Not all, but if a criminal truely wish to commit the crime of a school shooting, but that doesnt mean gun control is the answer. The person that wanted to cause a shooting could always find alternative methods to obtain the gun. Then I just have to mention that most violent shootings occur where law abiding citizens normally would not be carring fire arms, like a school.

Also, what evidence supports the idea that limiting law abiding citizen's access to fire arms makes us safer? So far, I mostly see that gun control laws make the world more damgerious, because law abiding citizens dont have the fire arms to protect themselves while the criminals have them.

@Worthyness: Obviously criminals would be discouraged, but regardless of whether they are afraid or not, at least the citizens can protect themselves from the criminals.
