Same as my link Clete, but a different source. You probably need a prescription to read it.
More Americans Are Carrying Handguns Than Ever Before – Mother Jones
Just the facts Clete . 3 million legal gun carriers . Are they all mass murderers ? Mother Jones is goofy wrong . Gun violence is in the decline .

So you think the more guns in possession of citizens the less gun violence? But our experience demonstrates the opposite, so we have to look elsewhere for answers. Could it be your rate of detention has something to do with it, less violent criminals on the streets? On perhaps it is a better educated society, but then it could just be statistical error, or dilution due to population growth, perhaps you passed out of the era where there was more mental illness due to PTSD arising from war, you could also corralate it with the war on drugsQuote:

I think this was more about effective law enforcement than anything to do with gun control.
No you miss it, he was impeded in his plan because he couldn't just walk into a store and buy a gun. Was he smart? Probably not, I don't think most of these jihadist types are smart. I don't doubt there were some in muslim community who could have provided him a weapon, but he can't be as open about it here as he could be in your society. Our law enforcement look for signs of radicalisation. When I was his age I owned a gun, long rifle, that wouldn't be permitted todayQuote:

The damn fool should have gotten hooked up with the black market like any self respecting nefarious loony.
Yes but our black market isn't as well developed, he probably would have needed to get involved with muslim bikies and they are more interested in drugs than jihadQuote:
