In both cases, the gunmen turned the guns on themselves and both were "loners". That's what gave rise to the banning of guns in this country. Unfortunately, it hasn't worked and gun crime is rapidly on the rise, particularly among drug gangs
People can make all the gun laws they want, but the only people that will abide by them are responsible citizens. A 'law' isn't going to stop someone that isn't going to follow the rules in the first place. There will never be a law that will stop psychos from doing psychotic things.

Those poor people...it was a given that none of them would be able to protect themselves, being that they were in a gun free zone. I wonder if people would think twice about doing this kind of thing if there was a possibility of retaliation from their 'target'?
