High pressure anal-spray warning from this guy
When will America wake up to the fact that is is time for total gun control: now. Not tomorrow. Not a week from tomorrow. Next month. Next year. Now.

Now.
Got that, TOTAL gun control. Nothing creepy or Big Brother about that, eh?
His commenters are not quite in agreement, and John goes right into a temper tantrum I've not seen since my 3 year old couldn't have a cookie
When will you all wake up to the fact that guns kill. How many more tragedies do we need before you wake up and smell the gun powder. I may be a "gun control nitwit," as you say, but you are all gun nuts as far as I am concerned.
My response as follows (Examiners generally don't result in Reasoned Discourse, but you never know).
John, You are acting like a small child, throwing a tantrum because you cannot understand what the adults are telling you. Let me say this clearly – You have no clue what you are talking about. None. First, you have marked the NRA as some sort of boogey-man, as if the 290,000,000 guns in circulation are all owned by NRA members (4,000,000 the last time I counted). Gun owners do not equal the NRA. The fact that you have to generalize and lie destroys your argument. Second, would you not agree that murder is against the law? If someone is going to break that law, what magical other law do you propose that will make them think "Heck, I'd kill this guy, but that would mean breaking law X, and I can't break that one!"? Loophole? There is no loophole. I can sell you a toaster, an old bed sheet, a set of golf clubs, or a gun from my collection. Do you consider home cooked meals to be a 'restaurant loophole'? You're pretty clear with your goal – remove all firearms from the populace. All of them. Good luck. There's 270,000,000 already in circulation. I have many firearms that have no paperwork behind them, ones given as gifts or purchased from friends. How would you suppose the government find them? Warrantless searches? Wiretaps? Maybe we can have TV's with video cameras on them that cover every inch of every room for 24x7 monitoring, a la 1984? Because here's the hard fact that freedom hating individuals like you cannot comprehend from us free people – The answer is No. I will not turn in my guns. Instead of making you safer, you will simply create more criminals. While you might think that they'd throw me in jail and the problem would be solved, good luck doing that for the MILLIONS of other gun owners who feel the same way. The great thing is, as a free man, I can sit here and chuckle at your outrage. I've put it on my own blog to show the world what a petty little tyrant you are. Soon, I'll be purchasing ANOTHER firearm no matter how hard you stamp your feet or how red your little face gets. There's nothing you can do about it. Even with all the shootings, support for gun control are at an all time low. Intelligent people realize it's ineffective. Others throw snits and claim that while it doesn't work, it might work if you do it harder. Good luck with your total control scheme. I assume you're man enough to try to take the guns away yourself using… umm, what exactly? A coward would ask someone else like the police to do it for him but the police are civilians too and have guns (and oddly, a MUCH higher percentage of criminal uses of guns than the normal populace). So, you're in a conundrum – ban guns, but have to use them to ban them to begin with, which would admit that guns actually have a use. Sucks to be you, dude.
