Gun control hasn't and won't stop mentally de-range people from killing others. Criminals and people who want a gun will get one our use a knife, bomb, etc. Mental illness among adolescents got worse with mostly unnecessary school lock downs. Parents and teachers should be better trained to recognize the warning signs so symptoms can be treated before they get worse.

Ed: Why are more or less automatic guns, designed to spit out as many bullets as quickly as possible, even available for individuals? What’s the purpose? Such weapons are not for target shooting or hunting, and not necessary to protect your home from the inside. Why should they be available at all? What’s the justification? We have seen the downside and what they have been used for by now, haven’t we? Just because NRA promotes such killer weapons, and politicians prostitute themselves to support such evil business? How can you defend it?
