The harder it is for society in general to own weapons the harder it will be for criminals to, since guns won't be everywhere.
Also a lot of pro gun defenders tend to separate people in two categories: law abiding citizens/Good people and criminals/evil people. They like this very black and white view of the world. We are all people, and people can be negligent, stupid, angry, crazy, sick, jealous, overconfident, drugged, drunk, make mistakes, etc... or in the case of this shooting have a son who takes your legally owned guns and kills all those kids and teachers. Criminals were law abiding citizens up to the point they committed a crime.
Just because killers will find a way to kill, let's not make it easy on them.
I do agree with you that the media should be more responsible the way they cover these stories.
