Since there are no real gun control laws in place that are actually effective and address the issues there are 20 or so dead kids and we will never know what could have happened.

You have more faith than I.
How many "hiding" places are there in a house? In a house where mom or mom and dad work so the kids are free to roam and explore. Kids never manage to find stuff their parents hide do they? Like "those " books and movies. Kids probably have a better knowledge of stuff in their parent's house than the parents do.
Your second paragraph is interesting--it states that current laws are not effective, and then makes the curious LEAP that future laws will be effective.
Its easier to believe ( and smarter, too) that something that has happened in the past will happen again than to assume that something that has never happened will happen. Gun laws do not prevent gun deaths.
