My stance on guns is as follows:
There are some places in the world I would feel safer being in if I was armed. However, I don't think I'd actually shoot someone unless there was no alternative, i.e. my life/another person's life were at stake.
The difference with school shootings as opposed to regular shootings:
A. Young people have their lives end or forever altered.
B. It tarnishes the idea (dead by now) that parents can feel safe sending their kids to school.
That is enough to put some new laws on the books.
