I own 2 pistols, 2 shotguns and a rifle. I sport shoot and I only hunt fowl. I still support stricter gun control. Why?
Because a law abiding person such as myself will still have no problem procuring a firearm.
Sadly, this in and of itself is still the problem.
Many of our shooters, the most recent included, were technically law abiding citizens. Many serial killers have spotless criminal records. Many more mentally ill are capable of hiding their illness. And of course, as Syn pointed out, a gun can be acquired from a friend or a family member.
It's like I said in another thread, once you pull it out of Pandora's Box you can't put it back.
I really think the only way to safeguard our schools and colleges is to do away with the 2nd Amendment and start the long arduous task of confiscating hundreds of millions of weapons. And since that is HIGHLY unlikely and probably impossible, we may be forced to replace the fire extinguishers in our school hallways with .45 Carbines.
