If this were so then there would be no murders, drunk drivers or thieves because murder, drunk driving and theft is already against the law. God bless the families and the innocent children. Banning an inanimate object isn't the answer. Societies mores need to change or be changed. How you do that, I haven't a clue....

Thank you both for reading my post. I respectfully agree to disagree.

I realize this is a complex issue but I think that access to weapons of mass destruction should not be made available to the general public. I think limiting access to some assault weapons will lessen the probablity of another tradgedy of this magnitude, It's just one facet to a complex issue.

I fully respect your point of views as another facet is mental health.
