Terrible news, but your footnote??????

"* 230 people have been killed ... But NO GUNS !!"

Perhaps try reading this article...

http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2012/12/what-us-can-learn-australia-about-gun-control

Which includes this passage...

"In 1996, 35 people were killed in the worst gun massacre in Australian history. But the next decade saw the firearm homicide rate fall by 59 per cent, and the firearm suicide rate fall by 65 per cent, without a corresponding rise in non-firearm deaths."

Sure, guns don't kill people, the problem is the imbeciles who are so much braver when they're holding one.
