First off, I am a gun advocate. However, gun laws need to be stricter, there should be better background checks, restrictions on magazine loads, along with more owner accountability. Let’s start with the fact that those background checks should include new guidelines to cover areas of mental illness. Secondly, I understand that there may be a hunter that prefers to hunt with a .223 rifle, but realistically, does a hunter need 20 plus rounds to take down a deer? Gun ownership should come with accountability of the owner knowing where their guns are at all times, along with keeping their guns out of the wrong hands, especially anyone with a history of mental illness. There should also be a safety course required before a gun purchase. I am a gun owner and would not object to any of the above to prevent harm to anyone. As I mentioned, this is a multifold issue, and as such, other things need to be considered and changed as well. The security at schools should be the first line of defense, let’s look at installing metal detectors at each and every school entrance, let’s make sure that they have personnel to secure the school, and let’s look at enhancing the schools with some security features like Kevlar curtains near the doors, and locks or door jamming devices that would keep a shooter from accessing the classrooms.
