I have to think that it's something deeper, societal values and pressures that drive people into this. That article earlier about the knife attack in China - it mentioned that rapid societal change is letting mentally ill people slip through the cracks.
I have to think that our systems in place and Canadian society values play a larger part than we think in controlling situations like this.

I agree with you. I really do.
I don't think gun control will help.
But, despite that belief, I just want to ban them anyways. Maybe it will stop one attack. The US has a serious frickin' problem. I don't know what else to say.
This is just absolutely sickening. Look at us here on CP asking 'why?' Imagine what the parents of those poor, innocent kids are feeling. It is a completely acceptable response to want to ban guns.
Sadly, I don't think it is the solution to the overall problem.
