I'm sure you guys are right - but the question is if you did give up the right to carry arms would it help stop tragedies like this happening?
I suppose if you are intent on a crime like this, you would find a way to get a weapon.
i enjoy others view but when it comes to the point of name calling or blood pressure rising it fails to be productive.
Adler - understood , hence my apology for deflecting the thread in post 18.
Of course it wouldn't. People who legally own arms for the purpose of sport, home defense or hunting are not the ones going out and committing most of the crimes. Those that commit gun related crimes are going to get the guns illegally anyhow.

This is the kind of thread that would/could have become political and heated back in the day, but my only comment would be this.....
There's no one to blame for this tragedy other than the psychopath who pulled the trigger.
Metaphors are used by everyone in every walk of life.
And the "right to keep and bear arms" has nothing to do with it.
