It scares me to know that there are people out there that believe the right way to handle this situation is to make guns illegal. If someone is mentally disturbed enough to kill dozens of people, he'll do it whether or not guns are legal.
Pretty much this. Like drugs are now, if guns were illegalized it'd only create a black market for them, costing the government even more money to try to fight something they'll never succeed doing.

Getting illegal guns is already as easy as getting pot.

Guns are tools, people kill.If I wanted to, I could kill a man with any tool ever invented. Guns are used to hunt, now granted there are bows for that (Which I can go out and buy with out anything and still easily massacre people with) but its harder to take most game with that/its plain old dangerous.Because of how things are in America you can't restrict guns, it'll cause more problems then it solves, take Washington D.C for example, when the handgun ban was over turned, Crime went /DOWN/ 25%.I'm going to make another post but I got to go to work right now.

The main reason was if the government turned all corrupt and had a dictator/king, the people could overthrow the said person. Guns are not just to kill, they are to have fun too without hurting others. I.E. Going to a shooting range and just shooting targets.Anyways, guns will never be illegal in America. I wouldn't be surprised if the southern states try to start another civil war. Texas is already trying to secede from the nation because of it's current leader lol.
I recently had a school debate on this, (Which I crushed everyone else in)I am for regulation of fire arms, but not completely outlawing them. The root of the problem lies in the regulation of them. Anyone can walk into a gunstore in Arizona, buy a fully automatic rifle and enough ammo to take down an army and leave with it the same day. It is also insane on how you do not need a permit to conceal your weapon. Incase you're having trouble keeping up, that is fucking insane. None of the people that roll up to schools and mow down the place are past criminals. They are all white boys with a history of bullying, mental disorders and an etapus complex.The real criminals get them illegally anyway, and none of these angry white boys have the connections or indeed the knowledge to go undergroun d and get them from the black market.
