You will recognise that NRA spokesman, as he will have huge wads of cash sticking out of every pocket, all willingly and enthusiastically donated by the interested parties, not least the Republican Party.
But here is one American politician, that appears to have some common sense, US Senator Chris Murphy, the Connecticut Democrat who represents the area where the Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting took place in 2012 ::

YMF If it was as difficult to get a gun in the USA as it is here , there would the same level of shootings there are here in the USA.
People do not realise just how easy it is to get a gun in the USA. The supermarket Walmart has many outlets that are licensed to sell guns. You can literally just pick up a gun and a box of ammunition along with your food shopping and pay at the till. The only delay is if you can't show that you already hold a 'permit to carry' . If you do not have a permit the shop just asks you to wait a few minutes while they check the FBI database to see if you have and criminal convictions. Once cleared you just pay and walk out with the gun and ammo.

I think you have missed my point.
I do think it would be a good idea for gun law to be addressed in the USA (if the US want it of course).
BUT. For situations like this think of the practicalities. Firstly there are an estimated 400m guns in the US so they are simply not going to be removed overnight or indeed any time in the near future.
Secondly the US, having the terrain it does, mean you cannot ban guns totally. There re a fair few people who do not have the luxury of the Police to come to the rescue - you just cant abandon them (although yes the dont need and AK47).
Thirdly, and most pertinent to this latest News, when yu have a deranged person like this hell bent on some sort of revenge do you not think they will resort to other methods like a bomb or a truck? Bombs are relatively easy to make with easily available substances and trucks well ....
As I said above, to solve this problem we need to stop the knee jerk reaction of blame the gun. They need to address and understand the problem of American kids wanting to kill other kids.

jesus 20 shootings in schools this year already !
sorry I know this is off the point - as Baldric has told me.
was he on drugs ? or was that another red herring ?
this is what the police feared in Manchester - post bomb to machine gun the little kiddies as they ran screaming down the steps ( Vic station) - sorry another red herring
