A not so well regulated militia of one just killed twelve souls and wounded seventy people.

143. Would you prefer that

he used an IED the like Oklahoma City bomber did? Lets assume that gun control could possibly work to thwart such an attack as this. And also suppose that for what ever reason black market weapons just became unavailable in the post 2A America. hasn't worked for illegal drugs, but lets say that it will with guns. In fact it hasn't work for anything else in the history of the world, but lets figure with firearms there won't be any illegal trade. But there still will be murderers in America. So what then? will people like this guy stop killing because he can't use the now abolished firearm? Will he say to himself "I really want to commit this horrible crime, but without a gun I just can't do it. I guess I'll just spam their e mail accounts instead."

I'm thinking he would had used an explosive. Do you think he would have still killed people? Or would he have become not a killer and just returned to sound mental health? You know, became not a.... what ever state of mind it is that enables a person to do something like this.

I don't think that not having a firearm is the cure for what ever this killer has going on in his mind. I can't imagine that the method of killing really has any effect on the persons desire and willingness to carry out such an act. It seems to me that this fellow might have been capable of building a bomb. Do you think that with his apparent mindset that had he not had a firearm that he would have just not killed people?

Firearm restrictions are very high in Mexico. Yet there are 50,000 murders a year there. How can this be? Doesn't gun restrictions stop people from wanting to kill other people?

Help me understand how not having a gun somehow heals the demented mind of a murder.
