Similarly, I find laying the blame for these atrocities on "mental illness" just as illogical, for much the same reason.

There is plenty of mental illness in Japan, Australia, Canada, etc yet gun massacres are not epidemic in those countries.

Death is death, doesnt matter what form a killer uses to kill someone. Take the guns away, they will hijack a Bus and ram it into a shopping centre and kill even more people.

The issue is not from the items they use as its been proven that people can have guns and video games and still be sane. Russia has guns yet there school shootings are kept to a low.

The real issue is having mental people who want to kill on there mind walk the streets. This has been a human issue since the beginning of man not just since we created guns. 

End of the day, take guns away from killers, they will find other means to kill. Its what they want to do, its not something they wake up in the morning asking themselves.. "hmm i have guns, lets go kill people" or "hmm i have no guns i cannot kill people" thinking. Its quite simply a disorder that needs to be addressed and monitored.
