Gun control in america isnt going to happen,since last weeks incident gun sales stateside have actually shown an INCREASE as people fore-arm (just in case),Obama hasnt once mentioned the words "Gun-ban" or "Gun-control" in any speech since the shootings BECAUSE its political suicide,its enshrined deeply in the psyche of the average american as it is in the second ammendment,theres 85-90 guns per 100 people in the states,you cant control those numbers,the guy used a glock a Sig and an AR-15 rifle I think?Glocks and Sigs are semi-auto pistols,there are millions of them in private hands stateside,how do you legislate against them?He might do something about certain types of guns or try and push a bill through against certain types but total gun bans or tight controls?Not going to happen.
We're opposite ends of the same argument in that I believe if you take away the means to kill then that goes someway to solving the problem although I agree not entirely.
I agree with you that they will do nothing to curb the control of guns so perhaps instead of being up in arms about it the media should be a bit more laid back in their approach and instead concentrate more of their resources on a real human tragedy like Typhoon Bopha which has now claimed in excess of 1000's victims and still looks set to rise. After all these people can do nothing to avoid disasters like this.
