Nail and head, this is the point we've all made. Time after time we keep hearing about these shooters just being a normal neighbor that was quite pleasant and so forth.
As put, it can be absolutely anyone that for whatever reason decides to go postal.
We're all debating here but we're all right on the same thing. There really isn't an easy solution. There has to be a way to make some form of progress agreed but as already said, there is far too many firearms in circulation to make an instant impact and that's the result of some pretty questionable governing choices.
I'm glad I live in the UK, I'm glad I can go to sleep at night without having to wonder if someone in my street is going to just go crazy and pull out an Assualt rifle, enough ammo to cover a small skirmish and a handgun just in case and then start shooting up the street. It's not foolproof here at all (See: Derek Bird 2010) but it's a shed load safer.
