Gun control in my mind is avoiding the problem. All due respect to the Americans on this board, but America is a fucked up place with far too many fucked up people prepared to go to these lengths. This shit is becoming commonplace and the method that these nut jobs commit these acts shouldn't be the focus in the aftermath (although it invariably will).
Sadly, gun control is an easy answer, but it doesn't address the reason behind these acts (nor will it stop this sort of thing from happening). I don't have the answers on what is causing it (mental health, media attention, etc are good starting points) but there needs to be some good long discussions on it.
