Gun control might not have an influence on the number of people who attempt to commit mass murder, but it is very much harder to kill 20 kindergarteners in a few minutes with a knife than it is with a gun.

There is no reason why we can't attempt to remedy gun murders by addressing more than one contributing factor at a time. I think there is a better chance of removing all handguns and automatic weapons than changing the psyches of all of those people who would commit murder with them Neither prospect seems imminently attainable, but at least a scaffolding can be erected that could help build a safer society within a century or two.

What are the sociological dynamics that produce murderers? Can these be changed? Surely not by tomorrow. That doesn't mean that we shouldn't try.
