Ummm... tighten regulations on what? The Internet and search words? You'll still be able to look up rape porn no doubt, but not the words "gun" and "make" in the same string?

I agree with above posters. Someone needs to shut this guy up before he gets our Internet access controlled by Government.

I commend his anti-firearm stance but One Assassination does not equal a Social Problem.

tighten regulations

They can tighten regulations as much as they want, but it will not stop someone making a firearm! It will be just another show!
