I am all for revising our current gun laws. We HAVE to have a national conversation on how to prevent another national, no, international tragedy like this and I am open to any suggestions.

thats your opinion and your right to believe it, I just have a different opinion.
That said, we, as a country, still need to have a national dialog on this issue.
