PaybackGun control laws have always been about making sure a militia doesn't form to overthrow the duly elected secretariat. It has nothing to do with public safety.
If someone wants to go around killing a bunch of people with a gun, they will do that. Period. It happens up here in Canada and we have higher barriers to gun ownership than even what US gun control advocates are asking for. I can go out and buy a fully automatic AK-47 within minutes and I'm in sleepy old Victoria. I've met the people who have access, and they don't care if you're a whack job.
What we don't have is routine legal gun deaths from people who merely get pissed off. THAT is the US problem. Emotions, not insanity.
newtboyI really think gun control laws are about making sure an armed mob doesn't form TRY to overthrow authority.
They are also an attempt, granted a poor attempt, to put roadblocks in the way of whack jobs and irate murderous people in (often vain) hopes that they'll either be calmed by the wait or denied. While those roadblocks can be circumvented, they do likely stop many crimes of passion that would otherwise turn to attempted murders just by making the gunmen wait. Of course, that does nothing to stop dispassionate murderers or those that stay mad longer than the 10 day wait.
Also, both of those are huge US problems....uncontrolled emotions AND insanity. ;-)

JanuariAhhh perfectly little NRA sheeple. One argument get crushed... all of the sudden its not about that anymore.
We're just going to pretend to know things we couldn't possibly about the president's anecdote (and good chance its nothing more than hypothetical) and pretend like THAT is what we're really pissed about... ignoring the original all together.
Such good little NRA sheeples.
hatsixWait... am I hearing correctly that the NRA (and the commenters here supporting them) support the terrorists' abilities to form their own militia in the US to overthrow the current government?
notarobotlistening to the tone in Obama's voice as he addresses that question, you can tell a nerve has been struck.
