After just another killing spree in a high school does anyone here keep their fingers crossed for any real gun regulation to be made law in the U.S.A., or would the country have to wait until the witnesses of such events grow up and start voting?
The parts of the story that (IMO) are the most pertinent to the issue of gun regulation:
- The shooter did not own the firearms (one shotgun, one 0.38 pistol).
- He simply had access to them, they were available to him (carelessly kept).
- There does not seem to be anything exotic about the firearms used in the attack (plain pieces).
- It happened in Texas, it appears that in gun country there were no "good guys with guns" nearby "to stop the one bad guy with guns".
It seems to me that the NRA arguments against gun regulation are not able to hold any water in this case.
Anyone care to argue otherwise?
