I would say we need to enforce the laws.
Bush Tax Cuts == Job Killer
June 2001: 132,047,000 employed
June 2003: 129,839,000 employed
2.21 million jobs were LOST after 2 years of Bush Tax Cuts.

And more importantly find the source of why the go on these rampages in the first place as it doesn't seem to happen 1/8th as much in other developed countries.

Guns don't kill people... disgruntled idiots do and the USA seems to have a whole heap of em.

Something that doesn't leave a mess behind. Dead by shotgun is sometimes a way to punish family members.

Go in style: rent a Lamborgini and die in the driver seat via carbon monoxide.

Pfffttt, buy a Vanquish S with credit and die driving it off a cliff at 200mph.

Is it really any surprise that suicidal people choose the quickest and most effective way to kill themselves?
