I can't begin to understand the pain that the.friends and family of those lost to this horrible act of evil. But trying to ban guns is not the best way to stop this. If a person has evil intent they will find a way to do evil. 9/11 required no guns, just a couple of box cutters. The Boston marathon killings were done with pressure cookers. People have been run down at parades by trucks. Cain slew Able with a rock. Prosecute the guilty, identify troubled youth and get them help, protect yourself and your loved ones by being ready and able to defend yourself.
If making guns illegal would actually work I would be 100% in favor of it. Let's try making DRUGS ILLEGAL first so that there are no drug issues and see how well that goes.
