Know how many "school massacres" we had before 1990? 0. But after the "Columbine Massacre" we have had 5 "Massacres" since then. (though it looks like there has been)

Also, not very sure of the validity but:

Apparently both Germany and Great Britain have(had actually) the worst Elementry school shootings. Only Newton beat those. Actually, the Newtown shooting was a case  of the gun control laws working as intended. The mother was a  Proper and safe gun owner. The Gun store refused to sell the gun citing bad history and some mental isssues. The problem was that the mother doesn't expect her own son to kill her and then do that and that is a fault of mental illness.

School shooting =!= mass murders who happened in schools.
Also mass murder spree didnt always happen in schools.
(most of the events related in this link have only 1 or 2 victims, hardly mass murders)



We can compare numbers and frequency and damages done by mass murders relative to the soil it happened on, but the fact is it happens world-wide, with or without strict gun control.


I still agree with HESKEY, we can reduce the numbers of victims. The 2nd amendment has a responsability in the grand scheme of things, but it would be a mistake to say it is the only parameter in question.
There is a lot of things to do in favor of less gun victims without modifying the US constitution.
