Those who want to hurt others will find a way to do it. Pass all the laws you want, ban whatever you want, there will always be evil in the world, and school violence will never cease.

Let's pretend for a moment that, had there been some kind of new gun control, that the shooter's mother wouldn't have possession of those guns and ammunition... the kid could very well have strapped a home-made bomb to his chest and blown up part of the school. He could have brought tear gas... he could have brought a knife... any number of things. The point being, that boy was bound and determined to cause harm to innocent people at the school that day, and no number of useless gun laws could have changed that.

So let's not even entertain the idea of "if we ban these guns, then no one will get hurt by them". That is laughable in so many ways. The government banned alcohol, that didn't work. It banned harmful drugs...that has totally and completely backfired. There shouldn't be a debate on gun control after every single event that occurs related to guns. It has nothing to do with gun laws, it has to do with evil, disturbed people who want to hurt others. You will never stop that kind of thing.
