    The shooter used four handguns at the school; the .223 rifle was left in the car, but here's the real shocker: he was really intelligent and had a history of mental illness.

    edit: Also, he tried to legally buy an assault rifle several days before the attack, and was rebuffed.

    Yea, stuff keeps changing. So far it still looks like all guns were legally acquired (aka the gun control "worked").
    The mental illness part is a very big part. Why do so many people take the incredibly selfish stance of "taking guns away will fix the problem"?? Very few are concerned with helping the people who have mental illness. Nevermind the fact that many of these people are bent on causing harm, with or without guns. A crazy idea would be to make mental care more easy to access than guns are... and NOT by increasing the barrier to guns because you think it protects YOU.

    A much better handling of mental health would fix so many other issues in this country.
