Someone could make a bomb that could kill way more people than a gun. The worst school massacre was done with a bomb, but that's the thing, since then over the last 100 years it's a lot more difficult to get your hands on explosives, and it's just generally a lot more work to do similar damage.
The colorado guy had a bomb or something akin to it, if it was so efficient why did he leave it where he lived, instead of just driving a car bomb to the theatre?
I'm not saying ban guns, I'm saying that people generally accept that the second amendment doesn't say you can bear any arms in particular, like oh an automatic weapon, a RPG, or a nuclear bomb. I think it's reasonable as one facet of an overall approach to say maybe we shouldn't sell armor piercing bullets to just whomever, or high capacity clips, or high powered assault rifles.
It will NOT fix the problem tomorrow, I mean the gun used in this shooting was banned, but grandfathered in, but nothing will fix it immediately.
