I am very glad your family was not there. And I am very sad that anyone got injured or killed. However guns are not the problem. There are 12727 times as many people killed with vehicle incidents every year as with guns. Maybe we need to eliminate the private ownership of cars and trucks. Than probably golf carts as some get killed in those. Lets go back to horse and wagons. Or just walk everywhere. Eliminates obesity as well.
Until we recognize what the root cause is, good jobs, education, drugs, and respect as taught by family, this problem will continue. Continue with guns, knives, bombs, baseball bats, and any other way people can figure out to harm others. Guns are not the problem, our society and lack of rules and respect for others is the root cause.
Just go back to when we were kids. Did your parents ever go to the school and take your side with any issue? Never. And in fact mine would ALWAYS take the side of the teacher. Thank about getting stopped by the cops and having beer in the car as a teenager. Yes, I did. Did your parents come to your defense against the police? Nope, I had to take the punishment given.
Our world has changed and unless we move backed to our core values, these problems will get worse, guns or no guns.
