you cant just do a 180 on the whole thing. Its not just guns for everyone who wants one. Its the ability for law abiding SANE people to own them to protect themselves and people around them. That is one of the major problems even with assault weapons bans, they ban them from the people who want to obtain them legally, but all the ones in the gangs in the inner city still exist. Cho should have never been allowed to buy a firearm given his mental history, but virginia has very loose gun laws aside from the gun free zones. West virginia is even looser.
Ted makes good points, but gets a little to rant ish. the comparisons were moderate at best but the point was made. everyone sees guns as the root of all evil, the general public isnt that intelligent.
