I agree, taking away the guns doesn't necessarily take away the problems. Access to guns does make this kind of thing easier in some regard, but considering that bringing guns into schools or selling guns to minors is already illegal, it's not like further control measures will make it any more illegal.

Some would suggest that a big part of the fault for these lies with the media. Because of how much stories like this get sensationalized and spun, already-troubled and attention-hungry young people can come to the conclusion that this is their only way to take revenge, make a mark, disturb the rest of the society (which they've come around to hating). Like it or not, it's the public obsession with these stories that makes them "win" in the end.
