A horrible, sad event of unbelievable proportion!
Already the govts of England and Australia are badmouthing US gun laws. English citizens are used to not owning guns. In the 1500s or whenever, only the nobility owned guns, serfs could not. Don't know that situation has changed since then (the regular folks owning guns).
Australia? A recent article in the NRA American Rifleman noted the Australian Minister agency responsible for gun control admitted the collecting of guns did NOT reduce gun crimes in their country.
Unfortunately, this will enable anti-gun people to make guns an election issue. I do believe strict enforcement of current gun laws. Today the news reported this creep had an invoice in his backpack for purchasing a gun. I recently read there is an estimated 70 or 80 MILLION guns in the US. Do the anti-gun people believe all these guns could be confiscated with new guns laws? Give me a break. It's going to be a "Cindy Sheean" syndrome as a result of this situation.
In any case, it is a horrendous event.
