So I guess we all should just chalk the last shooting up and move on?

yall arent as mentally fucked up as americans it seems then, its not about the type of gun, its about the people! look up central and south american countries....they have way more murders per person then usa its not even close to being close. look up africa, europe and asian countries have similar problems. just more press here. check out honduras, brazilian and mexican countries. you must not listen much if you dont hear how much murders going on in these places
neo88not saying that, im saying banning assault weapons isnt going to solve our problems

little snippet ....
Earlier, this year, a Mexican think tank — the Citizens' Council for Public Security and Criminal Justice — released a study ranking the world's most violent cities in 2011, and the results were astonishing.
The 20 most violent cities were all in Latin America.
The USA had some alarming scores too, led by New Orleans at 21.
Other dangerous cities were located in Africa. None of the top 50 were in Europe and only one was in Asia, despite great unrest in those regions.
The ranking is based on murder rate per capita in 2011.

neo88here you go to compare by coutry...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate
canada is about half as much as usa
seems a good portion of usas is suicide related
neo88gun related deaths is a worldwide problem....not just here in usa
neo88I have been reading that in UK where guns are banned that gun related crimes are actually increasing. The bad guys have guns where as law abiding citizens dont. Not much fear to break into houses knowing you have guns and they dont?
