You make the logical fallacy that just because they CAN still get a gun, that it's equally likely that they will get a gun. It's not. Having to go through hoops to find a gun will result in fewer insane people having guns, it's that simple. It won't prevent all shootings, and certainly wouldn't work very well in the US, since you guys have been flooding the country with guns for a century. In other countries it works quite well though.

Couldn't agree with this more, but I'm not sure it's a valid argument in most people's eyes.

The Clackamas shooting was a perfect example of an incident that gun control likely would've prevented. It was not premeditated, it was a bad kid on a very bad day that found a gun easily. If he didn't find it, I think it's safe to wager he wouldn't have done it.

Yes, obviously people like Anders Breivik can not be stopped by gun control, but I don't think it's worth flooding the world with guns to try (and probably fail) to protect ourselves from people like him.
