Changing laws is the easy part, but changing the culture that produces these kinds of acts at the rate it does is much, much tougher. The reason these things happen far less in Canada isn't because guns are harder to get; it's because Canada produces less psychos who are obsessed with guns and violence that will act out like this.

When one of the biggest lobby groups with the most money is a firearms rights advocacy group your not changing anything.
I'm all for gun control, but gun control on its own inherantly fails without dealing with the underground gun market and extremely punative punishment for gun crimes.
