And if we got the horrific photos after the Nice truck attack or the Christmas Market attack in Germany we might realize that being killed by a truck is no less horrifying.

What's your point? We should not outlaw guns because vehicles can still be used to kill people?

Evil people are going to use whatever tools they can get their hands on to commit mass murders. Whether it is flying planes into the world trade center, a truck into a crowded market, or shooting up Charlie Hebdo for publishing cartoons of Mohammed. These barriers can be overcome by the ideologically motivated. Japan has very strict gun control and Shinzo Abe was still assassinated by a firearm, even if it was an improvised one

Right but after the planes were used we started locking cockpit doors and added air marshalls.

Shouldn't we respond to the almost daily mass murder and political gun violence? Australia turned the corner on guns. We can too.

Or do you want 5yo children to grow up with active shooter drills?
