Jeez man, you even SAID IT RIGHT IN YOUR POST.
Do you think kids under 21 are not drinking any beer?
Do you believe that MORE LAWS make evil people do less crime?
We can both agree that mass murder -- already illegal, right?
Yet they do it anyway?
Stop wigging out. Cops came to this kid's house some -THIRTY- times in the months leading up to this massacre and yet he was never taken in to custody and kept all his firearms. Systematic failure at every turn and you are talking about adding more turns so they can fail at those as well.
Gun laws are not going to prevent psychotic killers from killing.

1. There is no correlation between violent video games, violent music, violent movies, and violent acts.
2. The Broward County School District and Local LE had an agreement in place that essentially said that crimes committed by students would not be reported as such, and would be dealt with "alternatively," so they could say they did a good job of "preventing" youth crimes, which meant improved funding. This is why the Parkland shooter (I refuse to use his name) had so many complaints against him that went nowhere. He could've been charged and arrested on multiple misdemeanors and at least one felony, but wasn't.
3. Blaming inanimate objects and those who use them legally will continue to distract people from pursuing solutions that will actually work to protect people.
4. History has shown that when access to one type of tool is restricted, those intending to do harm will find another way to accomplish their goal.
5. Countries with even more restrictive gun laws than ours have similar, or even higher, rates of mass shootings.
6. As long as the media continues to give mass killers the notoriety they seek, there will continue to be mass killers, regardless of what tools they have access to.
While it is understandable to respond emotionally to horrific tragedies, rationality, critical thinking, and an objective assessment of the facts must prevail. To do otherwise would subject all of us, not just gun owners, to the whims of those who feel that giving up liberty for the perception of security is worth trampling on our rights.
Adding more infringements on our rights will do nothing to prevent someone intent on doing harm from doing so.

You'll still allow them to go in to the armed forces and be issued a rifle, bought & paid for by the taxpayers though, hmmm?
I must disagree with you.
In fact, yesterday I sent the NRA $300 to upgrade my life membership to the next level. We need all the help they can provide, so I stepped up.

Dude you are going to blow a nut with that rambling rant. My "Kids" although I prefer young adults, turned out just fine. What is up with the generalization of this generation being so much different than past generations? I raised a Educator and a Senior in College and they are quite productive members of society.
My friends son passed on a 6 figure job at the family business to join the Marines, because he wanted to.
Every generation has had it's misfits and criminals. And the other 99% lead productive lives like us.
