Tragedy Sparks Debate

Since the fact that this tragedy and the subsequent argument stemming from it will be a major topic of discussion for may months to come, I thought I'd give my two cents on the situation. Both President Obama and Romney hold the viewpoint that we should not pass new stricter gun laws but instead strengthen current gun control laws, I found this to be a a good decision since I found that the main reason for bot parties lack of drive to work on this issue more was that they were both looking for "broader and more politically appealing ways to keep guns away from killers." I can clearly see were both sides are coming form on this issue, the perpetrator of this massacre, James Holmes legally bought all the weapons he had in his possession, and the lack of legislation reflects the reality that Laws and background checks can only do so much and are "often futile in in keeping someone with horrifying intent from executing a massacre." I'd like to know from you guys, how should we be handling these types of issues of gun-violence, how should we try to keep more assault-style weapons of the streets without treading on citizen's second Amendment rights?
