I used to think that too, until someone pointed out that criminals don't obey laws.
Making weapons illegal won't make them impossible to get, after all there's always a black market, but supply and demand will make it harder to get, which will cut down on the opportunity and frequency of crime involving those weapons.

Quote:Shortly after the story first broke, news reports surfaced referencing a Facebook page attributed to Ryan Lanza, the name initially believed to be that of the gunman, who was later identified as Adam Lanza. It had first been floated after police found an ID bearing that name on the gunman's body. The ID turned out to belong to the 20-year-old's brother.
It was the police who started the 'misinformation'. Will they be charged like the others?
To borrow a quote: The king's men are above reproach.
Here's hoping that changes in 4D
