        If major shootings influence gun laws, shouldn't the mass shooters be labeled & treated as terrorists by definition?

        First, you know what will definitely not help? Doing nothing. Second, you know why there is no little research? Because an NRA backed law chilled federal research on it.

        Define tougher? It is just a chanting word..if it happens again and again, means just a slogan and no real thought on it...or stop politician being bribed..corruption should have consequence like garnish their assets and lock them up.

        Nothing can stop this mass murders,except held the parents liable for their children and install metal detectors in schools. Do this and see the results, no more killing. This is a sure thing.

        As long as they do not focus on the issue of controlling weapons and make legitimate Need not just. "want to have" ,the basic ground for licenses to be achieved. then the number of guns will continue to increase and with that the violence.

        Gun and ciolence have surprisingly decreased over the past few years, but that is not what you are being told.

        Effective, but none were in US, where I doubt anything but a huge shipping of risperidone will help.
