Some here may say it is not about gun control, but that is a major issue that America needs to address.
Here in Australia we had one major gun massacre in Port Arthur, Tasmania. Gun laws were immediately put in place and we have not had one gun massacre since.
You can't say that if America introduced such laws nothing would change because it would. Someone who has this mental instability who wants to kill in America has the easiest and most convenient way to do so; buy a gun. Remove that option, and they have a lot more difficult means to come up with to play out and plan such a massacre. The whole argument that guns don't kill people, people kill people is moot - it's an excuse to not address the means of the problem.
Seriously, if you do not introduce laws that prohibit the sale and manufacture of guns, this is going to continue.
