"And since we've ordered god out of our schools, and communities, the military and public conversations, you know we really shouldn't act so surprised... when all hell breaks loose."
6th Commandment: Thou shalt not kill.
Your argument is invalid.
Funny then, that when I - here in the UK - go to my local cinema to see "Dark Knight Rises", post-Dunblane, the only gunshots I'll hear in that auditorium will only be those in the film itself.
'Guns don't kill people, people kill people', my left bollock. Simply take guns out of the equation.

But then, we're dealing with an inbred redneck subhuman fundie who once said (emph-ass-is added):
“I almost wish that there would be, like, a simultaneous telecast, and all Americans would be forcedforced at gunpoint no lessto listen to every David Barton message, and I think our country would be better for it. I wish it’d happen.”

I've said it before, but bears repeating: Right-wing Fundamentalist Christianity in the US represents a clear and present danger - infinitely worse than Al-Qaeda - to all normal, decent, democratic civilised societies.
My thoughts on the matter:
If the NRA speaks out against gun control, post-Aurora atrocity, they're fucked, as - painting themselves into a corner, argument-wise - they're shown as condoning such an act. Can you say 'P.R. Disaster', NRA?
Mitt Romney has previously spoken out for gun control. Obama says nothing. Post-shooting, opinion polls indicate increasing support against gun control. Should Romney 'flip-flop' policy-wise - or not - he loses votes, regardless.
Obama just has to say: 'My hands are tied policy-wise; the Repubicans rule the Senate. What can I do personally? You tell me.'
The electorate can send him the message, via voting him in a 2nd time, as well as a massive Democrat landslide (Senate/HoR) in the Midterms: 'Your arms are now untied. Here. You have our blessing - and the political/legal teeth - to take measures to ensure such atrocities become a thing of the past'.
After Dunblane here in the UK, it was after a similar message was sent by a lobby group, that guns were banned in this country. That particular lobby group? The British Public. As in Electorate. MPs in Parliament had no choice but to listen. And act.
And - via a letter to my (then) MP John Prescott - did I do my part in this lobbying.
I can go to my local cinema and see a film, safe in the knowledge that the only gunfire I'll see/hear is in said film.
It's in your hands, USA.
'Guns don't kill people, people kill people' eh, NRA? As proven by the example of the UK, post-Dunblane, just remove guns from the equation. It's rather fucking difficult to be killed by a stone/knife etc from many yards away, if they're not thrown accurately enough and/or with sufficient force; certainly with sufficient volume (a bag of stones = fucking heavy. A shitload of knives; our Police have a Zero Tolerance policy against carrying just one knife in public). I'm afraid that argument holds as much water as a colander these days, NRA.
Japan has even more hyper-draconian gun laws than the UK.
Moral: Seems there are people in other countries who can live - certainly exist - perfectly well without the need of/for a gun. PROTIP: The 2nd Amendment was put in the Constitution at a time when the fledgling USA had no established armed forces to speak of, thus necessitating the need for an 'armed militia' - citizens - in defence of said country; thus the right then to 'Keep and Bear Arms'.
2012. US Army. US Navy. US Air Force. US Marine Corps.
So why aren't you fighting alongside such in Afghanistan, o brave gun-fucking 'Armchair Warriors' of America...?
