I'm not going to stand here and ask "what can we do about this?" because the answer is plain as day - we need a national ban on firearms.
So why do so many people disagree with banning firearms?
Well there are three reasons. Some people like shooting at non-human objects but this is just pointless anyway so it isn't really an argument.
Another well used reason is that people need handguns to defend themselves. These two studies prove that civilians with guns do more harm than good. Lets face it, criminals are always going to get the first shot anyway.
The final reason is because Americans think it is their right to be able to carry guns around and kill people indiscriminately. Well this might be true but it makes you think.
So what I propose is for a total nationwide ban on guns. All that you have to do is ban manufacture of ammunition. Guns will soon disapear that way...even from the criminals.
