Would better gun control help?

[Jimbone]

Jim, I appreciate your enthusiam, but, to me, it looks like the perpetrator had already committed his acts by the time 2 off-duty cops got ahold of him. If they'd been in the wrong place at the wrong time, they would've been dead, too, as their weapons were actually in another location.

But they weren't, and he was stopped from continuing, sorry but that counts.

And don't mistake my defense of an opposite position to be enthusiasm. I'm a supporter of the 2^nd amendment, yes - but not without limits. I don't think high capacity magazines are a good idea or necessary. Automatic weapons are already illegal, and that is appropriate. I don't think crazy people should have guns.

But I am not interested in giving up my right have a firearm just so they can't get one. Because the overall point is they will break the law and find a gun somehow. That's the real fallacy of gun laws.
