I think an important question is, "Would more gun control reduce the overall murder rate?" The pro-gun crowd would say it wouldn't because people would just find different ways to kill each other.
If it would though, we should ask ourselves to what extent the freedom to own guns is worth the death it causes.

I think the general consensus is that automatic and Perhaps semi automatic weopons with massive quick multi life kill potential should be banned to the general public. The problem is that there are so many in the public domain already that it would be tough to round them up. A law could make it illegal to carry them outside one's home, but the creeps that do the shooting won't care about that.
So for USA - schools need to be protected in a defensive manner. Moreover, p ublic events with large congregations and limited escape need tight security, metal detectors - barricades from snipers.
