I feel you completely missed my point. I did not say that mass killings do not happen, nor that those who commit them are sane. What I was saying was that by taking guns out of the hands of good people that what they rely on for protection is now gone.

Now you also mentioned that people should not be allowed to have automatics. I would say that the main purpose of a LAW against automatic guns would be to prevent criminals from getting them correct? Now what is a criminal? A criminal is someone who breaks the LAW. So what happens is normal law abiding people lose their automatics which they use for things like defense, shooting competitions, training in for military, and various other things which do not kill people. Then criminals break the law and get automatic guns anyway and use them for things like robberies, murder, mass killings, and various other activities that put people in harms way. Also you mentioned countries that have gotten rid of guns, so I will go ahead and mention that some of the first things that Hitler and Stalin did was get rid of their peoples access to guns. I am not saying that countries that get rid of guns are ruled by tyranical dictators bent on commiting mass genocide either. I will say this though (though i'm sure somebody will make fun of me just as you made fun of Texans), with the way our country is going, unless republicans and democrats can find a way to get along and start compromising, that our society will fall, and while that might not be in our lifetime when it does happen chaos and anarchy will likely follow just like with rome. And the people who will survive that will be the people that are armed or will eventually take up arms. I've made my case and I will stand by views, and I'll respect yours.
