What works at the national level and at the local level works in microcosm. Keep in mind that school shooting sprees always end only when someone else with a gun shows up. Every school shooting is followed by interviews on network morning infotainment programs in which interviewees blame the availability of guns. And no one ever heard of school shootings. Guns are far less available to Americans today than in the 1960 s, and school shootings are now a problem.
Guns are, in many places, less available only to law abiding people.
Guns always have been freely available to criminals who are willing to use stolen cash to purchase a gun illegally. It is important to note that many school shootings are perpetrated by children who have stolen their parents legally owned guns. These are the cases that rightly give rise to agitation against schools and parents who refuse to teach moral right from wrong. Let ordinary citizens and a few schoolteachers follow their own consciences in arming to defend themselves, and watch the school shootings go away.
