Cmon cmon now - get real here
 Courts-bad guys and knives arent bad- GUNS are bad-get rid of them and all the rest is meaningless.
  Tuna is quite correct that he and we all knew what was right and what was wrong from childhood. Who knows what some others are taught.

PA NO DOUBT he should never have had a sentence that would ever let him walk free after his first murder.
I thought you wrote something about 30 days and that is not enough time to be sure .
Other than that I agree totally.
 
RguyWe know right from wrong but you can't fix crazy.
Some people do but don't care about anything but themselves.
They should have been identified by the mental health experts and weeded out of polite society by much harsher penalties for violent actions before they get a chance to kill someone for their sneakers.
Sick people that don't know right from wrong should have been institutionalized long before they snap.
Treated and cared for.
They are not mean, selfish or hurtful they are sick.
Trouble is that instead of expanding the healthcare system along with the explosion of populatuion we are cutting funding and dumping people with no coping skills and no support networks into the mainstream.
 
Now to guns.
I personally have no problem with "assualt rifles" but I do have questions about the need for a clips that holds 30 rounds.
Will criminals get their hands on them anyways?
Yes some will.
Will crazies get one?
Yes some will.
Do I think in any hunting situation you need more than 10 rounds before reloading?
NO
Do I think you will get off round number 11 in a selfor home defense situation?
NO firefights don't play out like movies very often in real life.
Probably much better off with a 12 gauge pump gum full of double 0 buck.
While we will never be able to completely end these events lessening the number killed can be hoped for and anything that makes a shooter stop, if even just briefly to reoad would givde someone a chance to escape or someone legally armed to safely aim and fire a round that might just end it sooner than later.
What is really lost by outlawing the production of new 20 or 30 round clips for anything but military sales or the selling or transfer of existing ones?
What is their purpose to a law abiding gunowner?

My Brother is a volunteer fireman for  the Sea Breeze District, and would have been on the truck that responded to the second fire call, before the police had been alerted, and retreated under fire, had he not been in Michigan with his wife and kids for Christmas. My first thoughts when I heard that the only way escape had been possible for many was the outlet bridge being open to vehicles was that is was my brothers team that had been attacked.  My heart is broken to think of the waste of two fine men and the injury to others and the anguish and sorrow visited on their families and community. 
 
Can we pause to remember that this is the day we celebrate the birth of one whose coming was so profound that history is told as before and after his life, and, regardless of belief, commit to trying to live his simple message of love and selflessness, forgiveness and compassion, and treatment of all others as we would be treated, with the faith and  hope that this evil and insanity will come to an end.
 
Merry Christmas, and please say a prayer for peace for these men's families.
