You mention the percentage of the worlds firearms in U.S. Citizens hands and yet you fail recognizing that the vast majority firearms owners don't use their arms to harm others.

For someone in the media you have failed to explain the reason the murderer could go and make the purchase of the weapon used. Look up "Eliminating the School to Prison Pipeline" Broward County. This little program kept the murders threats of violence and violent acts from being arrested and place in the BCI System. So when the back ground check was made, he didn't have an issue. This was a PC program put into effect and signed by many Broward County officials including the sheriff.

As far as more laws, for who? I'm fairly sure murder is illegal in every State. Yet you're upset and want more laws that criminals by definition will not obey.

Explain your 100 people lost to gun violence, almost 2/3rds are suicide. Violent yes but self inflicted. Don't start with "well maybe they wouldn't commit suicide if the gun wasn't available", Japan has more suicides per capita with very few firearms.

You write about a "pitiful defense against Abrams tanks and airborne artillery". You may find that many of those solders will do what they swore to do "Defend the Constitution against Enemies both Foreign and Domestic". You may also want to look through history and see where smaller forces have taken on larger forces and won. Don't worry about our Military worry about our political leaders that only want more power. With the sweep of a pen Politicians will attempt to make criminals out of good citizens because they own firearms, not that they actually did anything violent against others.

The last thing to give a little thought to is some thing Thomas Jefferson said, "The Beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it" after all when they come to take the guns they're sending people with GUNS.
