No one has said gun ban, that’s just an NRA scare tactic - there’s a huge difference between gun control and gun ban; when they brought in drink drive laws, it didn’t involve banning all cars.
btw, "further their agenda" - you mean, the agenda of not wanting school kids slaughtered? I’d support that agenda.
There have been 22 school shootings this year in the USA - thoughts and prayers aren’t working, so why don’t we try something else?
How did the murderer get those guns? Someone should legally responsible for those guns.
If the murderer got his guns from his father as rumored, then the dad should be legally responsible for failure to properly secure the guns. But that only works if there are enforceable laws in place regarding gun storage in the home. If that law doesn't exist, then it should.
Such a law would not prevent any responsible citizen from owning a gun. It doesn't infringe on 2nd Amendment rights, because it simply requires that the gun owner be held legally responsible for their guns, just like car owners are legally responsible for their cars.
The right laws make crime far less likely by modifying irresponsible/inappropriate behaviours, and by giving society legal recourse to hold people accountable for their actions - surely this is better than just repeating "thoughts and prayers" and doing nothing.
If we do nothing, nothing will change.

Exactly nothing will change so why are we wasting time talking about it, let them get on with it, they obviously think burying all these kids is a price worth paying so get on with it and don't come bleating when it all to predictably happens again
