Gun Owners vs. Murderers

On July 20th, 2012, James Holmes walked into a theater in Aurora, Co. and started shooting randomly at the patrons there. In the carnage he shot 71 people with 12 of them being fatal. This is giving more leverage to the government for their gun control agenda. How odd that this occurred only months before the Presidential elections. As many have said before me, if you take away our right to bear arms, the only ones that would have them are the criminals because they don't care about laws and the victims of these criminals would not be able to defend themselves and their homes. As most gum owners believe, there are no bad guns, just bad people. The average person that owns weapons, whether for hunting or personal safety, does not go on rampages like that. If they did it would be occurring on a daily basis. Yes there are a lot of sick crazy people in the world, but banning gun ownership is not the answer. They will just obtain weapons illegally. What do you think? Perhaps a stricter screening of those wanting to purchase a weapon?
