I agree that nuts will be nuts. Determined nuts will find
a way to kill regardless of the laws we pass. But I think we should make it harder for less determined nuts to snap and easily inflict so much damage.
You used to be able to buy dynamite in quantity until some nuts started blowing up buildings. Common sense prevailed and while you can still buy dynamite, you can't snap, stop by your local general store, buy a few hundred pounds of dynamite and blow up your local school. And for good reason.
I think we need to take the same approach with guns capable of inflicting so much damage so easily. If that infringes on the "right" of a bunch of losers to pose with their AR-15 on Facebook in order to prevent a nut job from buying a gun and shooting up a school the next day, sorry, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to ask the Facebook loser to make.
We'll just agree to disagree. Fortunately, I'm confident there are enough reasonable young people in this country to eventually out number and outvote the paranoid, gun nuts. Hopefully it will be sooner than later
