That is almost always the case in the stories that make the news. The lunatics will always manage to get guns. The solution suggested most of the time is to limit the general public access. That doesn't make sense to a lot of people.

  was able to quickly and easily find a gun on the spur of the moment because there are so many around, with such easy access.

    between stats and anecdotes false dichotomies are created
    to me, the goal is to reduce mass shootings
    those are almost exclusively perpetrated with relatively high power long rifles with high capacity magazines
    yes, of course there's many incidents where shooting rampages are carried out with whatever was at hand ... but the high body count ones always have the aforementioned in common
    logically, that's where the focus should be regarding weapon access
    Reagan was shot with a pistol, Lennon was killed with one
    they have something in common ... one pistol, one victim
    so there's a stat worth contemplating
    edit: I agree with your skepticism based on the above! [and more]
    best regards,

  So a lunatic goes to the shop and legally buys a gun.
  And a kid is walking down the street past the lunatics home and gets shot and killed.
  
  How can anybody not see that the right to life outweighs the right to own a dangerous toy?

  I don't know a lot of people SR
  
  can I start with you?
  
  what does make sense?

    This forum seriously lacks a real problem solver. People just bitch and spout forth whatever someone said the solution of the day is. I should probably look up something to link for your reading pleasure and rejection, but I want to limit my wasted time. It's my new resolution.
