@Chaos Prime: I don't believe gun laws are going to slow gun crime down at all, or at least not significantly. Even with background checks, people can still change after they buy a concealed weapon... Plus, there's plenty of guns already circulating around illegally that have already been bought. I doubt any gun laws they can pass now are going to make a difference. At least as far as I've looked into it.
People who want to get guns for criminal intents will always be able to find them. There's absolutely nothing a few law changes could have done to keep James Holmes from getting his hands on some weapons.
However, the laws that I think should be changed are the laws concerning carrying concealed handguns. If a single viewer in that theater had been packing, a lot less people would have gotten hurt.

This, the only reason why people are killed by a gunman or the reason why they run and hide trying to get away is because they have no way to defend themselves. If one of the people(or more) had a gun, turned and killed the guy there would have been fewer deaths, if people know others have guns they wouldn't attempt to kill anyone because the victims would have a chance at defending themselves. Ya I know cops are around for the people's protection but....cops can't be everywhere at once and by the time they do show up several people have already been killed.

But what happens when the other person misses and kills someone else?
What surprises me is that people wait for something like the Aurora shooting to happen to talk about gun laws, disregarding the fact that gun-related crimes happen all of the time, all over the country.
The argument that if folk were armed it would never had happened doesnt wash with me im afraid to say.
Ok with a rapist/thief in ur house thats a different matter.
But in public? Armed? just sounds crazy to me.
Believe it or not im not against people owning hand-Guns to protect their property etc etc.
But why would someone own a semi-automatic Machine gun? Dont tell me its for hunting because alot of my family on my mums side are hunters & not one of em owns a machine gun or the like.
Imo the law needs to change in the U.S.If Guns make it safer then the U.S.A should be the safest place on the planet.
Don't know what the majority wants. I don't care about guns, and am not interested in them in the slightest. I also don't care if other people are. In my opinion we're fine where we're at. Address root cause, address WHY people kill other people. Quit messing around with what they're using.

IMO, fixing the root cause is more impossible than getting rid of the guns. if we can't stop people from wanting to kill, why not take away the weapon that makes it so much easier to kill?
