If you want to take away my semiautomatic because a psycho use a semiautomatic to kill two people on live TV? Good luck. I will not give up that right, not while I still draw breath.

What about if you can keep your semi-auto, but you just have to have it registered and need a license to own both a gun and bullets.... like Canada?
This tragic event obviously would have never of happened if these basic regulations were enacted.

CRIMINALS DO NOT FOLLOW THE LAW!!!!!
Does no one understand that criminals DO NOT care what the laws are? You can ban EVERY GUN in AMERICIA. And all law abiding citizens will be unarmed when the criminals come after us with guns. This is NOT a gun control issue.

Needing to go though a licensing process is clearly an effective deterrent

I agree with you 100%...this guy was a classic narcissist...whenever there were problems at work, it was the other guy's fault. Whenever he was reprimanded he complained that it was race/gender/sexual orientation rather than his performance or behavior. He was never at fault, he was always right...more importantly he was always a VICTIM. Sometimes victims are like whipped puppies...and then sometimes they internalize and constantly feed the rage inside, until it breaks out.

How would licensing and registration have stopped this incident? In this case, and in many cases, the purchaser passed the background check. The same checks that would go into a licensing system are already implemented in the 4473/instant background check process. I can't see how it would have prevented anything.
That being said, although I do have some serious reservations about it, I'm not theoretically entirely against licensing and registration. I just don't see that it adds any real practical value beyond what we already do.

If you want to see some serious gun violence, then just try to take our guns away.
