Thats was kind of my point from earlier, it needs to be a thought out plan attacking the issue from multiple fronts, not just the usual one size fits all approach people want to bang on after these things happen.

I don't have the numbers in front of me but I'm sure the number killed on major city streets in mostly the drug wars dwarfs the total killed in mass shootings.

And going along with your approach from multiple fronts I feel a major change should be the way the media covers these tragedies. Is infamy the only reason these things happen ? No, but I do feel it's a big factor. Like someone else said above the copycat syndrome is part of it as well.

Simply writing more gun laws will solve nothing. We need to totally rethink how, what, when, etc. these things are handled and take a different approach.
