CNN is simple propagandistic social engineering in it's most blatant, exploitive and fear mongering form. I wouldn't quote their hysteria whipping, disempowering tripe for anything even if it's pseudo news. Arms are not the problem, a culture of extreme violence inflamed by media interests is. I hate to even reply to posts like this since I'm here to forget about the garbage that passes for contemporary society at least for a few minutes, but well this got my goat since it's precisely the sort of sensationalism that justifies eviscerating the Constitution. While I prefer to think of myself as a left wing, socialist, commie Democrat, even I have my limits beyond which my gullibility is exhausted and the anti gun movement with its covert agenda of obliterating the right to bear arms has more to do with disarming America than rendering it a safer more civilized society.
