This a complex problem that needs some discussion at the governmental level in regards to banning assault weapons to the general public. .
We can make out voices heard and hopefully, some solutions will be implemented. I think guns are a part of our culture and owning a gun should be held by responsible people only. I am against the easy access to assault weapons in the hands of the general public. One child had 11 bullets in them.
I see no reason why a person needs this level of protection. Even hunters don't need a weapon like this to kill an animal.
Will banning assault weapons solve this problem? The answer is no but we can limit the potential for more incidents. IMHO
Access to mental health, curbing violence in the media, movies, video games can help.only. Children should be exposed to learning tools type games and not a toy gun. I have never bought my son a toy gun. Is this simplistic, Possibly yes, but we owe to our children and grandchildren to seek better options.
Off soapbox.
