High taxes on guns and strong restrictions on their availability are the only realistic hope for avoiding many more Sandy Hooks.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
More guns are not the answer to keeping our kids and our communities safer.
I wish that there were more stringent laws to make guns sold anywhere that they're legal harder to get.
We need sensible gun safety measures. The federal government could do something about this; they could show up.
Since the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School three years ago, we have lost over 90,000 Americans to gun violence. This is a manmade crisis that needs to be treated as the public health epidemic it has become.
We're going to see fugitives and felons, eventually, being able to get guns much more easily.
There are too many guns in the hands of people that shouldn't have guns. There is too much gun violence in America.
Money is not our primary aim. Changing the behavior and the practice of the gun industry is.
So many deaths could be prevented if measures were implemented to expand background checks and keep individuals like John Hinckley from ever buying firearms in the first place.
You can pass all the gun legislation you want. None of it will make me feel any more or less safe than I do right at this moment.
There is no way the American public will sit still for the banning of or putting any significant restrictions on the kinds of guns they want.
