He blew away 20 kids with his mother's guns.

Matches do not enter into it. (Nor do cars. Matches and cars have other uses than sheer destruction. Guns don't.)

I do think that access to cheap or free mental health care would do some good in these cases. But the fact is, if the kid didn't have easy access to guns, he couldn't have destroyed so many lives.

Other countries -- decent, modern, liveable countries -- do not have mass shootings week after week after week. So I think we CAN prevent them here.
