You could try a society that isn't awash with guns. Works everywhere else in the world ( not ALL the time, but often enough to make these sort of events extremely rare, I bet the US has more acts of random violence in schools than the rest of the world combined )

I would certainly like to see proof of that.

And I would suppose that is a cultural thing and not an availability thing.
I would suspect that if you could make all the guns disappear in the US that there would be a rapid rise in deaths from other methods such as knives.

It is clearly both. Your cultural issues would not result in shootings, if there were not guns that were easy to get. Duh.

You'd have to be bloody quick to kill 26 kids in a school with a knife, without someone stopping you.

Conversely, OUR laws don't work all of the time, but they do often enough to make these sort of events extremely rare.

"I bet" is the gun grabber's more vague version of "statistics show that...". They are willing to neither actually bet, or cite the study that provided the "statistics".

Compare the other lists to the fact that the USA needs it's own page, and the list there, dwarfs all the others combined.

It was breaking news just as I was going out earlier. Reports of possibly one man killed.
Just got back to find out an entire class of children shot dead.
Unbelievable.
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

So so sad, unnecessary and heart breaking 
There are unfortunately so many time I wish we could turn back the clock...
I wish strength to all the people affected by this.
