The Columbine shooters were investigated for possession of explosives and had plead guilty to felony theft for a robbery they committed. They were not law abiding citizens. Furthermore, they broke several Federal laws by purchasing handguns while under 21 years of age, sawing off the barrels of their shotguns and building nearly 100 bombs. I repeat, they were not law abiding citizens.
The Virginia Tech shooter was charged with stalking two women and was subsequently declared mentally ill by a Virginia court and ordered to get treatment. He was not a law abiding citizen.
The Newtown shooter and Aurora shooters did not have criminal records, but they did have histories of mental illness and were under some sort of treatment as were the VT shooter and Eric Harris (Columbine). What you have done is point out what I and many others have said. There is a substantial need for a firearms background check database that includes registration of people who have been diagnosed as severely clinically depressed, schizophrenic, bipolar, anti-social personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, and it appears that autism probably should be added too.
If it is logical to take away guns because people with guns pose a safety risk to society then it is logical to take away the right to privacy of those people whose disorders result in them posing a safety risk to society.
You didn't read very well either. He didn't say that people thought their guns were going to be taken away, he said they thought their right to purchase them was going to be taken away. You seem to be fairly intelligent so I am sure you can grasp the concept that banning a gun IS taking away the right to purchase it.

Duane you can reconcile this anyway you want. Fact is if the Brushmaster .223 had not been available to him or the oversize clips were not available Newton most likely would not have happened or had been as bad. This shouldnt be a Conservative or liberal thing, as you wish to push it. It should be a HUMAN thing! Congress, both Democrats and Republicans alike have blood on their hands this time. In Washington, they are more worried about being elected then doing the right thing. Plain and simple, the blood of those 20 children, as well as the other murders and deaths since are now squarely upon their hands. At least a few states will make a few tougher laws. I am so glad I live in a state where the concern for the public welfare and doing the right thing is ahead of the doing back room deals and taking blood money.

Duane, who is going to take the right to purchase guns away? Right now, gun shops aren't even required to keep proper inventory. How do you go from absolutely no oversight to outright ban on this in one move? It will never happen.

the glock 10mm and P226 could have discharged 30 rounds just as fast, if not faster, so this is not a fact.
Lanza changed magazines frequently as he fired his way through the first-grade classrooms of Lauren Rousseau and Victoria Soto, sometimes shooting as few as 15 shots from a 30-round magazine, sources said.

Jay you are wrong...i am taking from the exact facts of the newton case...you are trying to be subjective and your findings are incorrect.
However, What will it? What will it take to regulate these type of weapons? 20 children dead did not do it...12 dead and 58 wounded did not do it...So what will it take? What number is too great? 100? 200? 500?
Again I am a firm support of the 2nd amendment. However NOT ONE person has proven to me the need A for Brushmaster or any style of an AR15 to defend them self or home.

I was thinking the same thing. No different from the Republicans using the families of those killed as campaign signs and tossing them aside the day after the election.

this is nothing new....reference every major large scale tragedy since World War II....this is just he American Way...be sad for a week, and then play on the heart strings to gain attention and profit
and in all of the cases of mass gun violence being used in this post, regardless of the prior criminality of the perpetrators, they obtained the guns COMPLETELY ILLEGALY, either by stealing them, buying them on the black market, or taking them from their parents gun "safe", which proves my theory that there is no amount of regulation that is going to stop this idiocy, if guns are available, people will use them for ill intent. How to stop this? Eliminate the tool - which is a gun. it is very cut and dried.
Anyone who believes any different also has blood on their hands as well. The 2nd amendment has been twisted and raped to mean something completely different than the original intent. Time to change it...

mine was a quote from the local sheriffs office, but it is the internet so it could be wrong, what source are you using?

agreed, but people use it for recreation. I don't own one, but know a few people who do that are hard working law abiding citizens.
