Just like it's so hard to have rational pro gun talks with Canadians because they have demonized most guns for so long its hard to have rational talks about the cons of owning guns to Americans who own them.
I like to think I am a pretty intelligent and rational guy. I just don't see how outlawing most guns is going to solve or severely decrease this type of activity.
Sure they should ban fully automatic weapons , some military assault rifles, and all extended magazine hand guns. However people that want to kill people will find another way to kill people.

I love that we are irrational when you are argueing in favour of a status quo that kills 10, to 15,000 americans a year for no appreciable purpose what so ever other than a bit of deer meat.
In 9/11 3000 people died and you guys invaded 2 countries spent close to 3 trillion dollars and completely ignored even the most basic of human rights up to and including the US goverment killing US citizans without trial or due process. 100,000 americans over the last decade die due to non existant gun control and you all throw your hands up and claim there is nothing that can be done!
