I was going to go into a spiel about gun control, but it appears 1 of the weaons used was his grandfather's police issue handgun. But now the news is saying 3 weapons may have been used. So it is possible one of them was a legally purchased gun.
Personally I think all handguns should be illegal. It's funny we can outlaw sawed off shotguns, but not handguns. I don't get it.
Yes I hear all the time about the black market. But the fact remains that most weapons used in crimes have been legally purchased at one time. While it is true most people who purchase guns don't committ crimes, the problem is when they sell these guns to pawnshops, or just sell them to a neighbor or buddy. The guns eventually find their way into the wrong hands.

No comment about gun control. Lets leave that out of here.
I express my deepest regrets such a crime has happened.
And that's ironic Diss.. what's that in your avatar? Looks like a guy holding a revolver to me.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

But still you got PWNed.
There is no reason to ban any guns because that doesn't deter crime. That is only ****ing with our rights to bear arms. No thanks. Sava even agrees with me.. don't you Sava.. you owner of several handguns?
I think we should look at this kid's parents, not at banning guns. People like whaleboy are delusional and do delusional things. Thank goodness these delusional people are not our lawmakers!For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

You people scream about gun control.. yet you seem to forget about the black market and how most gun crimes are committed by unregistered guns.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

Handguns are concealable.

Really? Your logic doesn't add up. I deserve the right to have a handgun when I reach the age (21 here in California). You have no right to take my freedoms away. There is plenty of use. You are just living in your fantasy land.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.
