Might as well regulate the distribution of automobiles, SUV's, 18 wheelers, etc, as well.
As horrific and sensational as this incident is, the death toll pales in comparison to that on our highways EACH WEEK - including young children such as these - due to stupidity, road rage, DUI/DWI, lack of driver training, DB drivers, etc, etc....
Yet we as a society turn a blind eye to this and accept it as an everyday occurrence, the price of doing business - we pile on ever more safety devices and features onto our vehicles and enact more laws - but other than a slap on the wrist and a monetary fine, for the most part we still refuse to deal with the root cause of the problem -
THE LOOSE NUT HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL.
You can ban the MEANS (guns) of this incident into oblivion, but until you address the CAUSE and the PEOPLE that commit them, you're spinning your wheels - and asking for repeat under a different modus operandi.
