You have a good point about the illegal firearms (which is horrifying by the way), but removing the ability to purchase guns from your local Walmart or Gun Show will make an impact. Baby steps.

Don't disarm me, a law abiding citizen who acquires a firearm through legitimate means, that's all I ask. We're a country that was founded on fighting the system, perhaps stronger gun laws are a viable option but banning them is just asking for more problems. I know a lot of people from other countries have something to say and that's fine but they have to remember that with the amount of firearms already circulating in this country taking them off the legal market would make little difference when it comes to tragedies like this.
I also hear where your coming from about not being able to find the words to say, this event makes me sick to my stomach. The problem is bad people, and there are so many because in our country (as well as all over the world but I see it more-so on my own doorstep) we treat each other like dirt. I'm no hippy, I'm not saying we need to all hold hands and sing, but we need to start respecting one another or things will just get worse as human-kind circles the drain.
