[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What gun control regulations would you impose if you could?  Explain why you think your proposal would prevent another Newton?[/quote]

I would start first with the assault rifles.  Why does any civilian need an assault rifle?  yes, a handgun can kill kids, too (as it does ever year either by accident or not).  But it doesn't take a genius to realize that a handgun would've done much less damage than an assault rifle.

Secondly, we need to close the loopholes for gun checks.  Why can you buy a gun at a gun show with no background checks?  Buying a gun over the internet should be illegal as well.  Guns should only be sold at government sanctioned stores, like we do with alcohol in DMV area.

Is this going to prevent all school shootings? Probably not, but it will surely make it harder for people to get their hands on it.  And let's be clear, the vast majority (if not all) of the school shootings were committed by boys/men from middle/upper class families, not by gang-bangers/felons.  Yes, felons will get their hands on a gun from the black market and that is a problem, too.  But if stricter gun control can reduce school shootings and save the lives of little children, I think it's worth this.
