Same old party line. Unfortunately, I've never seen a gun at a store unlock itself, go to the ammunition counter and load itself, float out the front door and head immediately to a school or movie and hover in mid air shooting people. "Other countries" have different cultural values and to their benefit don't have the "frontier mentality", gun culture, or lack of respect for authority among certain groups that we have to deal with.
Nineteen kids were killed in Texas, a great tragedy. Another instance where 19 kids were killed, along with 169 adults occurred in the neighboring state of Oklahoma. That one only involved a van, fertilizer and gasoline. Homicidal nut jobs will find a way. Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in the country, and just look at their shootings.
Full discloser: I've never even held a gun in my hand,
but I have read the US Constitution
