Who cares, many lives are being taken away by guns. Human lives are more important than the 2nd ammendment.

Lives were always taken since the beginning of civilization. The 2nd Amendment did not create murder.

Many lives have been saved by it as well. But, you would never hear about those events in the media nearly as often. They don't sell as well as tragedy.

[QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"] If what you are saying is true tell me then how someone like Adam Lanza would be able to acquire the means necessary to murder as many people as he did if he had to acquire these means illegally.

-Sun_Tzu-

He didn't aquire the weapons he used legally, he stole them from his mother. In fact, he broke 41 laws before he fired a shot in that school under Connecticut laws.

He could have obtained them the same way any criminal obtains illegal items. By buying them from other criminals.

[QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"] There are mentally ill people throughout the developed world, yet the US is the only one of these countries that has to deal with these shootings at such an alarming rate. -Sun_Tzu-

The United States has a vastly different set of circumstances than most countries.

Class seperations, guns per citizens, poverty levels. Just to name a few.

[QUOTE="champion837"] I think that their fears of such an issue that isn't of necessity (guns aren't water) shouldn't matter when it comes to children being killed.champion837

Under the original premise of the 2nd Amendment. Guns are absolutely necessary.

[QUOTE="Serraph105"][QUOTE="champion837"] I am talking about solutions, there will always be mentally ill people on the planet. We can't decide whether or not we have mentally ill people, we can however decide whether or not to have guns.champion837

This was a mentally ill person who's weapon of choice was a gun. This is a mental illness issue.

I am a gun owner on gamespot who is only in fear of losing a choice.

[QUOTE="champion837"] Of course the issue is human life and that should be addressed, but how can't it be gun control? This was a violence with a gun.-Sun_Tzu-

[QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"] Why does the rarity of these shootings matter? And of course you can prepare for something that occurs (seemingly) spontaneously. It's ridiculous to say otherwise. champion837

What matters here is that these shooting sprees will never stop regardless of any legislation preventing the lawful sale of firearms. So long as guns exist, there will be a person who will use them to murder. Implementing gun control that will only ostricize millions of law abiding Americans as the result of rare occurence is wrong.

Because gun control takes away a choice of millions of Americans who choose to own guns for any lawful purpose.
