to the woman who said changing laws won't work and that if a person wants it bad enough they'll just get it illegally. actually none of the guns used in like 99% of these shootings the guns were obtained legally. it is harder to get a gun illegally and find people that are selling guns illegally.
most shooters are between 17-20 year olds. so tougher laws as far as age goes they should make it a law that you Have to be at least 21 years old.
i was hospitalized like 10 years ago because i had thoughts of doing harm to my husband for cheating on me and i looked everywhere for one to buy illegally and after a fruitful search i was unable to obtain it. so im glad i didn't do anything and i got the mental health treatment that i needed at the time. just goes to show how its not that easy to get a gun illegally.
