It's too late for gun control in the USA - 200million firearms floating around just ain't gonna disappear.
Surely the point is guns were banned from the campus in the first place, meaning that if some nut or for that matter criminal. decides he or she is going to kill a bunch of people, then the law abiding people are left totally at the mercy of the gun barrel. If the campus had followed the same laws as the state of virginia in allowing a gun concealment licence, or for that matter if senior teachers had been entrusted with a gun to keep in storage, then this massive death toll would have been averted. The reaction of the police says it all to, they were of no protection to the people, they were just standing there unsure of what to do, so much for protect and serve. I can understand british police standing there perhaps, because of the fact they aren't armed but for these cops to have not done anything is just bewildering. The message in america that this should resonate and particularly as shallow has pointed out with such massive gun circulation anyway, is protect yourself with a gun.

With over 200 million guns in circulation though it is pointless debating the question should they be have been so easy to obtain in the first place. The fact is they are and leaving people defenceless only leads to these types of masscacres.
