How many of you would be willing to limit magazine capacity to save one child's life?

19. Count me as one who

thinks it's more than time to severely limit access to guns and ammunition. Severely. Start by licensing every gun. Require regular re-registration. All gun owners must pass some kind of safety and knowledge test at reasonable intervals, no more than every five years. The gun owners are forever responsible to the guns registered to them, so that if one is stolen from them and later used to kill someone, they bear some responsibility.

Our lawmakers are willing to lock people up for life because of the "Three strikes" laws, which mostly put away nonviolent offenders. Well, all of this murdering has to stop.

Most other countries do not allow such wanton gun ownership. We do, coupled with a culture of violence, a glorification of murder, that result in things like what happened yesterday. And a lot of people here are saying that the murderer in this case should have had mental health care. That may well be true, but he should not have had such easy access to guns.
