Lack of enforcement of gun laws is our problem.
Lack of properly diagnosing and treating people with mental health issues is our problem.
Adding arbitrary gun control laws based on hysteria doesn't make anyone safe or the country any better (just see how great Prohibition or the Patriot act made America). Melting down every law abiding citizen's gun won't stop or curb violent crime. Look at statistics in cities where guns are all but illegal like Chicago and DC; liberals will just say that's "gang violence" on TV to explain away why an idyllic gun-free zone of a city is in actuality a Wild West shootout.
Our problem is that we demand our government "do something" when a tragedy happens, and when they "do something" they erode away our Constitutional rights.
There cannot be a compromise, conversation, or whatever the code word for regulation is these days.
What's worse is that the media is taking up the cause of anti-gun activism... like those jackasses posting the names and addresses of gun permit holders in NY.
