Barbara Parker said she is not discouraged by the fact that those previous mass shootings failed to be the tipping point when it came to gun control, nor is she fazed by the often fervent — and well-financed — defenders of the Second Amendment.
“There are people out there whose minds we will never change,” she said. “If you are a parent, if you are a mother, if you have children — how can you look your child in the eye and say we are willing to allow you to be collateral damage in order to keep what some people perceive to be their constitutional rights? If we as a society are willing to accept that, what kind of society are we?”

Yes. Whenever tragedies occur we need to go with a knee-jerk reaction and completely gut the principles this country was founded upon

Assuming this happened, guns would only be in the hands of the government and criminals. That sounds like an awesome result.

I dont shame anyone for having a gun, but there has to be something done about people with mental issues buying/having access to them.
Adam Lanza's mom had a freaking arsonal around a kid who was clearly mentally ill. This Vester guy had severe behavioral issues and he was ble to legally buy a gun. Not sure how you combat against it, but something needs to be done. Private sales dont require background checks
Its also getting to the point for me of "How many guns are enough"?. Its estimated that there are close to 300 million guns in the US with about 5 million new firearms made every year. Serious question....How many is too many?
