    I refuse to believe that it is beyond us to regulate access to weapons that can enable a madman to shoot 500+ people in cold blood.

        We regulate the ability to obtain bombs, biologic agents, or chemicals that can cause mass casualties. We can do the same for guns.

        Incorrect. Either way, the weapons the shooter purchased were semi-auto and modded after purchase.

        Pre-1986 legal. Yes, mod AR-15 possible. Beside the point. Many additional ways to limit # rounds, access, etc.

        20 six and seven year olds gunned down and no one did anything. Not so hard to believe after that.

        couldn't we protect citizens from having to be regularly searched, if we instead regulated the small percentage of people with guns

        Perhaps the compulsive need to own an orgy of weaponry - retrofitted to make mass-murder as easy as possible - is a sign of mental illness.

        A sign that comes too late, as he was regarded prior to this as a "normal" guy.

        Was he? I heard: kept to himself, multiple divorces, and compulsive gambler. And, I suspect we will soon hear about some gambling debts.

        Compare to today's standards, other than gambling addiction which cannot be "seen" generally, yes, he was considered normal.
