Damn tragedy, it makes me sick. But c'mon people, it is the highest form of ignorance to believe that stricter gun laws will prevent someone from perpetrating a mass killing. Someone that wants to kill a large number of people will instead heed gun laws and forget about their plot? I'm pretty sure drug users have no trouble obtaining drugs. I'm pretty sure criminals in countries with strict gun control laws still can obtain guns. For that matter, how many ways can a mass killing be executed without using a gun? The OKC bombing didn't require guns, only fertilizer and a little know-how.

The knee-jerk reaction is that we have to do SOMETHING. But the fact is that while guns are harder than ever to obtain, these instances were unheard of several decades ago. I think we as a society need to focus on the actual root cause of these issues instead of the symptoms.
