Common sense, to me, says that if you are going to say "This needs to be stopped! Mass murder is unacceptable!" The goal is no guns. There isn't a number of children that can be shot in a Sandy Hook scenario that is going to be okay. If the guy in Vegas kills 5 people with a deer rifle, that's still a cause for outrage. If the acceptable number of mass murders with guns is 0, you can't have guns around. That would be my take if I were a humanist. We need to get rid of the guns. Feasibility would of course be an issue, but everything would be pushing towards as close to that end goal as possible.
I'm not a humanist though. I don't care either way. Take all the guns. Give everybody a free gun. Whatever. I'm uninvested on the issue. That's probably why I don't have any problems with thinking things through from both sides.
Nice, but it's still a slippery slope fallacy.
