But it works in Canada... and Australia and everywhere else. So are you saying that Californians are just too stupid and violent for rules ? Or that you guys haven't found the RIGHT legislations ?

Gun control has no effect on crime rates. What it does effect, however, is the homicide rate. It decreases it.

I don't know the solution. More gun control, less guns - etc... I only know I want one... and that we need one. I just hope that we all can come together in deciding - and not let the issue continue to divide us as time passes and victims are slowly forgotten.... until it happens again...

Yes, 'cause to drive outside CA and buy whisky and get free revolver in Nevada is SOOOOO HARDDDD :) No guns, no shooting in schools. And in any case – what's wrong with no gun policy?

It doesnt matter how much gun control we have. If anyone really REALLY wanted to get a gun for whatever reason, they will get it one way or another. Theres this thing called the black market and if people look hard enough for it, they will find it. And this is one of those cases where a handful of deviants ruin the image and reputation of the rest of the friendly and lawful. 1 person happens to be mentally ill, gets an illegal gun, and does a shooting and apparently everyone else who owns a gun has to give them up because of it, no questions asked?

Works where Michel O'Narey? Australia's homicide rates and mass murder rates were not affected by their gun ban. Same with UK. Look it up.

It's people like you @Cynthia Campbell who make the changes hard. Guns don't belong in civil life ... and you are one reason why all these people get killed ... because you stop the progress to get rid of guns (gun control is just a step in between). Criminals are not just criminals ... they are normal people until they commit a crime. When normal people have guns their crimes are devastating. Greetings from Australia with no guns and no mass shootings.

You do realize cynthia that the gun owners in the mass shootings were all legal?

Oh please - 10 massacres since gun control was implemented is c**p! As accurate as your claim the UK had its Labour Prime Minister shot. Hint, the current UK PM, David Cameron, is a member of the Conservative Party. The unfortunate politician who was shot & stabbed was a Labour Member of Parliament. Some basic research may prevent you from posting drivel next time.

Australia hasn't had a mass shooting since we banned guns after Port Arthur. Not sure where you're getting your facts from, but you may need to re-check that. Australia has crime, like any society but we don't have 3 years olds learning about mass shootings and how to keep safe during one.

That's true, Barry. You don't have massacres anymore. And if the US bans guns *and removes them from the market, ends a $3-4 billion dollar industry*, it probably won't have massacres too. However, just like in Australia, you'll see an insane raise in crime. Australians are disarmed and with globalism, you can buy cheaper illegal guns. Crime is rising.
