Criminals have no regard for the law, hence why they're called criminals. Areas in the United States which have the highest crime rates have the strictest gun laws - imagine that.

Had someone been lawfully able to have a concealed gun near one of those schools that were shot up, then I bet they could have saved a lot of lives.

Additionally, I think it's best people keep in mind that people kill people, and guns are merely a tool.

For example, around the same time that all those poor little kindergarteners were killed in Connecticut, there was a man in China who grabbed a knife and stabbed 22 small children and 1 adult in a rampage at a school...

My point is that if someone wants to do harm, they're going to find a way to do it. This is not a perfect world. Banning guns, or further restricting them isn't the answer.

If anything, I think our failing mental health system needs a good look at.
