How would gun control fix any of these problems? If you got rid of guns, there would still be shootings, people would just buy them illegally, what's stopping them from illegally buying guns if they already planning to do something illegal? I personally would feel safe if I wasn't allowed to carry around a pistol, or have one on my bedside. Yeah, there are the police, but even if you got the chance to call them if the situation arrives, they would take around 5 minutes to get to your house or more, and that's plenty of time to kill lots of people. We need to focus on what's causing the shootings, and fixing that, because even if you entirely rid the world of guns, there would still be killings and murder.
