I can not imagine a more horrible event.

Yes, I am a gun owner. Politics aside, something needs to be done - but what?

As OldcoachED has stated, safety and mental competence are (obviously) important aspects when issuing a permit to a person.
As a former instructor, safety ALWAYS came first. Don't mean to put Figmo on the spot but I do believe he will agree with me.

However, does anyone REALLY think that criminals - repeat - CRIMINALS are going to obey more gun laws?

Do you really think that ALL guns could be collected and
destroyed - IMPOSSIBLE!

BTW - Almost every handgun you buy is NOT an automatic weapon - this is a misnomer. They are semi-automatic - you have to pull the trigger each time to shoot.

I confess that I do not have the answer.
