...in response to a tragic situation, for the safety of all of us, we should also implement the patriot act, allow warrentless wiretapping and spying of citizens, and indefinite detention of anyone accused, without proof, of a plethora of vaguely described situations, too.
What we need to do is think this through, be calm, and implement changes that will make an actual difference...not implement changes with knee-jerk reaction that do nothing but detain or inconvenience people with no actual results. For a good example of this, consider body scanners at airports...which have been proven ineffective...yet we use them anyway, all in the name of safety.
You think that requiring gun ownership to be more responsible is "knee-jerk?"
