As a mental health professional, I think you would agree that there has to be more than just "I got a gun" made these people who kill in mass and to strangers precieve the action as "acceptable".
Maybe , in addition to meaningful gun ownership, we need to look at video games, especially shooter type games. Outright violence in movie/dvd's, and messages of "might makes right".
I don't feel that the mindset that its okay to kill strangers and especially children is solely due to access of guns, it does make it easier for them, but until we get at the core of what makes people want to be famous by unspeakable means, only focusing on guns will stop this in future.
I honestly can't fathom anybody actually doing what was done today and I struggle for answers, but again don't think looking at this as a "only gun" issue is enough.
