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.

Dr Gawande, since you are a research scientist, I challenge you to read John Lotts data driven books on guns such as “More guns, less crime”
-
Data driven doesn't mean good data. I refuse to accept this too

And we expect better data evaluation from you, Dr Galloway, rather than a scientist who picks data that supports your preferred conclusion.
-
Actually John Lotts data is excellent. Have you read his books? If not kinda hard to comment on quality don’t you think?
-
And yet we have more crime, more suicide, and more murder and mass murder, than any Western nation with gun control. Odd?
-
That point was brought up! More guns wouldn't have done any good! What would you be shooting at a concrete building! For crying out loud!

The fully automatic weapons used in the attacks are already regulated since the great depression.

they actually cant make them anymore. But any that were made are legal to buy with lots of restrictions. But w/money, available 4 purchase

Exactly,
@Atul_Gawande is claiming there are little regulation. But in fact lot already exist. Not very easy to get full auto rifles.

We regulate the ability to drive a car for road safety, food ingredients and handling for public health. This is a public health crisis.

We can regulate the access to bombs because there is no "Nat'l. Bomb Association." Thankfully. NRA & its influence = a disgrace.
