In every tragedy there is a silver lining - and if this Colorado shooting catastrophe brings us any closer to banning recreational ownership of assault rifles and handguns in the US, then maybe something can come of it.
It's just too easy to get a hold of a gun.

Things like Automatic weapons SHOULD be banned and we should make customers provide ID as proof that their 18.
But I'd be opposed to outright banning of firearms.

One must provide ID to purchase a firearm. It's been federal law for several decades.
