If there was a death penalty for all murders that used a gun, would this even matter to someone who is suicidal?

I can't think of anything that would have prevented this, possibly some one else can?
Prevented? 100% guaranteed? Nope. Not possible. China bans guns and someone did it with a knife on the same day.

But if we take a closer look at mental health issues in this country we might be able to identify and deal with some of the people that commit these acts before they have a chance.

And if we get rid of the "gun free zones" we might give those being attacked a fighting chance.

Banning guns will have zero affect, other than giving some people the feeling of being safer while actually making people less safe...
