Absolutely, we need to better control where they are. The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. These psychos go to places where they know they wont be confronted, schools, movie theatres, until its over. The best defense is a good offense.

Yes. A good start would be keeping automatic and semi-automatic weapons out of the hands of lay people.
They are intented for the military, shooting many bullets in a matter of seconds._After theis horrible tragedy in Newtown, CT., Gunn sales have spiked by the tens of thousands , because people are paranoid that the government might take theire guns away.
We need stricter gun control. Too many states are still allowing anyone to buy guns without background checks and more guns are not the answer.

I guarantee within 4 hrs I could own a "street" gun if I chose to do so. Just food for thought.

I do not agree with reducing the ability of a law abiding citizen to own any type gun they choose. If you ban certain weapons that is just the start of banning my right to carry a gun at all. I agree on the law in our state that you can purchase a pistol but must wait to pick it up at least 24 hours. I think that should also apply to rifles and shotguns. However, this would not deter a criminal from owning any type gun. None of the horrible mass killings have been committed by a person with a license to carry a gun.

Our gun control laws make this practice illegal. Report the ones you know about.
A lot of people are buying guns as Christmas gifts too. Some are buying them because they no longer trust the government at either level to protect them. I'm fine with my shot gun that can hold 6 shells. I do not need another gun. My gun needs no more control. It behaves just fine on it's own.
