Oh...and let's take the Monash Shooting for an example.

Read the wiki on it. He killed 2 students and wounded 5 others. He had a crapload of handguns, no doubt. But read a bit.

When Xiang stopped shooting and moved to switch weapons, Lee Gordon-Brown, the injured lecturer, grabbed Xiang's hands as he reached into his jacket. Gordon-Brown and a student in the room, Alastair Boast, a trained wing chun practitioner, tackled him.

Now consider this. Had Xiang been armed with semi-automatic handguns and assault rifles...what do you think would have happened? We don't really know, but it's probably true that he wouldn't have been stopped, and the 2 dead would have been at least 7.

I'm not a crazed anti-gun advocate. I really believe if we do it right and not half-assed...we can stop mass killing in this country. Will we stop gun violence or gun deaths? Hell, no. But if we can save one innocent from a senseless mass killing it's our duty to try. Those kids in CT should be celebrating Christmas this year instead of lying in the ground because of fanatical pro-gun advocacy. We can HAVE guns...just get rid of the ones we don't need.
