Let me know if I calculated this wrong.

I don't see a guy like Lanza getting his hands on a gun with the kind of policy that Great Britain has. He stole the weapons from his mother, who had them legally, let's not forget.

Because taking a chance on policy that affects one culture, population and demographic and simply applying it to another completely different scenario is ridiculous and misguided.
If you wanna make comparisons without any regard to the differences in the culture and population, then let's just arbitrarily throw Mexico's gun laws into the discussion and let you try to explain that away...

Mexican criminals get the majority of their weapons from the U.S. because they have strict gun control laws. If we were to enact stricter laws, it could potentially bring down violent crime in the U.S. AND Mexico.
All that said, I still haven't read through your novel of a post earlier. I'm a little drunk and think I may wanna be a bit more lucid when I speak on it.
