On the other hand, gun laws have to start at some point in time. If we 
have to wait until there are no guns to ban them, it might take some 
time indeed :-)

I'm not sure any gun law would change the mentalities or solve this kind 
of problem overnight either. However, there is something I'd like to 
point out. I believe some said that a gun law would not help because you 
would still be able to buy firearms illegally. I do think this makes 
quite a difference, because you have to step out from legality earlier 
and probably some time before the fact. It takes a new level of planning 
and premeditation, in a way.

I'm not too clear on the laws in the United States or on the specific 
reglementations on campuses etc. When are the actions of someone 
behaving like that becoming illegal exactly? Wouldn't a law give them a 
chance of realizing they are doing something wrong earlier?
