> Stolen firearms are all over being sold to those that use them for horror stuff like this. I doubt there is a way to stop it. Like prohibition people still had their alchohol. Illegeal distilleries. I have a horrible feeling it will get worse before it gets better. Frantic people, those with undiagnosed and treated severe illnesses, no jobs, no money, society is desperate and unfortunately the innocent suffer. Phillipa


What if the Democrats were to draft legislation to ban the sale of all firearms without exception; the only well regulated militia to be the US Military? Perhaps the Republicans (NRA) would fear its passage enough to finally help to come up with a solution to gun murder by offering their own legislation. It would be an interesting political ploy. I doubt such a bill proposed by the Democrats would pass in the House of Representatives. However, it might influence mid-term elections.

I don't know what the answer is. There is too great a pool of existing firearms to be able to remove them from society expeditiously. The laws in Britain seem to work, though. You need to start somewhere. To do nothing is to admit defeat before even trying.

Oh, yeah. Then there is the Supreme Court...
