I'm not pro guns at all, but derailing this thread with all the gun talk here is kind of pointless, don't ya think?
Guns are just one tool of mass murder, and not the most efficient tool either.
Banning guns would make the next sicko turn to pipe bombs, grenades, suicide attacks, fertilizer bombs, etc. Murder is determined by what is in a person’s head/heart, not the tool in their hand.
Whether civilian gun ownership is a negative or positive for society is a subject which intelligent people can disagree, but when fighting the subject of mass murdering sickos perhaps we should focus more on the society that creates them and less on the tools they choose.
I'm a hypocrite for contributing to this pointless debate because, really...the focus should be on the victims of this tragedy. Nothing else.
