i just asked a question about gun control in relation to the tragedy that happend yesterday. my heart goes out to anyone who lost someone in yesterdays shootings...but how can there honestly be people who dont think stricter gun control laws would have prevented it? give this kid a knife, a rock, a pointy stick, a car as a weapon instead of a gun. do you really think he would have gotten as far and killed as many people as he did? the fact of the matter is there are countries with strict gun control policies that have such a low crime rate compared to the US that its almost outragous. yes, the second ammendment gives us the right to bear arms, and i am fully aware that means all types of arms, but semi-autos didnt exist when that was written. yes, if someone had payed attention to this kid it might not have happend, but no one did. no one is paying attention to the random kid in california who may be planning, or the kid in minnesota either. not everyone fits in the sterotype
