Many of them got their guns legally.I think the most crazy killers did.

Possibly, and certainly worth looking into.

The matter of personal freedom is also worthy but just maybe it would be reasonable thing to give in a little bit on this issue.

Maybe. It certainly needs more honest discussion, and less rabidness from both sides. The biggest honest question from the gun side is whether it would actually do any good. The Australian and Canadian contingent will say yes, it definitely works. The Americans will say the situations are different. I'll say "I don't know". My only worry is that if it doesn't how long do we wait before changing our minds, if that's possible at all.
The other worry is that if it does work the next step will be to try to ban other guns. Or, as a friend of mine once said, "I'll give up my guns when you can absolutely 100% guarantee that you can take away all the bad guys' guns.

I agree, and it needs more discussion. What it doesn't need is more vitriol and the old "I'm right and you're stupid" attitude.
