This is a question not a political statement. I never said if I was for or against gun control or the 2nd amendment but it took less than 5 min for someone to bring up Hitler imposing gun control.

You can't control crazy people and if you think you can then you are even crazier than them.

If you outlaw guns only outlaws will have guns.
Look at England, for example.
There is a reason for the 2nd Amendment. Control the criminals and the illegal sources from where they get there guns. Not us citizens.
The person who commited this massacre was not a law abiding citizen, he does not care about gun laws and would have done this even if guns were banned. If you take guns away from citizens, then we are all sitting ducks.

Just how would you take the guns away from criminals? I would bet the perp violated numerous gun laws before the shootings took place. What form of search and seizure would you suggest? Knock on every door in the US, ransack each and every home to find the weapons? If we can't stop drugs from entering the US how do we stop guns from coming in? Sense a good machinist can make a gun, how do we stop that? Would you really want to live in a country where you are dependent upon the government for your personal safety? Look , you can't put the tooth paste back in the tube, guns are here to stay

When you can buy a gun down at the corner, or out of the back of some guys car, I'm sure a gun control law will solve the problems of today. All the bleed'n hearts need to do is stand up for capital punishment & punish the people who use guns in a crime. Instead of giving them all expense paid room & board w/ satellite tv, conjugal visitation, room service, steak meals, gym equipment......

examine up on the states who followed the right to carry regulations. Their crime fee went DOWN. Criminals worry an armed inhabitants. Washington DC has the strictest gun regulations and it really is the homicide capital. They declare it really is because Virgina has lax regulations and the criminals purchase their guns there and flow decrease back to DC. Hmmm makes you imagine. If I stay in Virgina and would have a gun then i will shoot someone robbing me or raping, or breaking in. The criminal knows that so he is going decrease back to defenseless DC and has a field day. You cant keep guns out of a criminals fingers. they're criminals and do not obey the regulation. it really is that straightforward and easy to comprehend until eventually you're stupid or a anti gun nut or trust the anti gun liberals. in basic terms said Violets answer. Sorry notwithstanding the meant comments by technique of them, Brady's Gun administration team and others were debunked by technique of impartial celebration's. undergo in recommendations what Hitler suggested, tell a huge sufficient lie and it will be believed. the middle for ailment administration comments were brushed aside as pretend by technique of the FBI who comments genuine numbers. possibly each and each of the anti gun nuts could examine the FBI comments.

no. what you are talking about is punishing the whole class so to speak because one person was acting out. i dont want my right to own a gun or guns stripped from me because some lunatic with no self control took a gun and shot a bunch of people.gun control has nothing to do with someone with no self control. gun control would never stop the really rottens or lunatics from acquiring weapons to commit harm.

No.... We need to talk about mental control. Wack jobs like this guy needs to learn just to kill themselves instead of taking a bunch of people with them.
Taking away guns works along the lines of locks... Locks only keep the honest people out. If this guy went to the extent og killing 32 people then I am sure he will go to the extent of finding a gun illegally on the black market.

As long as I am alive NO. We have a 2nd Amendment and obviously society has a problem. Society however, does not have a gun problem. Stop blaming an object, start blaming people. After guns, will we ban thoughts???

People who would commit a crime with a gun, would commit it by other means. Think about other places in the world. Yesterday there were 56 people who were killed in iraq by bombings. That happens there every day. And since you can make a bomb out of household products, you cant ever control the crazy people when access to means to kill people are always going to be available.

No.
I seriously doubt that more gun control would have prevented this.
For this moderate (and gun loving and owning lib) gun control solves nothing. I am not sure that more hoops are what is called for...perhaps addressing why this wacko went on a murder spree is the better answer.

I thought you had to have a mental test before you bought the gun. Anyway this guy at Virginia Tech is probably some little crazy anyway.
