The United States needs to learn to quit being so calas,
it seems we think we cant attack and hurt people both physicaly and emotionaly.
Then we say the person is a mental case when they try to speak out that we are treating them badly.
then the person gets pushed to far and really does go crazy.'
Then we look at the terrible thing they did and just say "ohh what could we have doen to prevent it!"
We are to blame, and we need to learn to take responsibility.

Yes, I think that there should be tougher gun laws. What has just happened at Virginia Tech is a typical example. That guy was able to just go and buy a gun. That is why people all across the country are able to just get weapons, and how teenagers and adults alike are killing each other. There is no reason for people to have guns except for hunting purposes. I originally came from the UK to this country, yes there are illegal guns, but their gun laws are much tougher than here and you just don't see gang members running around shooting each other, because getting a gun is alot harder there than here, so Yes tougher gun laws need to be in place, the only reason they are not is because we have a Pro Gun President. As far as I am concerned, there is no reason that people should be able to get their hands on hand guns or automatic weapons period. Owning a rifle for hunting is one thing, owning any other type of gun is unnecessary.

As a police officer and a retired Marine, you would think that I would be against gun control. I believe that there should be tougher access laws for hand guns in particular, and stringent enforcement of the laws already on the books. It makes me nervous as hell on any routine stop knowing that there are so many guns in the public's hands. I just am not sure how to allow responsible citizens access to firearms and curtail access to criminals at the same time. I am not convinced there is a way to do so.

No - just tougher enforcement of the laws already on the books.

When people realize that it is their lack of moral fiber in this country that is the problem, not the gun.
people want to blame anything and everything else for the problem but themselves and look for short term solutions for long term problems that will not work.
I read a Bumper Sticker once that said:
Dear God, why is their so much violence in school?
God replied: " Dear concerned student, because I am not allowed in school".
Every since Madeline Murray O'Hare had prayer taken out of school the violence has risen dramatically, but secular people refuse to accept that reason and fabricate psuedo reasons for themselves in an attempt to justify immorality in every phase of life in this country, justifying all sorts of profanity and immorality all in the name of social tolerance when they themselves are hypocrites for doing so because they preach socila tolerance but refuse to accept Christinaity.
If you preach social tolerance than you accept Christinaity, it is all the way or nothing, you don't just pick and choose what is "comfortable" for you.

NO!!!! If there are tougher gun laws the only people who will have them will be the criminals...they are criminals, what do they care about the law...quite frankly I don't want the law to keep me from protecting me and mine if it ever came to it.

This is the 540th time today that I have seen this same question.
Here's the skinny: "No."
Gun laws do nothing. Every country has suffered gun violence, even the ones that have the strictest gun laws.

No, but I think that if the VT terrorist was on anti-depressants he should of not been able to buy a gun but I am sure he would of found one somewhere.
