Given the media frenzy surrounding school shootings, any crazed gunmen KNOW the best way to be seen and heard by mass media is to shoot up a school. There are 300,000,000+ guns out there. Gun control, no matter how aggressive can un-proliferate 200 years of firearm proliferation ANYTIME soon.

I agree Gun control if fine to pursue, but it won't help our problems today.
Gun control is a separate issue altogether from what I'm trying to discuss in this thread.
