We need to figure out why kids feel the answer to their problems is killing other kids. In my opinion the guy that posted in the other thread about technology and the social disconnect of a good part of this generation is a leading contributor.
There have been guns around for as long as we have been a nation. It's just in modern times that we've seen the widespread mass killings. And this one wasn't even with an "assault" rifle. It was with weapons that are about as low tech as you can get.
We need to get to the root problem. Why are kids doing this?

Well, on what gun laws could help...let's start with a really easy one.
Are bumpstocks illegal on a federal level yet?
Why not?
I think we all know why.
It's for the exact same reason that someone talked big about...
"others are afraid of the NRA, but I'm not."
That is until they had a lunch date with the NRA...then nothing but crickets.
And how about we start holding those parents who have made easy access to guns...accountable also?
As for one of the big reasons regarding
"why" it has become more prevalent.. that was addressed in the other thread also.
Santa Fe High School student claims students and coaches '''emotionally bullied''' suspected shooter

A student who survived the Texas school shooting on Friday has spoken out about the accused gunman, saying that he was 'emotionally bullied' by his classmates and coaches.

But since bullying is condoned, little action taken, loud voices saying
"you just need to put your big boy pants on and take it, since it never harmed me" and actually perpetuated by our national leaders...fat chance that will work either.
