Sure we should preach gun safety. That will doubtlessly save lives. Did you really think I was going to disagree with that?

Another way to save lives, potentially, is to remove weapons of extraordinarily high lethality that serve no legitimate purpose other than to make insecure folks feel like Rambo for a little while.

Teaching gun safety could go a long way to reducing accidental gun deaths. But that's a different scenario than what happens when someone decides thet want to be remembered as a mass murderer, right?

In that scenario (random mass murder), it seems to me that the harder it is for the kook to get these weapons, the safer our children are. I'm stunned that there's almost universal resistance to that notion here.
