Well yeah sniper. lol It's not about the guns themselves it's about the accessibility of guns to people who shouldn't have them.
Edit: I just think it shows irresponsibility to say, "Oh well we have a gun problem? Get more guns."
Guns are always going to be accessible. If someone is going to commit a crime, they're already doing something illegal, so why would they care about gun laws? Its just another law to break.
No one is saying that guns should just be handed out to every citizen. What we are saying is that law-abiding citizens are born with the right to defend themselves, and deserve to defend themselves in whatever manner they see fit. The criminals will ALWAYS have guns. Gun legislation only harms those who are not criminals.
The batman massacre is a tragedy. But lets not get swept away by the actions of a lunatic (a guy who would've killed with bombs if no guns were available, btw). The discussion surrounding this tragedy has been deliberately piloted towards the subject of guns by the mainstream media. In all reality, mental health is the issue here. A psycho killed a dozen innocent people, and for some strange reason, no one is trying to find out why. No one saw the signs of his instability. Thats the real issue. Lets not jump on this asinine "guns are evil" bandwagon that has been conveniently and deliberately pushed further down the road following the unthinkable events in that movie theater.
