Nothing can stop people from murdering. I hate it, but it seems to be our nature

The fact that guns exist is the problem. People are going to get a hold of them no matter what, for instance the guy in your story was a police officer. No way the government is going to give up *their* guns.

So the fact still remains that people will still have access to guns, just not through legal means. The kind of people who know where the black market weapons are are not generally good people.

So it seems that, because we are never going to get rid of people having guns, why not allow people to choose if they want a gun or not to protect themselves and others from violence.

Still though, like I said I normally see tighter gun laws as a good thing. There is no reason you need fully automatic weapons, flak jackets, etc. I don't even see why you would ever need more that one or two guns.

Personally I feel the way to resolve the whole thing is to allow people their right to guns, but limit the ammount they have. Say something like 1-2 guns per household, and only allow hunting rifles and shotguns, no pistols or military type weaponry.
