Not if they are as crazy as that boy was...!  sorry to disagree with you on some points Quest...  Some people want students to be armed..!  They say that would have stop the shooter...  I say they are crazier... Ignorant

Furthermore, other “civilized” countries that practice gun control have had no change in their murder rates due to gun control worldwide and as a matter of fact, their homicides have increased over the years from gun crimes.

Apparently their attempt at gun control was a failure... I'm sure companies that defend guns like the N.R.A.'s money has a lot to do with it..   tell me of a country Who has good quality gun control and then tell me they have a gun problem..    a motorcycle owner has more rules imposed on them than guns owners do....   Go to Virginia to a gun shop and see...  M16 are on sales... hurry!    Captured guns in NYC are mostly from Virginia...  did you know that?

My broad brush solution:

• Stop the pharmaceuticals companies from trading our health for good profits.

• Increase the metal health quality of this country.. get the psychiatrist off his bottom and do some real work..

• Educate people on mental illness.. so it becomes understood..

• Stop pumping pills into people and instead use understanding and real care..

• Stop defending gun sales for reasons of " just because"...   Good gun control has lowered NYC's gun incidence "significantly"

• Stop the sales of guns without a quality background check...  and a license with as much attention on it as a valid car lincense..  the very least
