Which is what makes the whole thing such a complicated issue.

obviously step one would be to stop making these things available to the public....no matter how many are all ready out there, it makes zero sense to allow more of them....and i am talking about assualt weapons etc, not all guns as that will never ever be realistic.

30 round clips and all those kinds of things should also be disallowed moving forward...along with hollow point ammo. Ammo should be much much more difficult to acquire as well, its far to easy right now.

Like i said in an earlier post, this most unfortunate event looks like it is taking the shape of a watershed moment in US history, and hopefully the politicians have the wherewithall to take it and make some real changes in a variety of areas that will allow these kinds of things to become less and less common.
