You can't. Outlawing guns all together does not affect those people. It only affects spur of the moment killings by otherwise law abiding citizens.

I agree with this to an extent. There should definitely be some restrictions in place for firearms but I don't think we should be making certain kinds of guns illegal just because they're big and scary. Personally, I'm happy with the laws currently in place here in Az.
