Agree. We should stop glamorizing guns and gun battles in video games, movies and TV. Stop that and see if anyone claims first amendment rights. Then start talking about gun control. I do think greater background checks and maybe limitations on assault rifles would not be a bad idea.

Assault rifles were greatly limited in 1986.
Fully automatic weapons are tightly regulated and very expensive. No one is using them in crimes.

Assault rifles are already heavily restricted. I don't see why banning, limiting, or having more government control over anything will "fix" anything.

And while I'm not really into video games, I don't agree with my fellow people of the gun who glibly offer them up to be banned. Exact same mindset as people who are not into guns casually wanting them banned.

Too slippery. A couple of semi-auto handguns can do just as much carnage. Then the reaction would be to "limit" those as well. A better idea is to uphold the original meaning of "well-regulated". That means every person be trained and equipped to stop such criminals as Mr. Cruz. It also means Mr Cruz is trained and equipped but he would be vastly outnumbered by the sane people.
