There's just no point in talking about gun control because it's not going to happen.

no, but why not eliminate clips bigger than 10 rounds? Why not remove fragmentation bullets from public sale? Why not ban assault rifles? Why not increase the cost of bullets so people don't keep hundreds of rounds in their homes.
This isn't about banning guns. Its about making these mass shootings more difficult.
The idea of some 20 year old kid emptying well over 100 hollow point bullets from a civilian version of an M-16 rifle in a matter of minutes should give people pause.
