The gun laws only impact legal gun owners and never have any effect on criminals in any way. When are people going to wake up and understand that it is the criminals who are the problem and not legal law abiding gun owners. Instead of making more laws about guns they should concider making penalities for the illegal use of firearms more harsh. When a gun is used in a crime there should be a mandatory 20 year sentence for the crime, no plea bargains or deals allowed. In VT if there had been a person with a concealed carry permit and a weapon there might not have been so many killed. I believe the reason we haven't had any terrorist shootings in malls is because they believe a lot of Americans carry guns and they don't want to take the chance. A shooting like this never could have happened back in the old west because someone would have killed him quickly.
