How do you plan to get the MILLIONS of guns that are in the public's hands off the streets?
It's like all the armed terrorists in Iraq. There are so many weapons floating around they can't keep them out of people's hands.
For many years high capacity handgun magazines were illegal. They NEVER went away, you could get one any day of the week. They just cost more while they were banned.
The answer is not to try to take away the guns. All that will accomplish is taking guns away from the law abiders.

As long as something exists people will always find a way to obtain it. The prohibition and the smugglers, the present day drug war.... You can make guns illegal but people will still obtain them. There are other ways to kill people than with guns, besides I have the right to own a firearm to protect myself, or for entertainment, not everyone who has a gun is a murderer, why punish those who are innocent?

If someone other than a vicious sadistic murderer had a gun the body count at VT may have only been "one" the sick twisted freak who took so many "defensless" lives. We are garunteed the right to keep and bear arms and I think it's about time for some of the good guys (and gals) to have them.
We can't predict a tornado destroying our lives but it is a given that we will face evil people at some point in life...We should be able to defend ourselves....

you are right on one thing you don't know when somebody is going to try to kill you so carry a gun with you at all times and you don't have to be a victim there will always be guns if they were all taken away people would just make more i am glad i have the right to carry a gun and nobody will take that from me

Your theory is flawed. John Wayne Gacy did not use a firearm. Nor did Jeffery Dahmer or Richard Speck. If someone is going to kill, they will kill. simple as that.

If you take away guns, you only take them away from law-abiding people. You don't take away guns from police officers, government bureaucrats, or criminals. Gun control causes shootings. Columbine, Virginia Tech, and 9/11 have 1 thing in common. They all could have been prevented without gun control.

What about the mother, who left her three kids in the car, then rolled it in the lake?.
No guns, no kids.

lets get rid of cars first, most people are killed in cars each year, no cars, alot less deaths.
So cars should be banned first since they are much more dangerous than guns.
