Let me get this straight: the shooting occurred in the city and state with some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country and "Dr Demento" here thinks the problem is not enough gun control?

Sh'yeah...right...

He is your typical liberal idiot. He makes the argument about the uselessness of more gun control without even realizing it.

The libs can't think far enough ahead to see how this won't work, even assuming they are honestly thinking. To stop selling guns in Georgia, Florida and Virginia and everywhere else would still leave probably 100 million guns in private hands. There's no way to confiscate even a quarter of them. Especially from criminals.

Even if you make the wild leap of assumption that it were possible to confiscate all the guns, history has proven time and time again that a thriving black market would immediately appear to fill the demand, and we're talking smuggling full auto military weapons, RPGs, grenades, the whole schmear. This is what happens when normal civilian guns are illegal. Do we really want these gangstas importing SMGs and grenades along with everything else that walks across the border? I think not. If it's easy to import pot and coke, it's easy to import heavy military weaponry, and why not if it's all illegal? Why waste time smuggling revolvers or bird guns?

Dr Kurtz needs to examine why his NYC patients are driven to shoot at one another. Treat the disease, not the symptoms.

This thinking is consistent with the Liberals' MO. Every time their policies don't work, they want more of the same. When welfare doesn't work, it's because we're not spending enough money on it. If public schools don't work it's because we're not spending enough money on it. If taxes rise and they choke the economy, they want to raise taxes more to make up for loss of tax revenues. If a toll increase makes people take other routes, they raise the tolls to make up for the short fall. If gun control doesn't work, they want to increase it. When an increase in the minimum wage predictably raises unemployment, they want to increase the minimum wage further...
