Let's see now.....what should we ban here, Hepatitus C, syringes, nursing techs? Gotta ban something, right?. Need to pass another law and this too would stop! Right? Can't enforce the laws we have now......but we need more, right?
Too many of us are barking up the wrong tree, as usual! Obviously, we need to spend our energy, and brain power, on determining what motivates these people and work to identify why they do what they do! It's NOT about the weapon! This clown doesn't even own a gun, yet his death count hasn't even been counted yet, and it could easily out number M. Holmes!
But guns are loud and they scare the stupid people and stupid people need government protection. I bet he fired a gun once... that counts..... Luckily the stupidity on this board in regard to gun control is not reflected in the general population. Background checks for guns rose 43% in Colorado after the shootings.

If we ban lab techs and needles we can solve this problem.
In all seriousness it looks like he could have infected over 1,000 people with Hep C. They will end up testing close to 2,000 people. The number of people who's life will be cut short because of his actions will could be in the hundreds. After they give him life in prisons and the first person dies from Hep C related illness they should place him on trial for murder and seek the death penalty (lethal injection preferably). Personally I think attempted murder should carry the same punishment as murder. You should not get off light because you're a failure. We have some really sick people in this world.
The scary part is that some where there is a politician who want to get elected who will promise to protect the stupid people with pieces of paper with laws and regulations written on them.
