Republicans and gun control

The Republican arguments that gun control could not prevent tragedies like the Las Vegas massacre are nonsensical. In fact, who will be such a predator, we an do everything reasonable to reduce access to the kind and quantity of weapons he possessed. 
To express grief over the deaths of school children, concert goers, police officers and other innocent citizens and then do nothing is nothing more than a pathetic façade to cover the shameful attachment to the NRA and its money.
There is nothing in sensible gun control that compromises the 2nd Amendment. And the argument that unrestricted access to guns is necessary to prevent any government confiscation off weapons shows no faith in a government that has withstood a civil war, mass demonstrations, riots, a presidential resignation and assassinations holds no water.
