The issue shouldn't be gun control. Anybody that is truly arguing gun control isn't thinking deeply enough. What has changed in society where these shootings are happening? When I was a teen, we used to keep our hunting rifles in our trucks (grew up in the country), and there was no issue with driving our trucks to school. Nobody went around shooting up schools. Why is it happening now? It's not because guns are available - guns have always been available.
