Nothing but lame excuses and diversions to rationalize doing NOTHING. There is absolutely no reason not to ban assault weapons and strengthen and enforce existing gun laws. The excuse that it will lead to the ban of all guns, confiscation of legally held guns is nothing short of paranoia.
We'll never be able to stop all gun violence, but what is the downside of having stricter control over who can own a gun and making it very difficult to get an assault weapon? If it stops even one of these attacks it's worth it. Do you want your kids to take an assault weapon with them to the movies or the mall so they can protect themselves?
