Um, because it
was people that shot their kids. It's not as if a gun can fire itself. The guns didn't march into the school on their own and start shooting people.
Taking away all the guns just seems to be going overboard to me. There are millions of people with guns out there who have never hurt anybody, but because a few crazy guys with guns get a lot of attention everybody thinks we need more gun control. Taking away the guns doesn't solve the problem. It wasn't because of the guns that those kids decided to shoot their classmates. Crime has been around a lot longer than guns. People who want to kill will find a way whether guns are legal or not. They'll probably find a way to get their hands on a gun whether guns are legal or not. It really only punishes people who own and use guns legally. Gun control might solve the immediate cause of violent crimes, but it ignores the real problems. And that's more dangerous than guns themselves.
