It is not an easy issue. For example, the vast majority of guns used in mass shootings were obtained legally, so you could make the argument that gun control laws have no effect, or you could make the argument that they just aren't strict enough depending on your particular leaning on the subject. It is like any other that becomes a political lightning rod - the same data can be interpreted however you want.
It is pretty easy to take moral high ground when you're a basement dwelling shut in EQ emu player though. Try having a daughter in grade school and a wife that works in a major metro area downtown office building. Then how you feel about it becomes more practical and less about philosophy.

Since the Lindt cafe incident my wife is scared of going out in the city and didn't want me participating in Sydney city to surf. She gets paranoid every time she sees a heavily bearded Arab on the train with a backpack or shoulder bag when commuting home from the city since they can just as easily have a sawn off shot gun.
The guy that shot a police employee in the back of the head screaming Alah Ackbar a few months ago was fucking 15 years old. Gun control does shit all to stop people who don't give a fuck about laws.
