Gun control is a moot point in the US. If you ban or restrict guns over there, the only people who won't have them are the law-abiding.

I don't think walking into a school and shooting a load of kids has much to do with gun control, someone crazy enough to do that is going to be a massive danger anyway.

Just when you thought you couldn't be shocked, this happens.
What I find disturbing is all these recent shootings that seems to follow the same script.
