Ok,
Tell me if I'm right,
Is there any witness who can identify the shooter,
we had a similar story to resolve in our English lit class,a masked man, a room filled with gas, shooting, people running to the exits,
I've read tons of article but none of them mention any eyewitness of our man,
if he didn't sit next to his car and wait for the police, I don't think anyone could identify him- Gunfire residues on his clothes would identify him as a recent shooter.comicsans

what I meant to say, is that he was wearing a full body armor and a gas mask,
the movie previes had already started so we can say the room was dark when everything started.
+ that whole appartment thing sounds so weird,
if you want to make a carnage, you don't stop in the middle and say, shit I better sit next to my car and tell the police I've booooobyyyy trapped my appartment

I'm just wondering what would have happend if the guy ditched is body armure and just layed low
- Well, we assume he wouldn't have been recognized as the "Joker"formed
- actually he tried to play a special forces cop and nearly got away.uan
- uan got any source, haven't read that nowhere, thanksGeorgesII

Why stop at gun laws? Let's get rid of the rules of the road – people speed and run red lights – and drug laws and age restrictions on booze/tobacco/driving, and everything else. No? Well then, why are laws about guns somehow special?
Laws won't stop criminals, but they will stop, dissuade, or at least hinder someone who isn't already an established criminal with connections and sources for illegal weapons, and provide opportunity for red flags all over the place (just like buying fertilizer bomb ingredients does) when he tries to circumvent those laws.

Because cars and alcohol are not built to kill people. OBVIOUSLYanimatedgif - I don't think you're following the conversation.i_monk

I have to say, as far as the argument of "banning guns won't help because criminals will still get them"... I lived in the US most of my life. In DC (tons of shootings... daily during some years), and Seattle (less shootings, but not uncommon). I now live in Holland where you can get a gun, but it it damn hard... near impossible without like 2-3 years of regular training and usage. How many shootings have I heard about in the past year here? 0.
I'm sure there have been shooting deaths, but not once a week/day...
Sure, major criminals will get them, the mafia will get them, but 16 year old kids won't have easy access. Sure, you can bring up the Norway guy, but he was a single person, and clearly intent on killing people. Those people will find a way, no matter what. Timothy Mcvey proved that. You don't need guns to kill people if that is your true intent.
So don't try that argument. Removing guns is valid to slow down plenty of shootings. You want to keep guns, be prepared for stuff like this. It's a trade off.
As a last note, I took gun safety courses, I went to the firing range, I thought about purchasing a gun. However if someone said "look, let's remove these, it might help save a lot of lives, and reduce crime... can you put your personal desires off for the betterment of our country?" I'd say sure. I wish more people could try to allow the needs of the many to outweigh their personal desires of things that *want, not *need. We [the US] doesn't need to make them illegal, but just much stricter laws.

The benefit of gun sales restrictions seem fairly moot when there are 88 privately-owned guns for every 100 American citizens*.
Never mind the illegitimate or otherwise unrecorded ones.
ho hum.

So would banning the private sale of firearms help? Require gun shops to be federally licensed and registered, and allow only the purchase or sale of guns through a registered shop?
At least that would disallow easy (and sometimes illegal) access through people who have no capacity (or willingness) to do a background check on someone.- Tracking the sale of guns, like fertilizer, to watch for dubious combinations would help.aaux

I'm not sure of what exact laws would help. I'm not a legislator. But I do know that I can walk into a store and buy some pretty heavy duty weapons without anyone blinking. That just seems a little too easy.
- i can go to a lawn sale and buy a rifle or a shotgun. That doesn't seem quite right eitherlocustsloth

I believe that anyone should be able to defends itself no matter what
If you take away the gun from the populace, you increase the chance to be subverted by the "law"
