I have to disagree. Columbine is a perfect example, the kid their cut the gun safe open at his grampa's house to get to them. point is when someone is that far mentally gone there isn't much that's going to stop them. it didn't stop columbine.

there are many laws against owership of guns. as an ex FFL holder just order a free guns law manual from the ATF and when it gets there just sit and read all the laws, then after numerous hours of reading those, then get those of your state and read those as stated being an ex FFL holder I can state there are many many laws out there just none of them matter to someone bent on killing... If not guns, then knives, improvised explosives, and the simplest killing machine, the automobile. murder was around long before guns, and will be long after we are all gone...
Only here to annoy...
