Sandy Hook is a tough and sad example. Once a homicidal nut is on school grounds with high powered weapons, tragedy follows. The mom of the killer thought exposing him to deadly weapons would help heal his mental issues. She likely let him know where the gun safe keys were. She got a bullet through the head before the killer went to Sandy Hook and killed 26 innocent human beings. There were two tragedies, a gun loving mom was left to deal with a person that should have been a publicly funded mental institution and the second and most disheartening is what the killer did at at Sandy Hook.
We are not going to stop killers, there are so many ways to kill. But guns present by far the easiest way to kill, so we should work on sane ways of keeping them out of the hands of potential killers and mentally unstable people.
