I have no dog in this hunt because I do not care to own a gun. However I am 100% on the side of those who desire to protect the 2nd Amendment because they recognize that this fight is not about placing a ban on certain type of weapons but the beginning of placing a ban on all weapons. The pros and cons will continue concerning gun control but it is only a distraction blocking the real societal problems that create the killings in a movie theatre in Colorado or a gangland killings in Chicago. We fall for it everytime because it is easy to exploit because its popular and because after all the jawboning stops the media is able to move on to the next big story leaving once again the real problem to fester once again an to eventually burst.

If certain weapons were banned I am sure this young man would have developed some sort of bomb or chemical created out of every day products and caused the same amount of damage if not more. This specious argument over gun control is good for politicians because they have a bone to throw at us voters and at least deflecting real issues. What about directing funds to help people such as this young man with his special needs? Are you kidding why would a politician work to fund this sort of need when they can build bridges to nowhere that provide more votes.
