Two take away lessons for me here:
-snip-
One: As this post details, it was already illegal for the shooter to possess a firearm. This should be clear evidence to everyone that simply making things illegal to possess doesn't solve the actual problem.
Pro-gun people want to see these shooting stop too. But all this time spent bickering about banning/restricting guns is just time that could be spent discussing an actual solution.
Two: The shooter was apparently chased off by an armed civilian. If all law-abiding citizens were disarmed, it is probable that the shooter would have been able to kill more people before he was stopped.
I'm seeing a lot of talk about people wanting to ban AR-15s
specifically, which makes me curious:
So, my question to those who are pro-gun control: Without looking anything up, based just off of what you know right now, what is it about
this one model in specific that leads to so much discussion about banning
this one model in specific
