Guns are not the problem. People are. We live in a society that breeds hate, violence, and action. Something drove that man to kill. Many of you would volunteer to kill him before he killed those kids. We're all too well able to allow violence. We as a society foster this behavior, we let it grow in our schools, we embrace it as adults.
We don't have a gun problem, we have a killing problem. Something needs to be done to prevent people from going psychotic. Most of the time, they weren't born that way but were molded into that form. I'm willing to guarantee something caused the man to go insane, and as a society, we need to prevent that. If we can, maybe we will finally see a decent decline in murders, suicides, and assaults.
It's easier to change the gun laws than it is to change the people. Stricter gun laws would be a "step" in the right direction.
Do you understand how easy it is to take someone's life? Guns are only used because of their ease of access, not their efficiency. Even if you take away all guns, what's that to stop a kid with a backpack full of homecook boom boom powder from killing 40+ people in the hallway of his school? Taking away guns doesn't mean I can't go out at night and stab someone to death without being caught. Taking away guns is only hiding the problem, covering it up hoping it will just go away. Truth is, people are going insane, and violence is their way of lashing out, they will kill with or without guns. If we can find a way to fix the stress, a way to allow people to vent, a way for someone to release safely then we won't have an issue at all.
