How many of the mass shootings in American have been perpetrated with illegal guns?
ZERO. The crimes we are trying to prevent are not being committed by career criminals....
@ThomasS--Interesting point. Unfortunately, the guns were purchased legally, which is the ENTIRE point. We can't control what people will do with these after they have them so we must restrict the flow of them. Anything else is borderline insanity
The laws aren't to control guns, it is to control morons (the mom) and lunatics (the son)
just wtf makes you think I am conservative??
xpatinasia- maybe you should read my question and comments again. I clearly show support for increased gun laws. The amount of guns in this country is stupefying, and it is clearly the primary cause for our ridiculous number public shootings we are having.

Yes, but what about about the other thousands of shootings across the country a year? The vast majority are gang related, needless to say they didn't go to their local gun shop and get a background check or have a concealed carry permit. Oh yeah, I forgot, only mass shooting victims matter. Even though they are a tiny fraction of murder victims.

The bad guys prefer unarmed victims!!.
When seconds matter calling 911 and asking the bad guy to wait is not a viable option.
Better to have a gun and not need it than to need it and not have it!!!
**Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just investigate the crime after it happens.**
So you are against the private ownerships of gun! Do you believe in fire extinguishers? Why, you can always call the fire department!!

Wrong - it was illegal when the shooter in CT took the gun from the Legal Owner, his mother, without her consent. She was dead.

Your premise is false. The firearms used at Columbine High School were illegally obtained. It is appalling the number of conservatives, just like you, who view violence against children to be acceptable, humorous, and believe that nothing should be done.
