Partially true, but using the same example from China, the punishment for owning/selling a gun could go as far as death. This is why that guy who decided to use a knife wasn't able to just 'buy' a gun from anywhere because nobody wants to sell it in the first place. Doesn't exactly answer your point but...

I personally don't think background checks are enough because you could simply ask someone else to buy it for you. I simply hope the US government would do a better job on gun control because from Canada's point of view, americans can't go on for one day without pulling a gun to each other's face.

Why are guns allowed in the U.S. again? I never really bothered to find out, they cause more harm than good.[/quote]

[quote=looklooklook]If guns weren't so easily accessible...there was a recent case in China where this dude decided to stab people at a school. The point? Nobody died (only injured) and that you could at least run from a knife.[/quote]

People can just get the illegally so it wouldn't matter if there were background checks.

People need to understand that making headline news with terror isn't a sport... -.-;

To be quite honest the Patriots who built this nation were terrorists, but regarding the topic, there's been a lot of apocalyptic surges happening recently... Really scary and depressing...
