What law do you want to propose that would prevent this in the future? You point out that the gun was legally owned, but you fail to mention it was not legally acquired by the shooter -- he shot the owner, dear old mom, remember? So, you go ahead and ban all "assault rifles" -- are you going to send the cops around door-to-door to the millions upon millions of Americans that legally own firearms with what you have deemed "high capacity" magazines? All I've seen is theorizing and posturing from the anti crowd, but no practical ideas about execution of an actual law. Nothing would have prevented this from happening, and nothing with prevent it from happening again. Do your absolute best to protect yourself (and your family if you have one) and don't rely on government to help you. His mom bought the weapon legally. Had the assault weapons ban not expired, the gun would have been illegal, and there would be no mass shooting. If a new ban were instituted, it would have been illegal. Legislation has already been proposed on this, also involving clips over ten bullets. At the end of the day, there might have to be incentives to help the turnover process, but I have faith that the majority of law-abiding gun owners would continue to be just that - law-abiding - at least more faith than I do in their ability to keep their guns away from mass shooters, since they keep failing at it, and twenty children more were just killed because of that failure. My point is there's no reason to have any more faith in the Nancy Lanza approach to guns and safety and passing on the same values to one's family, she was just as confident in all these things until reality shot her in the face.
