Courage. If nothing happened after Sandy Hook, nothing will happen unless someone really decides that enough is enough.

But what exactly is enough? Unless we have a solution to this horrendous problem, the current state of affairs will not subside. Just shouting “ban assult rifles” will not solve the problem. We need an elaborte plan reasoned by principle rather than by analogy.

>But what exactly is enough? For the rest of the world, a couple of shootings. For USA, apparently nothing.

The right would say this wouldn't be a problem if more people had guns to defend themselves with. An idiotic argument for sure especially given the details of this current attack (32 stories up... far away, etc).

Even if this happened at an NRA rally or gun show they'd come up with some other excuse.

how about the precautionary principle?

If people aren't within weapons range of each other they can't shoot each other. So force everyone to stay a mile away from everyone else, and increase the range until the problem goes away.

Out of curiosity: how are Norway's gun control laws: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Norway_attacks

All it takes is one dangerous idiot and/or fanatic.

Australia banned guns after a mass shooting in 1996. They've haven't had a mass shooting since.

so what would you say happened June 6th 2017? certainly not a mass shooting... what makes it mass? after that incident, Police said they had stopped 12 similar attacks based on intelligence since September 2014.
