and as i mentioned earlier, i'm all for laws that make sense and address the issue. i've yet to see any proof that there is effective and proven legislation that would stop spree shootings. and don't hide behind Australia because most research strongly suggests their draconian gun laws weren't the impetus behind that decrease in gun murders, the researcher suggest it was more a change in social and cultural attitude. there's not even any data to suggest that suicides were lowered, they found a correlation between an increase in hanging suicides and the decrease in gun suicides. those people were going to kill themselves regardless. and a big % of the gun deaths here in USA are suicides.



i'm also not making this a left or right issue. but we certainly don't need to be rushing into willynilly legislation that doesn't work.
