However I can also see how if this shit went down in Texas it would result in 30 additional shooting victims because once those rednecks start firing I'm not sure what's going to stop them.
I don't know if any of the ATF/FBI agents at Waco were rednecks though.
Well hypothetically if you take away our guns who's to say it won't be worse next time? I'm not really into letting a bunch of elected officials carry all the firepower in the nation while we sit defenseless. That's just me though.
However I can also see where restricting the sale of "long guns" (I hate that term) would also be helpful. I'd probably also impose harsher sentences for anybody who uses a gun during a crime than we currently do. 5 years for robbing a store with a pistol? Nah make it 15 with no chance of parole.
Shoot and wound somebody and it's proven not to be in self defense? 25 years with no chance of parole.
Kill somebody with a gun? Death or life in prison depending on which side of the ball the judge is holding.
If it doesn't deter people from using guns in crimes at the very least it will keep the assholes who do locked up a long, long, time.
