The only way society could be assured that this wouldn't have happened would be if the shooter could not gain possession of a gun.
Impossible, and he/she could have killed with any number of different methods, like explosives. Again Dave what about all of those killers that stab, beat, or strangle their victims?
A law in of itself doesn't stop someone breaking laws, that part is obvious. But yet something needs to be done and I'm quite sure it will be done.
So, you admit the legislation won't stop anything Dave? Interesting, then tell us all why it should be done. Please tell us. That is the definition of insanity Dave, doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results. It would indicate you are either insane, incompetant, or that you have a comepletely different objective Dave. Which of those three things describe you?
Trying to stonewall efforts by using outlandish rhetoric will only get laws passed that doesn't serve anyone. Sort of like by default.
What outlandish rhetoric exactly Dave? Like your admission that any new law won't prevent anything?
The Federal Government is looking at limiting the size of magazines, full background checks, and an outright ban on some guns, logical or not and registration. That is not confiscation, plus not outside of what the Supreme Court has already decided as OK. That is a key point.
Wrong Dave. The US goverment has been successfully sued, along with some states, due to the illegal creation of a firearm owner/serial number database. Subsequently those data bases were ordered destroyed by our court system. The NICS background check does NOT create a record of any specific purchaser owning any particular firearm. There is precident against registration. They may pass it anyway, because they do not care how much of our money they must confiscate from us to argue it in court yet again and again.
Call your Congressman, go to his office and talk reasonably to his Aids. Your State Rep. would be more assessable. Donate a few bucks and the door will open easier.
