If people are determined or driven to kill one or more people. The existence 
of gun laws regardless of how strict is not going to keep them from obtaining
a firearm. I tend to look at a firearm as a tool. By itself, it doesn't hurt
or do anything good or bad. It takes a person to decide what the firearm is 
used for. I personally have no problems with gun laws that prevent gun
onwership or possesion by people who A) Haven't been trained in the safe
operation of a firearm. B) Violent criminal history. C) History of mental or
emotional instability.
