The thing about pointing the finger directly at firearms is where most anti's lose me. These types of firearms have been available for decades now. In both US AND Canada. However, events like this have only become common in the past 10 or 15 yrs. So what changed? The firearms or people?

go look at the California banned weapons, magazine fed shot guns are banned.
And yes your absolutely right but there's a reason why shotguns aren't used commonly they aren't as easy to deploy and use as a weapon like the AR.
You keep trying to make an absolute statement that its people. But if you give deranged people or zealots or people with anger issues or people with political or religious issues easy access to effective killing machines nothing good is ever going to happen.
There were 336 mass shooting in the US in 2014 this year there are 355. In 2014 there were 383 people killed and 1239 wounded, this year there were 449 killed and 1292 wounded. funny that the number of people that pretty much ate the bullet is the same.
Your right, between 1982 1nd 2011 a mass shooting happened roughly every 200 days. Between 2011 and this year that's reduced to an average of 64 days.
There are more shootings happen, and your blind enough to sit there and go, no its not easy access to guns, its all on people changing. Well maybe the access to guns and money is easier. But the commonality that's occurring is this.
for the most part these type of weapons (magazine fed, semi auto, lightweight) are being used in mass shootings,
For the most part, these guns have been purchased legally
Therefore, and ipso factor and etc there is obviously a problem with allowing sick and demented and angry people these weapons.
These weapons make it easier for an amateur to kill a lot of people fast.
Therefore since the argument is damnit we can never have nice things, those weapons need to go.
