I saw in another post you said you were previously in the German army right?
If we protected our schools more like we do our banks this stuff would not occur, but taking gun rights from law abiding citizens is not the solution, gun crime would not cease to occur if that were the case. The Mexican drug cartel would simply have a thriving new market in the US for a new contraband product, in firearms. Drugs are illegal yet easy to find, if guns were illegal it would be no different.

Schools can barely afford staffing teachers. Do you know the cost of putting armed guards at every school or public facility in the country? Also, you can't just have one guard standing at the front door, the psycho can easily blow the guard's brains out first before continuing on with his rampage.
Gun nuts always propose unrealistic solutions: "Fix the mental illness in society!" Gosh really? Finding these people is like needle in a haystack. Without actually committing crimes the police can't do jack shit to them. And these psychos aren't going to turn themselves in for mental check up either.
The only feasible solution is putting a ban on this crap.
