Wishing for the safety of kids is a noble sentiment Phillygirl16, but we need to remove the CRIMINALS from the street to do that. Punishing legal, law abiding gun owners with more laws that criminals will not follow anyway is not the way to go. ALL of these miscreants were repeat offenders and as such should not have been on the street to begin with. I would like to mention that I own several military style weapons, including an Chinese SKS rifle, and none of them has ever been used in an illegal manner. Responsible gun owners are LAWFUL PEOPLE! Firearms are in-animate objects and harm no one. They are machines not unlike your car. It takes an animal like cain and his buddies to turn it into a weapon of murder.
