I'd like to thank everyone who answered my question. Its just very confusing and really difficult for us in the UK to understand the gun situation in America.
It's difficult for us in the U.S. to understand why you guys throughout Europe are committing cultural suicide by allowing yourselves to be overran by Muslims.
Media needs to stop reporting that guns were legally owned.
He was in a school for people with psychological issues - Special Ed / emotionally disturbed etc.
If these records were handled properly and if he was honest on application, then he would not have had guns.

Guns don't make people kill people or commit mass shootings. These nuts seek out ways to kill people. If it wasn't a gun, it would be something else. In the ME, where they probably can't afford to get guns, they use bombs instead. Also very effective way to kill a lot of people at once.
not mecessarily...did the place he was at qualify as a memtal institution....and if he was aprohibited person...he still got the guns didn't he....?
You want the government to be able to "control" people's rights. The only people that such controls effect are the people that care about the law. Do you really think people who would commit mass murder care or would not find some other way to do as much damage as possible?
Do gun control laws lessen the frequency of mass shootings??? Have any of these measures been effective whatsoever in preventing gun homicides? That is an important question that you need to ask yourself. If the answer is no, then obviously it is NOT the answer to the problem. Of course we are always going to have whackos around. There always have been whackos, but we have a LOT more of them today than ever before because there are more people living in the US than ever before. Why not look at Hollywood which glorifies violence and gore and desensitizes us? Perhaps THAT is the culprit because guns have ALWAYS been a part of American culture.

It worked in Australia.
We're not going to let you people have a gun round up here.
In which case the blood of innocents is on your head and hands, and on those of your fellow gun fetishists, since you aren't prepared to even consider any reasonable measures at all to stem the slaughter.

Well, let's look at that.
Australia had a case where they had exactly that happen. They banned guns after a mass shooting in 1996. They haven't had a mass shooting since.
There's never been a mass shooting in Japan.
The United Kingdom hasn't had a mass shooting in 16 years.

If that was the criteria no liberal could own a gun.Media needs to stop reporting that guns were legally owned.

Gun fetishists? Lol. Just because people recognize how important our rights are and that they need to be defended because the government does NOT have the power to grant or take away rights as they see fit. Our rights are not dependent on "feelings."

I make the distinction between normal gun owners and the gun fetishists who are obsessed single issue voters who can't live without their precious penile substitutes.
I defend the right to have firearms but with that right comes responsibility and accountability.
The gun fetishists want to have their guns without taking any responsibility or accountability for what happened in the OP.
Yes, they are accountable and responsible because they have actively obstructed all attempts at reasonable and sane measures to prevent these kinds of tragedies and they are still doing so right here in this thread.
"Unreasonable".... placing unnecessary and ineffective limits on the rights of the law abiding with the intent to prevent something that cannot be prevented.It worked in Australia.

Define "reasonable and sane measures." We have addressed all of your sides points, and shown they do absolutly nothing to stop mass shooters or criminals from getting and using guns......we support locking up gun criminals for a long time...which is the only effective way to stop gun crime.
Here are some of the measures suggested....
Licencing all gun owners.
Registering all guns.
Magazine limits.
Universal background checks.
mental health info. for background checks.
Outside of the mental health info. in Background checks...and even that has major problems.....none of the other measures you harp on would have stopped this mass shooting or any of the others. They would not stop the criminals from committing crime with guns.
So how are we unreasonable?

Put simply: Anti-gun loons either do not or cannot think.
Guns don't make people kill. You just want to put a band-aid on the problem. Besides the fact that for all of your rules and regulations, the ONLY people who will be effected are the law abiding.
