Well, this thread went about the way I thought it would. Here is the part that you guys seem to refuse to acknowledge. Gun regulations that do not infringe on the right to keep and bear arms (the 2nd Amendment) will continually be voted on by the people. If you continue with the Do Nothing approach, the voting population will be forced into an unmistakable conclusion - you don't care how many people are killed by mass shooters that obtained their guns legally and had no criminal record. As with most sane people, they will decide that is not acceptable. And because they have no choice from the Second Amendment folks except to do nothing, then they will vote on Measures like 1639, which will likely pass by at least 10 percent in the State. Now, you can say that those voters are uneducated, liberal, scumbags that should be deported but you will still have to live under the new law. Seems pretty stupid to me.

And in regards to the question, no, I don't think that 1639 would have eliminated the Synagogue shooting. And doing nothing would have exactly the same result. Until you guys man up, you will be the "victims" of an electorate that is fed up.
