The status quo is fine. These massacres are pretty rare and account for a rounding error in the mortality rate. More gun control is not going to help and never has in the past.

Criminals use cars to commit crimes. Cars are useful so we don't ban them. Same goes for guns.

No one is saying guns raise crime rates. Guns just increase lethality.
If you argue that point, shoot yourself in the ****ing temple with a gun and spare us."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Yeah, it is. Because it demonstrates the fact that in a country where the number of legal private guns is between 90-100% of the number of adults, and illegal guns bring the number way past one for every citizen, the idea of getting rid of them is ridiculous.
Go to Kentucky. Then try to tell me that you can ban guns.

I saw that video as well and I have to disagree.
