As someone else said gun violence is only a symptom of our real problem. We've created a society that is breeding these child killers in ever larger numbers and we have to get to the bottom of why and stop it or no amount of gun control is going to keep us from falling into the abyss.
We had guns all around us growing up but actually shooting each other over schoolyard tussles just never entered our minds this in spite of the fact that we'd often spend recess playing army or cowboys and indians.
Something happened to our society between then and now. There's been lots and lots of changes. Figuring this out is not going to be easy, and it'll get no easier by polarizing people against each other. The more they argue over gun control the less likely the two sides will ever be able to work together to solve the actual problem.
