It's not the gun's fault. It also wasn't a bat's fault that Babe Ruth hit all those home runs. But if he didn't have a bat, he wouldn't have hit ANY home runs.

We already have gun control - nobody is allowed to have automatic weapons, grenades, bazookas, tanks, or heat-seeking missiles. Where do you draw the line? I think the line should be pulled back to where these incidents are not so easy to commit. Hunters can still hunt; people can still protect themselves. But people don't really need access to assault rifles.

It isn't solely a mental health issue, although that certainly is a big part of this tragedy. But until we completely eliminate the mental health issue, howzabout we stop having assault weapons so readily available? Seems to me we'd all be safer. Common sense.
