That little faggot who killed all those kids should never have had a gun, it's rpetty hard to slaughter 20+ people with a kitchen knife.
Those spree killings are a tiny percentage of all murders in the US.
Most are committed by hardened criminals who would still have accessed to guns, even if totally outlawed.
The US has had a violent crime problem and a violent culture from the start. It's not the same as Europe, and never will be. Try European laws here, and our violent crime issues would get worse, not better.
I am actually for a modification of gun laws to prevent high powered weaponry from landing in the hands of citizens who can use them for murder.
It should also be noted that deranged criminals who want to kill mass people can do so without guns, such as constructing homemade bombs. The Boston Marathon terrorists, for example, committed their crimes without guns (well, until they were already on the run after the crime was committed). The terrorist in Nice committed his crime with a large truck.
