It would seem that less guns isn't the answer either.
Look, people are going to kill each other, and do it in the most convenient way possible. Note that "convenient" doesn't necessarily mean "easy to obtain." If there are no guns, people will just hack one another to death with knives or axes. It's just fact, there's no way around that. Case in point: the kid who hacked his parents up, went to school, tried to hack some people up, but was stopped because a teacher (Army Reserve) ran to his car and got his piece.
Suppose that students at VaTech had been packing. Would Cho still have done it, knowing full well that many, many of his potential victims might have similar weapons, but greater in number? (I know we're discussing teachers, not students, but it's just a thought exercise.)
I voted 'yes', but overall I'm still unsure, although leaning more towards 'yes' hence my vote.
