There were too many guns made available as a sold product.

The best way to look at this is Texas. Texas has an archaic cowboy shoot-em ethic of gun tolerance that has lead to a "move and you're dead" culture. This culture produces the most executions without having any effect on crime either - yet I don't see these same neanderthals making that argument in that case. Texas has also produced a loose canon president who has currently mired this country in a disasterous war campaign that could be the beginning of the end of our nation. Need I say more?


I guess we'll ignore the part about the kids getting killed or shot.

Yes, using Jet's "logic" we must "seriously regulate" :

all moving vehicles
alcohol
all sharp objects
swimming pools
dogs
zoo's
parent's
drugs of ALL kinds
electricity
lawn equipment

...after all, they've ALL "killed kids". You get to be a bigger moron every day...and I seriously doubt you have any children...
