Do not ever underestimate the power of a revolution. The same thing was said about a bunch of farmers with muskets vs the entire British Empire. But look what happened. Determination to throw off a bully succeeded, and will always succeed, if the will is strong, and the rebels are united.@bolded, I'm not, you are underestimating the power of arguably the strongest military in the world.
Determination doesn't mean anything when your enemy can kill you with UAVs while sipping tea on the other side of the world, or inboard one of many nuclear aircraft carriers.

Perhaps in a totalitarian society like China, gun control can save lives. Through absolute deprivation of freedom. I hopefully don't have to explain why that won't work in America. But here in America, we had the brilliant idea of creating gun free zones, as if that would somehow stop criminals from bringing in guns.You make it sound like they have no freedom at all solely because they can't posses something that is designed to kill and do nothing else.
Going back to Connecticut, how did the shooter get his guns? by taking them from his mother, not from illegally smuggling them in or doing back alley dealings with drug cartel and terrorists, nope, he (unassumingly) just picked it up from his mother's house.
And where did his mother get the guns? from any of the easily accessible guns stores.
Yes he took his mother's firearms...which was illegal. Thus he illegally acquired the weapons. Plus, no one's dealing with the cartels or terrorists. If people want something and are willing to pay for it, people will sell it to them. Just look at prohibition.
