Yet another horrible school shooting! This time in Florida. Of course the knee jerk reaction is to ban all guns. But guns by themselves are not the problem. 40,50 years ago when I lived in Virginia, there were gun racks in every pick up but people didn't kill each other.
In this case there were two issues as I understand it. One is that the FBI was notified of this guy's intent to become a school shooter and they did nothing about it; and secondly, what kind of family did he come from? Was it a warm loving nurturing family?
From my way of thinking that is the most important thing. If you don't teach your children the value of life the child will not respect life and be at risk.
Gun control in and of itself is not the answer, If you take guns away from those who are innocent law abiding citizens, you then allow them to be targets of thugs who don't care and obtain guns on the black market.
