Not saying that's good. Just saying.

here is what I see. I see gun control legislation not having much to do with affecting violent crime with illegal weapons, but ironically, it may certainly have an effect on these types of mass shootings using stolen legally owned weapons by suburbanites.
The argument can be made that these kids can find an illegal weapon, but thats easier said than done, let alone a socially awkward kid who fears and hates the world and is from a nice, happy middle class area.
I use Australian information as an example. They modified their gun control laws, rounded up huge numbers of guns, but not even half of the total number, but the most likely to be used in these types of crimes, and boom, not a single incident for over a decade of this type.
We on the other hand are screaming that the only solution to gun violence, is more gun violence, and arming teachers, ect ect. Just doesn't make sense to me at all, and moves us toward a ID check police state "for the protection of our kids".
