if the shooter
had been taken out earlier than it took for two
people to tackle him down.
And who would not have the guns with the
regulations you propose? Same as before.

The guy used a semi-automatic. Pull the trigger,
it shoots.

Next time you go to a McDonalds, hope that if
someone starts shooting, a customer will be
armed and know what to do. Because I'll bet
you are neither.

Furor will soon die down. Nothing will be done. * The gun lobby will
continue to pay off the whores in Congress who defeat every attempt at
REASONABLE regulation with shrill misreadings of the 2nd Amendment.

So assault rifles and other multiple-fire devices will continue to be
sold -- to kill little Bambi in the forest, as the NRA piously
pretends.

And you can still go to a gun show and buy any lethal weapon for sale
no matter if you are a terrorist or "merely" a psychotic killer.

It's so pitifully obvious that the "men" who need lethal weapons to
prove their manhood are really nothing but scared, sick little
children inside.
