It's easy for people outside the U.S. to simply say, "Enact stricter gun control and this will all stop", but these are the same people who don't know how the American population works. We're a very pragmatic bunch, we actually invented pragmatism as a philosophy. And if you think outlawing guns will stop us, you're dead wrong.
There are gun shows at least once a month where I live, and on any given weekend within driving range of my house. I can walk away from a gun show with an AK-47, 20 Tapco 30 round magazines, and 1,000 rounds of 7.62x39...all without giving a single person my name or showing my ID. Green is the only color these vendors see, and if you shut down the gun shows, they're just going to take their wares underground.
As L-Pink keeps stating, outlawing guns will do nothing more than to ensure only outlaws have them. At least a law abiding armed public has a fighting chance right now. If not, it will be like Demolition Man when Wesley Snipes was the only one armed. We're screwed.
