Just google FBI annual crime statistics. Its been a talking point for a couple weeks.
Nick, just because a property says "guns prohibited" does not mean you cannot legally carry there. It means they have the right to ask you to leave if they see it. In order for it to be illegal it must be listed as a restricted site (school, church, etc) or have the very specific 30.06 or 51%signage on the door.
Also, you should hope every mass shooter uses a 100rd drum. They are crap and typically cant shoot more than 3rds without jamming or crapping out. They are cumbersome and throw the weigh dist way off. Hard to hit anything with it.

How is it not working? Gun crime has been on a steady decline since the 80's. Making it hard to get guns is going to stop gun crime like making it hard to get cars is gonna stop car theft. Or making it harder to buy songs on itunes is gonna thwart piracy. Music pirates dont use itunes, car theives dont buy cars, and gun criminals dont follow laws.
In a free society, the only way you can stop bad people from doing bad things is make them too afraid to do it.
