Yeah, it makes a lot of sense to take guns away from law-abiding citizens so they'll have no means of protecting themselves from criminals who will be packing regardless of the laws....

Brilliant.

I'm a liberal guy, and I agree with you.

Taking guns away does absolutely nothing to prevent days like today.

If a monster is going to take the time to plan this shit, you don't think he'll buy a gun illegally? Or just make a bomb?

Gun laws won't prevent days like today, no more than abortion laws prevented abortion. It's a straw man's argument. Drug laws don't scare junkies, DWI laws don't scare drunks who like to drive all boozed up, and stricter guns laws will never f'in prevent monsters from getting a gun on their hands.
