What IS needed is help for people with emotional problems. We need to stop looking at mental illness as something to be ashamed of. If someone has a mental problem, they should feel comfortable seeking help.
Gun control will NOT solve the problem.

Ct has the most restrictive gun control laws in the Nation...so now what? Trying to stop mass shootings by taking away guns is like trying to stop car wrecks by taking away cars. The common thread that runs thru all these shootings is
they were committed by people with mental health issues. Guns are not the problem....a lax mental health care system is responsible. When these mental health issues are combined with drug use, all the violent video games, the breakdown in our society on all levels, including but not limited to faith based beliefs and the celebration of human life, there is NO moral thread to hold us together as a Nation. We have always had guns in this country...we have always had mental health issues, so what is different??? Drug use condoned by government, abandonment of any form of a belief system in this country, total breakdown of any kind of morals or ethics or integrity or accountability. This entire society is peppered with individuals evolving into ruthless, vindictive, totally emotionless zombie like creatures.....they will commit the unthinkable, against society, however they can manage it...by what ever means possible. If this boy had received the mental health care he obviously needed, he could have had access to an entire foot locker of weapons, and he would not have used them....dont look at the guns as the offending part of the equation...look at the mental health issues that have been ignored.
