To add to that, the government could also see to it that guns are more difficult to come by, by possibly tightening and enforcing stiffer penalties for people who leave their guns lying around.
Of course - I am not saying there's nothing we can do - in fact I think there are a lot of things we *should* do about this problem.
But when stuff like this happens, it just gets to me - it's like a cancer ingrained in our society - I just cannot grasp or comprehend the fact that there are young people who can kill people in cold blood like this. It's just one of the most disturbing phenomena I can think of
