Joe,
 
I totally agree getting rid of guns will eliminate gun crime.

The crucial point is Australia DID pass gun legislation and because of it DID succeed in reducing gun violence. So it is ignorance to say gun control can't reduce gun crime. As a matter of fact, it happened in Australia! It could happen here and if we're going to have a dialogue on this topic, we should be willing to think outside the box and try to see what kinds of solutions we can reach.

Unlikely anyone will be getting that to pass through US Courts. Australia is more isolated and had fewer weapons and no laws protecting gun ownership rights.

>>Some form of gun control has got to be part of the solution. And I believe all the guns used in recent shootings were legally purchased. That's why some form of gun control has got to be part of the solution. Australia did it, so can we

>>Gun laws are not the answer to this problem. Not allowing for the public release of the gunman's name would go further then gun laws, as they usually do it for fame. Education of staff, students, and community members, and better protection of schools would also help. This kid did not get the guns legally, and no reasonable restrictive gun law would have prevented it. There are a host of other things that would have helped though.
