Sometimes the onion just makes the point so much better than anything else possibly could.

These poor families. Can you imagine losing your child, especially during the holidays?

Something has to change with gun control. Well, it's going to change anyway. I don't think with this and the Aurora shootings that regulations will remain exactly the same.

I hope not.

Pro-gun types argue that if criminals, or people planning criminal activity, can't get guns legally, they'll get them illegally. That's true to a point, but do we have to make it so EASY? The sheer number of guns out there and lax security of some gun owners means they're relatively easy to obtain - in gun-loving areas, I'd guess a criminal might manage to obtain a gun within a couple random break-ins - and if a family member or acquaintance with bad intentions knows the rudiments of a gun owner's security measures the chances of 'successfully' obtaining a weapon are even higher.

Edited for clarification.
