While Matt Schaefer’s statement was clearly beyond idiotic, I have serious doubts that gun control / background checks can solve the problem. There is a huge global black market out there. Anyone determined enough can get a gun. Failing this, these nutcases can produce homemade bombs or simply use a car as a deadly weapon. While probably over-simplifying a seemingly insurmountable problem, maybe we should start with curtailing violent movies and computer games? PS: I am not American and this is not just an American problem which is why I chose to chime in.
