On average, guns did not protect those who possessed them from being shot in an assault, victims in possession of firearms are 4.5 times more likely to be shot and 4.2 times more likely to be killed than those who were unarmed. In other words, during a crime, you are more likely to be killed when carrying a gun than if you were not carrying. Carrying a GUN makes you more vulnerable, NOT LESS!

So how would you further "control" guns, Hammer?
-
This makes no sense. Now because crazy people go and walk into public places and kill people EVERYONE should lose their right to own a gun.

I haven't done much research into the subject, but just off the top of my head here are some things I'd implement:
-Stricter background checks. The ease of buying guns at gun shows w/o background checks needs to end.
-Prohibit anyone, other than minor traffic violator, from buying guns. Anyone with the sense of mind to commit any crime doesn't deserve to own a firearm.
-Use palm recognition on all new firearms
-Increase the price of ammunition

Only the irresponsible people.
If you have any criminal record whatsoever you should be prohibited from owning a gun.
Maybe implement psychological evaluations before being able to purchase a firearm.

As stupid as it sounds, this is the only thing that might help. There are already 300,000,000 guns out in the USA. It wouldn't help in our lifetimes but maybe in 100 years.

Uh, you do have to have a background check to buy a gun at gun shows.
And do you honestly think all these gang-bangers and ne'er-do-wells actually go through the process to buy guns that can be traced back to them?

Raise the price of ammunition so they can't afford it.
-
Yeah, the drug dealers pulling in a G a week tax free won't be able to afford it.

No, the only solution (and it's not going to happen) would be for everybody and I mean everybody to hand in their guns and for them to be tightly controlled - like they are in other countries. People only feel threatened in the US because every other cnut has a gun. It's not an issue, here in Australia - I don't have to worry about other people having guns because few people do.
But at this stage, that's a ridiculous notion and reality is that a massacre every now and again is just par for the course. Suck it up. This is a consequence of people getting what they wanted. You want the right to bear arms. So does the guy who doesn't quite understand the value of a human being's life. You don't know this, but there are a lot of him around and they're really quite normal - they just don't fully grasp a few aspects of life and if things go wrong for them, they might express that quite viscerally.
But even if our amoral friend can't get a gun - that guy has a bit of a psychopathic brother and guess what, he doesn't really store his guns very carefully. People who have no driving license still seem to be able to get behind the wheel.
All this stuff is like grains of sand falling through your fingers. You can't stop everything. People will be run over on the road. People will die if there is enough of something dangerous around.
It's sad, but it's not really anybodies fault - it's just something that was ingrained in the culture and I don't think there is any way to cure it. Too late.

Other countries like Norway ?

Raising the price of ammunition will create an illegal trade of lower priced ammunition and ensure that every piece of ammunition in the country will be bought NOW, prior to the price increase and stored, just in case (still going to be stockpiles of it everywhere) - so it is a massively long term project to do so.
Also, people who invest their life in a suicide have no interest in putting food on their table, tomorrow - therefore, they have a fairly hefty retirement fund in terms of assets to liquidate in order to acquire ammunition, so you're not really stopping those who are prepared to invest everything in their last few moments.

Breivik killed 77 people. 9 people per year per 100k population died to firearm deaths in the US in 2008-2010. 77/9 = 8.5. That means, in those years, there was a cumulative Breivik for every 850k people in your country. That basically means, ever year, there are 350~ Breiviks worth of killing (almost one a day). A "Breivik" would be an interesting standard of metric, wouldn't it :)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate
Clearly, you can only mitigate it by reducing the amount of guns available. Shit will happen. Breivik could not be stopped - the one thing that he has above the recent perpetrators of massacres in the US is that he is a coherent human being. He's been labelled as "criminally insane" - but the man speaks with absolute clarity and as such, he could get a gun anywhere where they will give them out for hunting purposes. He is a grain of sand that will always fall through fingers, whereever he was.
Shit will happen where ever there is the possibility - but you cannot argue the fact that in the US, because of the amount of guns, it will happen MORE.
But.. you know what.. I'd have bought a gun if I lived in the US, too. Can't blame anyone for not feeling safe.
Take away the guns then only criminals have them.
It's not criminals you most have to fear - it's your fellow citizen.

No, it's your government.

I don't care how many half ass, weak arguments/scenarios are made up against gun control, numbers don't lie. The numbers of murders in countries with gun control vs ours is astonishing and should end any argument!
If you don't make adaptations as a culture based on changing times, you will crumble. The second amendment is an antiquated principle that needs to be altered or abolished and the constitution was not without it's flaws and should be reassessed depending on circumstances.

All you stupid fucks that are scared of guns. Guns aren't the problem here. It's the fucking lunatics that kill innocent people.
This guy could have just as easily mowed down these people with a semi truck or other vehicle or a bomb.
What would want to ban if that happened?
Banning shit does not stop crime.
Terrorism, hijacking planes, flying planes into buildings...all illegal last time I checked!

And then what is next.
Knife wielding man goes on rampage in Chinese school
Twenty-two school children and an elderly woman have reportedly been injured after a knife-wielding man went on the rampage outside a school in central China.The attack took place at around 7.40am Friday morning as children arrived for class at a primary school in Henan province's Chenpeng village.
State-run news agency Xinhua said police had arrested a 36-year-old villager named as Min Yingjun. A local reporter He Zhengquan, described the attack as a "vicious incident." "One mental patient charged into a group of students on their way to school, hacked and injured one resident and 22 students," he wrote. Police were putting their "full efforts" into rescuing the injured, Mr He added. A photograph, posted online, showed one apparently injured child being carried into a hospital. It was not clear if there had been any fatalities.
An official at a local hospital told Associated Press the man had attacked an elderly woman before setting on the children and then being controlled by school guards. Recent years have seen a series of often-deadly attacks on Chinese schools. Among the worst was a March 2010 attack, when a man used a knife to kill eight students outside a school in Fujian province. Two months later a man armed with a meat cleaver killed seven children and two women at a nursery in Shaanxi province. He then committed suicide.

Let's see. Bob costas I'm sure lives in a gated community with armed response. Id be willing to bet if someone broke into his home with and had a gun, threatens his family and the police didn't have guns, he'd be singing a different tune. Or how about if some breaks into your home, stands over your family or kids how would protect them? If you saw an armed robber coming through a window in the middle of the night, what would you do? Personally, in each incident, he wouldn't make it out alive.
