Somebody let a nutcase have access to these guns. That is the problem.

There´s already a ´National Policy on Guns´.

/it´s called the 2nd Amendment

Yes, it is time for a National policy. Allow everyone to carry, problem solved!

How about a national stop and frisk law. If you have a gun illegally, you go to jail for a year. And, start enforcing the laws we have now.

How about stop mainstreaming nutcases!

I´ve got an idea. Let´s make murder illegal.

For God´s sake, Menino. NO.

how about this as a National Policy: Any location wishing to be designated as a "Gun-Free Zone" must provide two armed guards at all times that unarmed civilians are present, said armed guards shall have standing orders to "shoot to kill" any time they see a weapon aimed at said unarmed civilians. (No previous shots fired necessary for defensive actions).

Any person aiming a weapon at unarmed civilians at any "Gun Free Zone" location may not use a "plea bargain" for any reason to get his charges or sentence reduced.

What a thoughtless comment.

This is all very tragic. Good laws never come from hasty actions. And in this case two wrongs won´t make a right. Shame on these politicians. Shame! Using an unimaginably horrible tragedy to pursue a reduction in our liberties. What low life vipers. Jackals! Hyenas! Grieve for the poor families for crying out loud. I can´t begin to imagine the grief they are all feeling right now, including the shooter´s remaining relatives. We already have laws regarding the mentally challenged and their access to firearms. Let´s review the facts before cutting off our nose to spite out face. And shame on those politicians, leaders of the executive, who aren´t doing their jobs, letting these laws go unenforced and allowing these tragedies to occur. Somehow though, they find time to campaign for curtailment of one of our freedoms. For shame! If I were a conspiracy theorist, I´d begin to wonder. With rights come responsibilities. Adults are expected to be responsible. Politicians too. Start acting like it.

This is what stupid liberal mayors do. They are dangerous loudmouths. And always well-protected by people with guns.

When Bloomberg gets rid of his armed security detail that follows him around town, then I´ll believe he´s sincere about gun control for us law-abiding peons

No. We need better mental health screening.
How many of these mass killings are by young screwed up men ?

Now could we have a moment of silence and respect for the families ?

Control freaks like this liberal, Bloomberg, BO and others, never miss a beat to impose their will!

It is absolutely a mental health issue. The MH "activists" have created the homeless population and all of these mass murders. They will sue the pants off any doctor who signs onto an involuntary commitment. Families are helpless to do anything about loved ones (the Virginia Tech shooter, for example) who need institutional care. Thank you liberal nut jobs!

Here´s a good policy: enforce the existing laws, including guns laws, and punish criminals.

We already have twenty three thousand guns laws nationwide and the wackos think we need more.

Crime control not gun control.
Criminals don´t care about laws.

All responsible good, honest and decent folks should carry guns. If one or two of the teachers a the school in Connecticut had carry permits and guns, bad people can be stopped.

I´m a grandmother and not a violent person, but I would have done my best to stop the shooter.

Thank you, #16. That is the national disgrace and tragedy! And not meaning to make false conclusions but all these mass shootings seem to occur in states and locales where the gun laws are the most restricitive rather than where guns are more prevalent.

My first thought on reading the headline is exactly what #2 wrote.

Let you federal elected representatives know you will not stand for interference of our 2nd Amendment Rights!

One of the worst things to happen to our society was a Pediatrician named Benjamin Spock. He taught a generation to throw disciplining children out the window. We are seeing the seeds sown by that man in the fact that these young shooters are the offspring raised by parents whose own parents followed Dr. Spock´s bad advice.

Dittos to #2.

Perhaps if they had jobs these young nuts wouldn´t be runnig around shooting up the place. Welcome to Obamaland.

Go suck an egg.

Liberal mayors have basically disarmed any resident of their cities, except the very rich, famous, connected or friends of the court. The rest are at the ´mercy´ of every low life Menino and Bloomberg plea bargain back onto the street. Someone ought to ask this dictator why he wants all innocent Americans to suffer the same fate as people who voted for this jerk.

Come get them.

"Mumbles" Menino can´t even keep the bums off his own streets. How´s he plan to enforce more gun laws?

"After a shooting spree," author William Burroughs once said, "they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn´t do it." Burroughs continued: "I sure as hell wouldn´t want to live in a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military."

How about stopping coddling criminals? Commit a murder and you´re out in 2 years. Commit embezzlement on a grand scale (even against the goobermint) and you get 6 weeends in jail. That´s what the criminal justice is around here.

Here´s one, Mumbles; use a gun in a crime of violence and get five years hard as long as nobody´s hurt, and the Chair if anyone is.

One thing you can be sure is that those proposing a national policy are democrats. Forever insisting on national uniformity, compulsion and coercion. Everything decided for you by unseen bureaucrats or a few hundred democrats in DC. I despise these people.

My theory is the young men who do these things are casualties in the war on boys. We medicate so many little boys as soon as they go to school so they´ll behave more like little girls. We encourage them to reject their emerging masculinity. Then throughout their puberty they´re marinated in a toxic pop culture of violence and misogyny. Schools are women´s domain. He shot his mother in the face.

Of course politicians and the media can´t stop themselves from making the tragedy worse by using it to go after their political enemies. That´s who they are.

I agree on having a national policy --- just like Switzerland.
A weapon and a qualified shooter in every home !!!!

No way the "mental health" solution will work. Surprised so many advocate it. Can´t you see it will turn into "You are as crazy as we say you are!"

And what, pray tell, would that policy be Mayor Menino, who has a 24 hour/365 day armed guard.

Because of liberal wackos, we mainstream every degenerate and psycho. Taking guns away from law abiding people will only make it worse. The previous posters are correct. As soon as these pompous political blowhards stop hiding behind their armed security detail, maybe we will listen to what they have to say.
