I think the point that gun-controllers would make is that the only thing that would totally prevent mass shootings would be the outlawing of rifle or pistol semi- automatic guns--actually the ELIMINATION of such guns or even other guns since criminals would not be stopped from getting guns merely by making them illegal.

Gun control does not equal Prevention of Crime no more than a only a good guy with a gun can stop a bad guy can stop Mass shootings

people think Family values are to Blame and use the past as examples
but leave out what was missing (the availability of weapons and how differently they were marketed )

Handguns can be used quite effectively in mass shootings, ask major Hassan and the 13 families of his victims. Handguns were available back in the heyday if family values, yet mass shootings didn’t happen with this regularity.

It’s not just family values, and I never said it was. That’s one piece. Availability of sexy looking guns is another, guns whose loooks fuel the dark fantasies of a very small number of very sick people. Mental health issues, the internet, crappy parenting, lack of religion. And the violence we bombard our kids with, all play into it. And you’d have to be next generation thoughtless, to truly believe that trained, armed guards wouldn’t help just because of a recent failure. Reagan was shot in 1980, and no one was silly enough to say we don’t need the secret service.
