I await the inevitable comments along the lines of 'It's all video games/movies/rap music's fault!'

Hmm... If that were the case, surely there'd be an absolute deluge of school shootings in, say, the UK. Alas, all our troublesome teens seem to do is stab each other and kick grown men to death. The teens also tend to be decidedly from the 'chav' end of the spectrum, rather than the 'disturbed, psychotic genius' end.

There's a heavily-armed, paranoid and isolated elephant in the room...

Right now for the average citizen in New York, California, Indiana, Illinois (the states with the strictest gun laws) it is much easier to buy an illegal unregistered machine gun, then to buy a legal hunting rifle.

Thats because they were given too freely in the past..... how can a gun be legal in the first place, and later make it harder to purchase them.... its like trying to pick up spilt milk...whats done is done.

That is true. The only thing to do when that happens is to stress gun safety and responsibility. There is no going back and undoing the ownership or amount of guns that are in the public domain. What now needs to be done is find ways to live with the situation. Good or bad, guns will always be here, either legal or illegal.

When I was a kid gun ownership was more open, it was a fact of life, most homes had a gun. Yet, these trageies did not happen. The difference being we were taught a gun was a tool and not a toy. We did not see a gun as a means of killing people, they were to protect livestock and to provide food.

A car can be just as dangerous as a gun if misused. The difference being people are being educated on the use of cars as everybody seems to have one. We need to return to the same attitude with guns.

No matter how many laws are passed guns will still be available. They are very simple devices and can easily be made at home by a person with very limited knowledge. I made my first gun before I was under 10 years old. It was a simple hand cannon. the barrel was bamboo wrapped with wire, for gun powder I used match heads and for projectiles I used fishing sinkers. I had to light it with a match to fire it, but it worked. Now if a 10 year old can do that, a person with a little machinery skills can make guns.

We do not need more laws, we need more education.
