There are states where the bar is set higher than others, but a state cannot ignore federal requirements.

Thank you for that.

when are people going to wake up and realize that GUNS are NOT the problem. guns don't kill people. PEOPLE kill people. do you think not having a gun would have stopped him from killing those little girls? they were bound, they couldn't get away, he could have beaten them to death. GUNS are not the issue. Look at Scotland. Guns are banned and knife crime has more than doubled AND there is still gun violence. Now they are wanting to ban knives. What next? sticks and stones?

The only people banning guns is going to hurt is the law abiding citizens. These petty thugs will find guns elsewhere... like out of the trunk of a car.

Even Gov. Rendell said it today... MORE gun control is not going to solve this issue (and he is a gun control advocate) but even he realized that banning guns are not going to stop people like this. He said "if you are determined to take someone else's life and are willing to die NOTHING is going to stop you from carrying through.

Start punishing the PEOPLE that commit these crimes and stop blaming the inanimate object.

I have passed by this school on many occassion. I live in Lancaster, PA. it is shocking to hear somthing like this from a town like this. Such a horrible tragedy. I only wish the gunman didn't get off so easily. I wish they could have fed him to the inmates. a$$hole
