gun owner says, "Do any of you really think someone like Cho won't get the guns if he wants them?"

Lets face it, ordering a gun by mail and walking across the street to pick it up is alot easier than finding a gun through criminal means.

Lets get back to why guns make it easier to kill than any other weapon. Guns allow you to distance yourself from the act. Almost any other weapon requires action on the part of the killer. When you feel alienated from society, what better way of remaining apart than putting a gun between you and the victim(s). Its the perfect weapon for the mentally unstable.

btw gun lovers - Your right to shoot animals or play target games does not and should not supercede my right to safety. How does your gun ownership protect my defenceless child sitting in a classroom?
