I like the way you gloss over the fact that NOBODY WAS KILLED IN THE CHINA ATTACK. 22 injuries versus 26 deaths. You don't think that's significant?

Assault weapons bans are only part of it. No one thing is going to fix the gun problem in this country. That's not even high up on my list of cares because if you're a responsible person with a shotgun you're more than likely going to be just as responsible with an AR-15. You have to figure out a way to keep them out of the hands of the mentally ill. Japan only allows shotguns only after getting a license including a background check, completion of safety course, passing a written and practical test, a psych test, and verifying that they have secure storage. They've had 11 gun homicides in the last year, compared to the +9,000 in the US. Their policy is on the extreme side and would die a painful death if anyone tried to enact it in the US, but Australia and the UK also passed huge gun reform after massacres in their countries with huge decreases in the numbers of gun deaths. In the US, what, you need to just apply for a gun license, and as long as you don't have a history of shooting people up or extremely violent behavior you can get one? Really?

So its the numbers that matter to you?
7 children stabbed to death..8 children and 2 adults hacked to death in kindergarten...Yea, Simple, this time no one was killed in China!
You missed the point though.
If someone wants to perpetrate this kind of evil they are going to find a way.

But you can't kill 26 people in minutes with a knife. Or a hammer. Or a machete. Or whatever other weapon people are throwing around as an example.
