We won't be able to repeal our Firearms Registry now.

[L. Cooper]

I think it is very sad that too many people can't handle anything but simple solutions to complex problems. Some are blaming guns; others are blaming Goths. Both are wrong.

Anyone who shoots knows guns don't create such mental illness, and anyone who knows Goth culture understands they don't create it either. Both guns and Goth attract such people, but neither is responsible for the anger, frustration, and alienation that a kid like Gill was living.

The answer is to licence owners, not guns. The fact that both I and Gill have obeyed all the registration crap laws did nothing at all to prevent the shooting. But guns scare people and people vote. The conservatives (and all the others) are much more interested in votes than in rational laws.

I don't believe they can get enough support to change the ineffective and wasteful gun law mess we have now.
