The point is if someone is that mentally ill and wants to kill someone then they're going to do it with whatever means they have.
Regardless of that a little thing called the Constitution is in place...but then again that seems to slowly be eroding with each passing president.
BTW, you realize most gun crimes are committed with UNREGISTERED, ILLEGAL guns right? Your average Joe who has his guns legally typically doesn't commit crimes with them.

Eh..he would have maybe hurt 1-2 people with a knife, maybe one dead before people beat him down. But with a gun...well, thats a different story.

banning guns disarms honest citizens, thats it! criminals dont follow the laws, ergo criminals will still have guns. banning guns would not have prevented that man from getting a gun and killing those people. Myabe it would have been harder for him to get his hands on one, but if he wanted to he could!
Now lets pretend for a moment that the leftists of America get their wish and guns are now banned and somehow, magically, every gun in America disappears. that does not change the fact that there is something wrong with this guy mentally and he wants to kill people. now he is going to use the next best/most readily available weapon to commit his crimes.
see, banning guns or any weapon for that matter isn't going to make much of a difference if it makes any difference at all. If someone wants to kill someone, they are going to find a way to do it. If every honest citizen in this country was disarmed, criminals would have a field day.

I dont belive in banning wepons, but this person had both guns registerd and was just another normal human being, and killed 14 people. The police, who also had guns, didnt do jack. the guy killed himself.
IMO, not a great day for gun control.
