We have gun control. That is why the question the article asks is what law could have changed stopped it.
We are not without gun laws here. We have a lot of laws in this
Pizzaman's point is that American gun control is not equivalent to German gun control, though. His argument is in the details.
From the article he linked:
In other words, yeah, we have gun control laws, but as long as the Supreme Court continues to (foolishly) recognize an individual right to firearms with no relation to a militia, an interpretation that's only a little over a decade old, then yeah, no version of American gun control laws are ever going to be effective.
Fully automatic weapons are heavily restricted here. Can you think of one ever being used in a crime? I can't.
Do you think that would change anything? Do you think the criminals would say, Oh Crap! I can't afford the liability insurance. Do you think that would have stopped the Kansas City shooting?
That wouldn't have stopped the Kansas City shooting either. They didn't legally own the firearms.
