Like I said before if a child gets harmed it will far more likely be at the hands of a parent or other family member than by a lunatic with a gun. The culture is at fault too and that's not an easy thing to change. Increasing gun control is like putting a band aide on an amputation. If someone is real intent on creating havoc he will find a way to do so. The media is saturated with violence, drugs, even teen promiscuity. Also the degradation of women in the music industry. We have a generation of young people that have grown up watching this stuff. There's bound to be some ill fallout.
we have a gun problem in this country, period.
