You simply can't seriously try to make the argument that guns are not the prime cause of the deadliness of these attacks.

All the talk about mental health in this thread. Yes, it is an issue. Can anyone make the case that it's the most relevant issue?

And all this, for what? For the second amendment, that holy of holies? Is it worth the price? The second amendment is just a bone tossed to convince the people who are used to being told what to do by a piece of paper.
You obviously forget that theres a huge illegal gun market here. The criminals will get their guns, leaving the law-abiding without them.
