The jig is up on the American gun movement. This stuff is happening at such an alarming rate that something has to give. The sensible people need to stop being afraid to call out issues with the 2nd amendment and start lobbying for common sense measures that make sense today.
If more guns equates to more safety is certainly isn't working in the US.

I don't think it is the answer. It's one step.
Yes, I do believe making firearms more difficult to obtain will help, so yes, it should be pursued further.
But guns as a whole will never be completely removed. Some people have legitimate reasons to own firearms, be it for their profession or whatever.
I think somebody like the monster yesterday would have found a way to do his damage, though probably to a lesser extent, regardless of gun control.
