    I cannot even imagine what it must be like to have your innocent child brutally murdered. It just makes me sick! I feel so sad for all the families involved in this tragedy. There has to be an answer to prevent even more gun violence. People always say they buy guns to protect themselves, yet it seems that guns are used more often, to go out in the public and kill innocent human beings.

    We have it. Connecticut is quite restrictive, and schools are designated "gun free", meaning there is already a ban.

    I'll wait while you assess exactly how effective gun control is at preventing this sort of thing from happening.

    If you want an example on a national scale, how about Mexico? Or Australia? How much did their crime rate go up when guns were banned?

    Because shooters are taken down with guns. If you ban all guns, how will police protect anyone? If only police have guns, criminals will go through police training just to get guns. Even if this somehow works, people will use knives, swords

    Because then he probably would have bombed the school. I suspect that would NOT have saved lives.

    EDIT: I'm disgusted by Mike who says new gun-control laws will make these 18 murders of our babies "worth it."

    Because it hasn't worked in other areas that have high crime rates committed with guns. Chicago for example.
