Gracie - I don't believe he, or anyone else, will be successful in getting gun laws changed to where citizens could no longer own guns. There are a tremendous amount of lawful gun owners that would revolt to their 2nd amendment rights being taken from them. It is just another waste of television air time, in which the discussion provides the perpetrator with the attention they desired.
I do believe the media and government / local officials have the power to curb some of these acts. It is more desirable to be known as a villain than a coward. These perpetrators that shoot unarmed (defenseless) people, should be portrayed as the coward they are! Take all the guns away, and these cowards would probably drive a vehicle into a crowd of people (possibly those standing in line for the next "new" phone at the Apple store) to get the recognition as a villain, installing fear in others, the attention they so desire.
