Guns don't kill people, people kill people.
Every country has crazy people, but not every country has AR-15s.
Semiautomatic AR-15s functionally identical to hunting rifles.
Which could easily be modified to become a automatic. No?

Not to my knowledge. They're not modified to be semiautomatic in the first place, they're manufactured that way as civilian weapons.

Celebrities should stop adding their insight to matters that they know nothing about, it's actually more harmful than good. There's a reason these people are actors and not lawmakers.

Gun laws shouldn't even be in question here because the guns the shooter used were stolen. He wasn't of legal age to own a firearm.

Instead of addressing the root issue, which is lack of proper security in schools or gun-restrictive zones, people are always inclined to blame the tool used. I hope these celebrities realize that if guns are outlawed, then only outlaws will have guns. That being said, the only thing that will stop bad people with guns are good people with guns.

Some semi-autos can be modified to be fully auto with little difficultly.

That being said, they still shouldn't be banned. I don't care what others do with them.

Guns are still not the problem. Adam Lanza stole the gun he used for the shooting.


Omg lol. You can't be serious???

Where do you think he stole it from? hahaha

The chance of stealing a gun in Aus in close to zero.


He stole it from a legal carrier, his mother. Most criminals obtain their guns illegally. All you're doing is preventing legal carriers from protecting themselves by making the laws stricter.


Let me ask you this: if his mother never had the gun could he have shot her? I'll give in and say he could have stabbed her but it still stands that the gun was AVAILABLE for use.


Thankyou I didn't want to have to spell it out to them but I guess you had to hahah



These posts made me lose my faith in humanity.

I agree with what you said.

Another root issue is the lack of availble and non-judgemental mental healthcare.

Yeah, because with out it, none of this would have happen on this scale.

That being said, the only thing that will stop bad people with guns are good people with guns Not sure if they want ALL guns outlawed. I can understand assault rifles or automatics. PDWs like pistols and shotguns should be allowed. You know, for PD.

Why the hell would you convert a more lethal weapon into a less lethal weapon? Please, learn about weapons before commenting, it'll make you look less idiotic ;)

He wouldn't have done so if his mother couldn't have bought those guns.

tl;dr: You're all retarded as -blam!- and should stop talking about gun control because you obviously aren't capable of having this discussion.

I think the process for getting a gun should be stricter.

Owners should have to re-register every year for a liscense, and be able to prove they can safely store, secure, maintain and use a gun.

Currently, it seems like I could get a gun in America with less questions asked than for car insurance.

Hello, Community!

As has been stated previously, banning guns will only hurt those who purchase firearms legally. Less than 1% of gun-related crimes committed in the US last year were done with legally purchased weapons.

I am, however, for stricter gun laws in the sense that anyone who wishes to purchase a firearm should be made to do a much STRICTER background check than the ones currently in place, take a safety course, and obtain a license--concealed or not. And perhaps obtaining semi-automatic weapons should be a higher class license similar to the way obtaining military-grade weapons requires a class 3 license here in the US.

Let's look at motor vehicles in comparison. They are the number one killing machines in the United States and nearly everyone of age has one (excluding residents in major urban areas who utilize public transportation. In order to obtain a car, you need a valid drivers license and to pass a safety course, proving that you can safely operate a motor vehicle.

Will this prevent shootings? No. Just like obtaining a driver's license doesn't prevent accidents. Last year, there were over 32,000 motorized vehicle related deaths in the US as opposed to the just over 10,000 gun related deaths. Cars are far worse, yet I see no attempt at trying to do something about them in terms of having stronger roadway enforcement.

However, at the very least we would know that everyone who legally owned a firearm knew how to properly use it and the consequences of misuse. Perhaps proper civilian training could even help prevent incidents such as last week's shooting in the future.

Banning guns completely? No. Properly educating those who have them? Yes. Making it more difficult to obtain weapons other than shotguns, rifles, and revolvers (lower round capacity)? Yes.

Crime rate has gone down, not easily influenced by media.

You're hopeless. I was unaware that people with your intellect still walk this planet. Semi-auto weapons are MUCH more lethal than automatic weapons.

To me, it sounds like those who are for the total banning of firearms have never fallen victim to r*pe, a mugging, or a home invasion.

Anyone who says you should ban all firearms is an idiot. That's not what I am saying, nor is that what I think most people are saying.

But having anything more than one handgun for personal protection is excessive.

You took my words out of context. First of all, automatic guns already are outlawed. Second, I agree with you, no one besides Police or Military should own assault weapons. The truth is, however, a lot people do, both criminals and good citizens alike. And how do you know this wouldn't have happened? What was stopping him from using a pistol or another weapon?

I find this incredibly hard to believe.
How many of those were once legally owned? I'd wager the figure's much higher.
