But that will not happen regardless how many innocent children become the victims of such maniacs.
The right wing in the House and elsewhere won't permit it
I ask all, what does a teacher need 5 (five) firearms for??? You can lay at least half of all US gun
homicides squarely at the feet of the NRA and their swaggering supporters.
Sorry to get political in this board, the death of these little kids makes my feelings hard to control.
I hope, that, if there is any response to this post, it will be by PM.

I don't want to get into a political debate, but you cannot ban the personal actions of the ones who choose to commit these terrible acts. The people who commits these acts will use whatever tool they can get their hands on, whether it be a gun, a knife, or chain saw. Banning a firearm does not prevent the stabbing of the children in China and banning the knife would not either as the evil human being would have chose whatever tool/weapon that was available.
To also mention, this shooting and the Aurora shooting happened in gun free zones, these terrible people knew that no one could protect themselves. A feel good law banning the tool will not stop these people from killing their next innocent victim. If you believe making firearms illegal will solve the probelm, then you should also believe that no one does cocaine anymore because it is illegal to do so.
Want to know what has not been reported, an armed man stopped further killings by the Oregon mall shooter.
How could this have not been reported nationally unless the media has an agenda?
Or a 12 year-old girl protected herself from an intruder:
