I normally like reading your posts, but I'm not sure I'm following your


response on this one.

I agree that guns are not the only problem, but they are certainly part of the problem. I do support more control, checks, etc.

But if we achieved everything in my theoretical (admittedly FANTASY land), would those who support more gun laws / gun control say "OK, there's not much more we can do on THAT front" in the face of whatever shooting would happen after that?

I'm in the camp that says that restrictions like this would reduce the incidents, reduce the casualties, but not prevent it. But as the gun rights advocates on this board point out, we'll never prevent it completely. And that's ok.
